Careers at Digital Waffle.
If you want to bill well, build a strong desk and see it reflected in what you earn and how you progress, you’ll fit in here. Whether you’re already working in recruitment or thinking about your next move, this is a place where consistency leads to results.
Overview
A career built on performance and progression.
Recruitment is a high-earning, fast-moving career when you're in the right environment. The difference is having clear expectations, the right support and a team that's focused on performance, not just activity.
We focus on helping people become consistent. That means learning how to manage a desk properly, improving over time and turning effort into results you can see in your earnings and progression.
Whether you're starting out or already billing, the focus is the same. Build momentum, stay consistent and develop into a strong performer. If you're looking for a career where what you put in directly impacts what you get out, you'll feel at home here.
Our environment
A team built around performance.
We're not corporate. If you want to wear a suit every day and sit in a rigid environment, this won't be for you. What we do offer is a strong team, a genuinely enjoyable working environment and a culture built around people who want to do well.
It's a place where people work hard, support each other and are motivated by building something long term and earning well as a result.
There's a social side, but everyone understands the goal. Perform consistently, improve over time and be part of a team that's moving in the same direction.
Commission structure
Earnings that reflect what you bill.
If you're billing, you should see it reflected properly in what you earn. We offer a 20% commission structure designed to reward consistent performance. It's simple, transparent and built around people who want to build a strong, sustainable desk rather than rely on one-off deals.
For new starters, there's a clear runway to get up and running before performance expectations fully apply. From there, your earnings are driven by what you bill and how consistently you perform.
We'll always talk you through the details, but the principle is straightforward. Perform well, bill consistently and you'll earn well.
Progression
Clear progression as you develop.
You should always know what you’re working towards. We have a structured progression path with clear expectations at each level. Progression is based on performance and consistency, not just time in the role. Typical progression includes:
Build the foundations of your recruitment career by developing your market knowledge, candidate network and client relationships while learning how to manage the full recruitment process.
Take greater ownership of your desk, build stronger client partnerships and deliver consistently against your targets while supporting less experienced consultants around you.
Step into a more influential role, combining strong personal performance with mentoring, team support and greater involvement in developing client accounts and your market.
Operate as a senior specialist within the business, leading key client relationships, driving growth in your market and helping shape best practice across the wider team.
Our environment
High performance comes with real rewards.
If you’re performing well, it should show beyond your commission. We run regular incentives tied to output and consistency, giving top performers the chance to step away from the desk and enjoy what they’ve built.
Recent trips have included Amsterdam, Barcelona, Dubai and Las Vegas, alongside quarterly incentives and team-based rewards throughout the year.
