From Store Manager to Recruitment Consultant? – Fashion & Lifestyle Recruitment Agency

Have you mastered premium retail and feel ready for your next challenge?

If you’re a Store Manager (or Senior Assistant Manager) in premium or luxury fashion, lifestyle, or beauty, you already have the core skills to succeed in recruitment — you just might not realise it yet.

We’re a specialist fashion & lifestyle recruitment agency looking for commercially minded retail leaders who want to transition into a Recruitment Consultant role and build a long-term career beyond the shop floor.

Why recruitment?

Recruitment is still about people, performance, and relationships — but with:
•    No late nights, weekends, or bank holiday trading
•    Uncapped commission that directly rewards your impact
•    Clear progression based on results, not store size or headcount
•    Exposure to the wider fashion & lifestyle industry, not just one brand

Why you?

As a Store Manager, you already:
•    Recruit, coach, and develop high-performing teams
•    Build strong relationships with candidates, clients, and stakeholders
•    Balance commercial targets with people management
•    Thrive in fast-paced, target-driven environments
•    Understand what great talent looks like in premium retail

That’s recruitment — with a different lens.

As a Recruitment Consultant, you will:
•    Partner with premium fashion and lifestyle brands to support their hiring
•    Source, interview, and place top retail and head office talent
•    Build long-term candidate and client relationships
•    Manage the recruitment process end-to-end, like running your own business
•    Be rewarded for results through commission and career progression

Full training is provided — we’ll teach you recruitment. You bring the industry insight, drive, and people skills.

What we’re looking for

•    Experience as a Store Manager / Senior Assistant Manager (premium or luxury)
•    Strong communication and relationship-building skills
•    Commercial mindset and resilience
•    Ambition to grow, earn, and progress
•    Passion for fashion, lifestyle, or consumer brands

What you’ll get

•    Competitive base salary + uncapped commission + your weekends back!
•    Structured training and mentoring from industry specialists
•    Clear career pathway (Consultant → Senior → Manager)
•    A collaborative working culture
•    The chance to stay connected to the industry you love — without the shop floor
