Every rung, published
Progression is based on readiness and performance, not time served or waiting for a vacancy. Our transparent career pathways are no secret to our Consultants, they know exactly what they need to do to progress to the next level, all supported through our internal training programmes.
Careers can take different paths. Some step into people management; some continue recruiting, aiming to deepen their expertise and improve their performance.
Market-leading banded commission that climbs with seniority, no cap, no small print.
Two international holidays per year, and every Consultant can qualify. Hit your personal target and you're on the plane.
Monthly lunch & afternoon out of the office for hitting your personal placement target.
A day out with a difference to celebrate key milestones, promotions and anniversaries marked properly.
Start your weekend early by hitting collective & individual targets.
Christmas parties, half yearly and year end parties.
This year is all about converting the knowledge gained in the Academy into practical skill. This skill, combined with your determination and hard work, will start to generate your first results, your first placements, your first commission cheques, and building your self-confidence in your ability to deliver value to the market. On-target earnings close to double your salary.
This is where you start combining your knowledge, skill and hard work with hard-earnt experience. Your network and relationships with candidates and clients begin to accelerate, and so do your results and your earning potential. You're no longer learning the ropes, you're climbing them. On-target earnings: comfortably double your salary.
Your expertise compounds, and it's quantifiable. Within year three, many Oyster Consultants are earning 2.5 to 3 times their salary in commission. Many of our managers also start to make their first steps into leadership in year 3. You're making impact and money, and changing your life in the process.
By now, you've not just earned a lot of money, you've built a career that commands respect, both internally and externally. Doors start to open, including opportunities to step into leadership and manage teams, or double down on the sales route and aim to break billing and earnings records. While our hope is that you'll take those next steps with Oyster, the reality is your profile will be coveted by any recruitment business on the planet.
