Recruitment Apprentice (18-month Fixed Term Contract)

As a Recruitment Consultant apprentice, you'll learn the full craft of recruitment - how to source, screen, and interview candidates effectively, build strong relationships with both job seekers and hiring managers, and read the job market to make successful placements. You'll also develop skills that many don't associate with recruitment: sales and negotiation to match candidates to the right opportunities, the legal and ethical foundations that keep hiring fair and compliant, and the data and recruitment-software skills that keep the whole process running smoothly.

A day in the life can involve:

• Identifying and contacting potential job candidates
• Scheduling and conducting candidate interviews and assessments
• Liaising with hiring managers to understand their hiring needs
• Matching candidates to suitable job openings
• Guiding and advising candidates throughout the recruitment process
• Maintaining accurate candidate records and managing databases
• Keeping up to date with industry trends and job-market developments
• Maintaining and analysing hiring data points to spot trends

We're looking for someone with a natural curiosity about recruitment who's eager to understand the industry and play a pivotal role in talent acquisition. You'll bring meticulous attention to detail and take pride in delivering high-quality, accurate work. Because the role moves quickly, you'll need to adapt fast, prioritise effectively, and stay agile when demands shift. And you'll enjoy working as part of a team, bringing a service-oriented mindset and a commitment to giving every customer an exceptional experience.

Here at Amazon, it's in our nature to learn and be curious. Within this apprenticeship, you'll learn by doing, putting newfound knowledge into practice every day. Our first-class coaching, tailored development opportunities, and rewarding work will empower you to reach new heights. If you're a curious learner eager to grow, this is your chance to unlock your full potential and build the future you envision.

We value different perspectives and experiences, and we're dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Our employee-led affinity groups — including communities for women in tech, LGBTQ+ employees, and underrepresented minorities — foster a culture of inclusion that empowers us to be proud of our differences. These groups provide community, mentorship, and a platform for your voice to be heard. We're committed to building a workforce that reflects the customers and communities we serve.

We're continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth's Best Employer. That's why you'll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship, and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.

Your career isn't a straight path - it's a journey you build as you go. A universe of opportunity awaits, and your next adventure starts here.

• An apprenticeship includes regular training with a college or other training organisation
• Off-the-job training will follow the time allocations outlined in the Occupational Standard.

Alongside extensive development of your technical skills, you will also grow your abilities in crucial complementary areas like organisation, prioritisation, data and problem-solving techniques, teamwork, communication, and presentation skills.

Once you have successfully completed you will be able to apply for relevant roles across the business.

This position will be based in a Corporate Office. We advise you to submit your application as soon as possible, as the roles will close once filled. We will be holding online assessments from November through to February, with assessment centres taking place between February and May.

Amazon offers a range of opportunities to suit candidates with different backgrounds, qualifications and career aspirations. That is why we believe it is the perfect place to learn new skills. We believe that building a culture that is welcoming and inclusive is integral to people doing their best work and is essential to what we can achieve as a company. We take steps to ensure our colleagues have a sense of belonging, value, and opportunity.
