Job Description

Recruitment Consultant / Senior Recruitment Consultant

Reports to: Head of Practice

The Opportunity:

We're growing - fast. And we're hiring ambitious individuals to join us as either a Recruitment Consultant or Senior Recruitment Consultant across three of our expanding divisions.

Whether you're an experienced recruiter ready to take ownership and drive revenue, or you're coming from a sales or business development background and want to break into recruitment, this is your opportunity to build a successful, high-performing career. As a Senior Recruitment Consultant, you'll bring proven recruitment experience, confidence in winning and managing clients, and the ability to deliver consistently while mentoring others. As a Recruitment Consultant, you don't need recruitment experience - but you do need the drive to succeed, strong communication skills, and a background in sales, business development, or a similar commercial environment. You'll work in a supportive but performance-driven environment, with real autonomy and clear progression.

What You'll Be Doing:

Own the candidate market

Source, engage and build relationships with high-quality candidates through multiple channels including LinkedIn, referrals and direct outreach. Understand what drives them and match them to the right opportunities.

Deliver on permanent roles

Manage the end-to-end recruitment process - from shortlisting and interviews through to offer and placement - ensuring a smooth, professional experience.

Build strong client relationships

Partner with clients to understand their hiring needs and become a trusted advisor through consistent, high-quality delivery.

Drive business growth

Contribute to business development through networking, market insight, candidate-led opportunities and social selling - with greater ownership as you progress.

Create a standout candidate experience

Keep candidates engaged, informed and supported throughout the process.

Manage offers & negotiations

Support and guide candidates through offers, managing expectations around salary, benefits and start dates.

Maintain quality & compliance

Ensure all processes are followed accurately, keeping systems up to date and compliant.

What Success Looks Like

  • Consistent contribution to placements and revenue
  • A strong, growing network of candidates
  • Positive feedback from both clients and candidates
  • Increasing ownership of clients and recruitment processes

What We're Looking For:

For Senior Recruitment Consultant level:

  • Several years' recruitment experience
  • Proven track record in billing and client development
  • Confidence in managing the full recruitment lifecycle

For Recruitment Consultant level:

  • Background in sales, business development, account management or similar
  • Strong communication and influencing skills
  • High levels of motivation, resilience and ambition

For both:

  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, target-driven environment
  • Strong organisation and time management
  • Commercial awareness and curiosity
  • A proactive, results-focused mindset

The Package:

  • Competitive base salary
  • Uncapped commission structure
  • Hybrid working
  • Gym membership & healthcare plans
  • Clear, fast-track career progression

This isn't just another recruitment role - it's a chance to build something, progress quickly, and be rewarded for the results you deliver.
