Founded in 2021, Elvet Recruitment is a specialist consultancy serving the construction and built environment sectors across the North of England. With a strong foundation, a growing reputation, and ambitious expansion plans, we are now looking for a driven Recruitment Consultant to join us at our newly refurbished office in Mandale Business Park, just outside Durham City Centre.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a business at the perfect time – established enough to offer stability, but young enough that your impact will genuinely shape our future. You won’t be just another number – you’ll be a key part of a small, ambitious team where your contribution genuinely matters.
The Role
As a Recruitment Consultant, you will run a full 360° desk, recruiting white‑collar permanent staff into an active and well‑established client base within the construction industry. You’ll have the autonomy to build your own desk, backed by a supportive team, modern systems, and a leadership style that trusts you to deliver.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop deep market knowledge across clients, projects, and roles
- Maintain and grow relationships with existing clients
- Conduct business development to win new opportunities
- Source, screen, and consult candidates throughout the recruitment process
- Manage your own workload and time effectively
- Network to become a recognised expert in your sector
Candidate Profile
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds – whether you’re new to recruitment or an experienced consultant. What matters most is your ambition, resilience, and drive to succeed. Experience in telesales or a sales environment is advantageous, but not essential.
If you’re competitive, motivated, and want a career where your effort directly impacts your earnings and progression, you’ll thrive here. If you want a role where you can build something, earn well, and progress quickly, this is the opportunity.
Why Join Elvet?
- Clear Career Progression

- Realistic OTE of £40,000+ in year one
- High performers earning significantly more as their desk grows
- Annual Golden Envelope Bonus of £2,500–£10,000
Culture & Environment
- Positive, supportive team with no micro‑management
- No rigid KPIs – we focus on outcomes, not box‑ticking
- Newly refurbished office with modern systems and tools
- Early Friday finishes, team meals, and regular incentives
Growth Phase Advantage
- Join at a pivotal time where progression is faster
