My hard work wasn’t reflected in my pay, and I couldn’t see a clear career path ahead, so I gave recruitment a go. Highfield offered something different to other agencies – a smaller team, more flexibility, and a culture where individual achievements are rewarded. I worked hard and made my first placement within a month, and was promoted soon after I passed my probation. 12 months later I won the award for Largest Weekly Margin Growth and am one of the top billers in the company.” Benny Read If you want to learn fast, push yourself, and build a career with real earning potential – this is the place to do it. **Ready to take the next step?** Apply today or contact Elle Jones for a chat about this recruitment role.
