We’re hiring a Recruitment Consultant to join our team. You could be working industrial, commercial, or a mix depending on where you’re strongest.
Base salary up to £37k. Uncapped commission with no ceiling. 08:30–17:30 Monday to Thursday (we usually get out early on a Friday). Warm desk available.
Non-negotiables:- You’ll be based full-time in our NN1 Northampton office.
- You need to be able to drive.
- This is a phone based role.
- This is an outbound sales job primarily.
- You’re a good person and willing to get on with others.
- If you don’t like speaking to people, it won’t work.
You’ll spend a good part of your day on the phone to clients and candidates, understanding what businesses actually need, finding the right people, and managing the process so things don’t drift or fall apart. No hiding behind emails. No firing out CVs and hoping for the best. If you’re good on the phone and you like building relationships, this is where you earn. The commission is uncapped. There’s no ceiling.
Realistically:- Year 1 around £45k
- Year 2 around £55k
- Year 3 £65k+
If you’ve got experience and know what you’re doing, you’ll move quicker than that. You’ll also have the tools behind you:
- Market-leading CRM
- Full tech stack for sourcing and managing candidates
- Systems that support you rather than slow you down
You won’t be fighting with spreadsheets or outdated systems.
The role:- Managing your own desk within industrial or commercial recruitment
- Business development on the phone and face to face
- Sourcing candidates thoroughly, not just job board farming
- Screening, interviewing and referencing before submission
- Keeping control of the whole process through to offer
Relaxed, but people work. No suits. No daft rules. We don’t do things like “10 before 10” or “make 60 calls before you can have a brew”. If you need that, this probably isn’t the place. You’re trusted to get on with it, build your desk, and look after your clients properly.
What we’re looking for:- Confident on the phone
- Recruitment experience helps, but attitude matters more
- Organised enough to run multiple roles without dropping standards
- Straightforward and able to build trust quickly
- Resilient when things don’t go your way
If you back yourself and want a role where your effort actually turns into earnings, you’ll do well here. If not, you won’t.
