Senior/Principal Recruitment Consultant - Technology
Location – City of London, HQ
Start Date – Summer 2026
You've done the hard part. You got through your first role in recruitment, learned the ropes, took the knocks and started landing your own deals. Now it feels like you've hit a ceiling - development's stalled, progression's slow and the desk that once felt exciting just feels capped.
Here at Empiric, we're a multi award-winning specialist Technology recruitment consultancy, with a global footprint across Europe and the US. Over 20 years, we've built a reputation as a genuine market leader - named a Sunday Times Top 100 Company and ranked the #1 Best Mid-Sized Company to Work For.
We're now looking to hire Senior and Principal level consultants who are ready to kick on - people who want to build something longer-term and take their career to new heights.
Why Make the Move as a Senior/Principal Recruitment Consultant - Technology:
- Industry-leading earning potential: Strong base (DOE) + uncapped commission - built for consultants who already know what billing feels like and want more of it
- A platform, not just a desk: Best-in-industry tech stack, 40+ countries of reach, and warm relationships with leading global brands from day one
- Faster progression: Never more than 6 months away from your next promotion
- Specialist market knowledge: Work in niche tech markets where the team genuinely understands the technology, not just the job titles
- Culture that matches the hustle: Office bar, DJ booth, golf & F1 simulator, plus company trips (skiing, Mexico), Michelin-star dining and major sporting events
- Flexible working: Hybrid setup, early finishes, and real wellbeing support - sustainable performance, not burnout
- L&D that builds on what you know: Our in-house L&D team won't start you from scratch - they'll sharpen what you've already learned and fill the gaps
The Role as a Senior/Principal Recruitment Consultant - Technology:
A true 360 role where you'll take what you've already learned about winning clients and placing candidates, and apply it at a higher level - bigger accounts, better infrastructure, and a brand that opens doors your current one might not.
- Business Development: Build on your existing BD instincts to win new clients in tech and transformation
- Candidate Engagement: Source, qualify and place specialist tech talent into high-impact roles
- Relationship Building: Turn early-career contacts into long-term client and candidate partnerships
