Job Description

Why Dartmouth?

At Dartmouth, we do things differently. Our unique ‘Classroom to Boardroom’ model means we support talent from their first job through to executive leadership. We’re proud to be known for our kindness and excellence, two values that shape everything we do.

Dartmouth is looking for ambitious, values-led, commercially minded junior recruiters to join the Early Careers team. Since 2012, our Early Careers team has been a market leader in junior talent advisory and recruitment. The team design and deliver bespoke campus programmes and manage end-to-end hiring processes for internships, apprenticeships, and graduate roles across a wide range of industries.

We're experts across multiple industries, from asset management, hedge funds, investment banks, and private equity, as well as supporting start-ups and corporates. Our team spans London and New York and is the biggest independent team at Dartmouth.

About the role

Your role will focus on networking and connecting with candidates, understanding their key drivers and motivations and learning the recruitment lifecycle. You will work closely with your team to develop relationships with existing clients and, in time, develop your own new client relationships through consultative business development. You'll also identify and attract talent through delivering research projects, building market maps, analysing and reporting market trends, and working on the creation of value-added DEI events.

As an Associate in our Early Careers practice, you’ll:

• Build and manage relationships with clients and candidates

• Design and deliver tailored recruitment campaigns

• Run full-cycle recruitment processes, from attraction and screening to onboarding

• Collaborate with clients on programme design and assessment strategies

• Help shape the future of early talent hiring in critical industries

• Bring a people-centric attitude with the desire to deliver an exceptional experience

Who we’re looking for

The team are looking for recent graduates who are excited by challenge, motivated by impact, and ready to grow fast. You don’t need prior recruitment or sales experience; what matters most is your drive, your curiosity, and your ability to build relationships.

You’ll bring:

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with exceptional attention to detail

• A commercial mindset, professionalism and the ability to confidently build relationships internally and externally with clients

• A passion for delivering exceptional candidate and client experiences

• Adaptability and a proactive approach to problem-solving

• A values-led mindset and a desire to make a difference

What you'll get:

You are key to the success of Dartmouth, and we will invest in your development to help you maximise your opportunity to progress to Consultant and beyond. In the role you'll get:

• A high-performance, supportive culture where you can be yourself

• Personalised training and development from our in-house team through enrollment in our market-leading training camp, the Kernel Academy.

• Clear, transparent career pathways and commission (up to 50%)

• Incentives like lunch clubs, international trips and sabbaticals

• Key benefits include a healthcare cash plan, discounted gym membership, access to free mental health support and more

• Opportunities for international mobility (London, New York, Charlotte)
