Senior/Principal Recruitment Consultant in Chelmsford

Ohana Legal Recruitment was founded with a different mindset. We are a specialist legal recruitment business with established relationships across the UK legal market, a substantial candidate database and a reputation built on honesty, quality and long-term partnerships. We are growing steadily and are now looking to bring in an experienced Principal Consultant who wants more than just another recruitment job.

This is not a corporate environment. There are no daily call targets. No micromanagement. No pointless meetings. No layers of management. Just the opportunity to build something meaningful alongside an ambitious founder with a genuine long-term vision.

Who This Opportunity Is For

• Has several years of recruitment experience.
• Is confident in their ability.
• Values autonomy and flexibility.
• Is tired of corporate politics.
• Understands that relationships matter more than activity metrics.
• Wants to benefit directly from their success.
• Is entrepreneurial and prepared to back themselves.

Whether you are already billing strongly, returning to recruitment after a break, or simply looking for a platform where your efforts are rewarded properly, we would be interested in speaking.

What We Offer

• Self-employed model with a highly competitive fee share.
• Genuine flexibility and autonomy.
• Access to established infrastructure and systems.
• Existing relationships and a substantial database.
• A respected and growing brand.
• Long-term support rather than micromanagement.
• The opportunity to help shape the future of the business.

Earnings

There is no ceiling. The model is designed for experienced recruiters who are prepared to back themselves. Those with the drive, consistency and relationship-building ability to produce strong billings will benefit directly from their results. This is not a role where income is capped by salary bands or internal politics.

Future Progression

The intention is not simply to recruit consultants. The intention is to build leaders. For the right individual, there is a genuine pathway towards:

• Senior Principal Consultant.
• Associate Director.
• Building and leading a team.
• Helping shape the direction and growth of the business.
• Potential long-term equity discussions.

We are looking for someone who wants to build with us, not simply work for us.
