We are looking for an inquisitive and commercially minded individual to join our specialist Contract & Interim desk as a Market Researcher.
Contract and interim hiring moves quickly and demands sharp, well-targeted research.
In this role you will be at the centre of that process — identifying and engaging specialist talent across contract and interim markets, building deep sector knowledge, and contributing directly to the quality of candidate pipelines we present to clients.

- Minimum of one year in an office or professional environment where pace, accuracy, and relationship management were important.
- Strong research skills and a methodical approach — comfortable working with databases, tracking pipelines, and managing a high volume of information.
- Commercially aware with an interest in workforce trends, talent supply, and market dynamics.
- Excellent communication skills — able to build rapport quickly and engage credibly with experienced professionals.
- Highly organised, self-motivated, and able to manage competing priorities in a fast-moving environment.
- Motivated to build expertise and progress within a specialist contract and interim recruitment desk.
- Core Responsibilities
- Research and map contractor and interim talent pools across finance, professional services, and related markets.
