A executive search consultancy is expanding its public sector team and is looking for an experienced recruiter ready to step into senior, high-impact search work across government and public sector markets.
This is a chance to operate at leadership level, partnering with public sector organisations on retained and exclusive assignments. Every mandate runs through a formal, compliant route to market, and the environment is built around quality, discretion and long-term relationships.
The company
? Every assignment is retained or exclusive.
? Structured, evidence-based selection methodology: standardised scoring, multiple assessors and bias-awareness training as standard.
? Appointments centre on strategic influence and national impact, not transactional volume hiring.
? Dedicated research support behind every consultant, with cross-trained cover across the team.
? A genuine track record of promoting from within. Several of today's team leaders started in junior or research-support roles.
The role
? Leading retained and exclusive search assignments across public sector markets.
? Advising clients on senior and leadership-level hiring.
? Proactively identifying and engaging senior, often passive, talent.
? Managing the full search lifecycle with a structured, consultative, insight-led approach.
? Building deep sector knowledge and long-term client relationships.
Who this would suit
? Recruiters with experience in public sector, executive search, or senior/leadership-level search.
? Individuals who enjoy senior-level conversations and a research-driven, strategic approach.
? Consultants who prefer high-value, low-volume work over transactional recruitment.
? Ambitious, credible communicators who want to elevate their market and earning potential.
What's on offer
? £50,000 basic salary plus a commission structure.
? Structured coaching, mentoring and personalised development plans.
? Clear internal progression routes, with a strong history of promoting from within.
? A collaborative culture that invests in long-term development, not just short-term numbers.
? Exposure to senior stakeholders and high-impact assignments at national level.
? A London base with an established, well-regarded name in this market. xohmjla
