IT Recruitment Consultant

Location: Central London (hybrid working options available)

Salary: Competitive base salary + uncapped commission (OTE £50k+ in year 1, depending on experience)

Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent

About Us

We are a boutique recruitment agency based in the heart of London, specialising in placing top IT talent with innovative companies across the UK. As a small, dynamic team, we pride ourselves on building long term relationships with clients and candidates, delivering personalised service, and achieving outstanding results in a fast paced market. We're growing steadily and looking for an experienced consultant to join us and make an immediate impact.

The Role

This is a full 360 degree recruitment position where you'll manage the end to end process: from winning new business and developing client relationships to sourcing, resourcing, and placing high calibre IT professionals.

Key Responsibilities
  • Proactively identifying and winning new clients through business development activities (cold calling, networking, LinkedIn outreach, and attending industry events).
  • Building and maintaining strong relationships with existing clients to understand their hiring needs and secure repeat business.
  • Managing the full recruitment lifecycle: writing job adverts, sourcing candidates via job boards, databases, social media, and headhunting.
  • Screening, interviewing, and qualifying candidates to ensure the best fit for client requirements.
  • Negotiating offers, managing the placement process, and providing ongoing support to both clients and candidates.
  • Achieving and exceeding personal billing targets while contributing to team growth.
About You

We're seeking a driven and results oriented individual with a proven background in recruitment.

Essential Requirements
  • Minimum of 2 years' experience in recruitment, ideally within the IT/tech sector (e.g., software development, cybersecurity, data, cloud, or infrastructure roles).
  • Demonstrable track record in resourcing/top talent sourcing and business development (winning new clients and generating revenue).
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport quickly.
  • Ambitious, resilient, and target driven mindset - thriving in a commission based environment.
  • Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple roles simultaneously.
Desirable
  • Experience in contract or permanent IT placements.
  • Existing network within the UK IT market.
What We Offer
  • Uncapped commission structure with high earning potential.
  • Supportive, collaborative team environment in a small agency (no micro management, more autonomy).
  • Opportunities for rapid progression as the agency grows.
  • Hybrid working (3 4 days in the office).
  • Regular incentives, team socials, and a focus on work life balance.
