We’re looking for a Senior Recruiter to own a specialist market through our 360 recruitment model. This is a commercially driven role where you’ll be responsible for winning new business, delivering recruitment assignments and growing your own Gross Profit performance.

Why This Role Matters

The 360 desk is responsible for generating revenue and delivering talent within its own specialist market. You’ll develop client relationships, convert opportunities into live vacancies, personally recruit for those vacancies and build long-term partnerships with both clients and contractors. You’ll be accountable for your own Gross Profit performance, client portfolio, recruitment delivery and competency assessments.

The Opportunity

Approximately 70% of this role focuses on Business Development and 30% on Recruitment Delivery. You’ll own both sides of the desk, giving you complete responsibility for building your market, managing client relationships and delivering high-quality technical professionals.

What You’ll Own

• Deliver your Gross Profit target and commercial and delivery KPIs in line with the 360 Competency & Progression Matrix.
• Develop new client relationships through outbound business development, networking, LinkedIn, referrals and market intelligence while growing existing client accounts.
• Convert Marketing, Sales Activation & Redeployment and referral leads into live vacancies, completing detailed vacancy qualification before sourcing begins.
• Own the full recruitment lifecycle by sourcing, qualifying, competency assessing and delivering candidates across every vacancy you manage.
• Build and maintain specialist talent pools within your market, using proactive sourcing, referrals, networking and direct approaches to support current and future hiring demand.
• Partner with the Delivery Team for additional sourcing support and work with Sales Activation & Redeployment to maximise contractor redeployment opportunities.
• Manage interviews, candidate and client communication, and recruitment outcomes through to successful placement.
• Maintain market intelligence, salary benchmarking and hiring trends within your specialist discipline to position yourself as the recognised subject matter expert.
• Maintain accurate, same-day CRM records across all client, candidate, vacancy and placement activity.

• Deliver your Gross Profit and pipeline targets.
• Build a diverse client portfolio while managing client concentration.
• Convert new business activity into long-term client relationships.
• Deliver qualified candidates quickly without compromising competency standards.
• Build engaged talent pools that support both live vacancies and future hiring demand.
• Maintain accurate CRM records that support forecasting, reporting and business performance.
• Become the recognised subject matter expert within your specialist market.

• Proven experience developing new client relationships through outbound business development.
• Experience managing the full recruitment process from vacancy qualification through to placement.
• Experience sourcing, interviewing and competency assessing candidates.
• Experience managing your own client portfolio, pipeline and Gross Profit performance.
