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.
- 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:
- Several years’ recruitment experience
- Proven track record in billing and client development
- Confidence in managing the full recruitment lifecycle
- 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:
