Recruitment Resourcer / Delivery Consultant Predominantly Remote

Salary in the £30,000s depending on experience + placement & extension commission

Predominantly remote | North West

We're looking for a Recruitment Resourcer / Delivery Consultant to join our Resource Delivery team at Essential Consulting. We specialise predominantly in contract recruitment and consulting within banking and financial services, mainly supporting large, well-known banking clients. Our requirements span technology, transformation, project/change and risk/regulatory programmes. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the delivery side of recruitment and wants plenty of autonomy and flexibility, without the pressure of a traditional 360/new business recruitment role.

Key Responsibilities

Our Business Development team brings requirements into the business, so you won't be expected to cold call for vacancies or have a personal BD target. Your role is to understand the brief and then take ownership of recruitment delivery and the candidate journey, including:

• Proactively sourcing candidates through LinkedIn, job boards, our existing network and other channels
• Understanding sometimes complex or niche requirements and working out how best to resource them
• Speaking to and properly qualifying experienced contract candidates
• Building strong candidate relationships, networks and talent pools
• Managing candidates throughout interview, offer, screening and onboarding
• Keeping candidates engaged and proactively helping to resolve anything that could delay their start
• Maintaining accurate and detailed records within our ATS
• Working with client systems and processes such as SAP Fieldglass and screening/onboarding portals
• Continuing to look after consultants once they're working with our clients
• Spotting useful market intelligence or potential leads through candidate conversations and feeding these back to our BD team

You'll recruit across a broad range of roles including Project Managers, Programme Managers, Business Analysts, PMO, technology/change and risk/regulatory professionals, alongside occasional more specialist requirements such as engineers, quants and modellers.

Key Requirements

Please only apply if you have previous recruitment/resourcing experience and have personally been responsible for proactively sourcing and qualifying candidates. We're particularly interested in someone who:

• Has previous experience as a Resourcer, Delivery Consultant, Recruitment Consultant or similar
• Has strong hands-on candidate sourcing experience – this is essential
• Can understand a role brief and independently work out how to find the right candidates
• Is comfortable speaking to and qualifying experienced professional candidates
• Takes genuine ownership of their candidates rather than seeing the job as simply finding and submitting CVs
• Has excellent attention to detail and is comfortable working with ATS/client systems and processes
• Is proactive, organised and able to manage their own workload in a predominantly remote environment
• Communicates confidently and professionally
• Enjoys building longer-term candidate relationships and networks

Previous contract recruitment experience would be particularly useful, as would experience within financial services, technology, transformation/change or another professional recruitment market. Experience of SAP Fieldglass or other VMS/MSP environments would also be advantageous, but isn't essential. This isn't a 360 sales role and there is no personal BD target. We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys recruitment delivery, sourcing and candidate management.

Working with Essential Consulting

We work predominantly remotely, with a base in Macclesfield. We generally meet there around once a week, although we're pragmatic about frequency for people who live further away. We work broadly normal business hours of 9am-5.30pm, but operate a grown-up, flexible environment that allows for some flexibility providing this does not affect output. We're looking at a basic salary in the £30,000s depending on level of experience. On top of basic salary, we offer a strong commission structure: £600-£850 for each successful placement, depending on margin; £350-£500 for each six-month consultant extension, depending on margin; additional commission opportunities for successful business leads. This would be a suitable opportunity for someone who enjoys recruitment but wants more flexibility, autonomy and ownership without having to build a 360 sales desk.
