Day 90: You’ve got clients who ONLY want to work with you.
Improve your working life and build a desk that’s unmistakably yours. We’re hiring a Senior Recruitment Consultant to join the Rubicon team and launch & grow a new BD-led desk within the commercial team. It’s a genuine blank canvas: you’ll build your own pipeline, win new clients nationwide, and shape the market you become known for.
Why this Senior Recruitment Consultant role exists: Rubicon’s commercial team is growing, and there’s a clear opportunity to expand into new client bases with permanent recruitment. We are looking for someone who can open doors, build trust quickly, and turn conversations into long-term partnerships.
Rubicon is 100% employee-owned (think John Lewis & Waitrose, but smaller and more personal). That means the effort you put in doesn’t just hit a target, it contributes to shared success and long-term financial wellbeing for the people doing the work.
What’s in it for you:
- £40,000 basic salary, £50,000 OTE
- Autonomy and ownership: build the desk your way
- Nationwide remit: you’re not boxed into one patch
- Clear runway to grow this area and, over time, build a team around you
- Benefits include:
- Free parking at Rubicon’s HQ in Poole
- Early finish Fridays, followed by Friday drinks (first round on Rubicon)
- Quarterly performance-related bonuses
- Holiday sell-back scheme
- Training / external training qualifications with the REC
- 33 days holiday (including BHs) + 1 extra day for your birthday
- Quarterly team socials, regular awards & prizes including ‘Employee of the Month'
- Birthday gift from the company
- Become a part of Rubicon’s 100% employee-owned trust (after 6 months)
- Private medical insurance (after your first year)
What you’ll be doing day-to-day as the Senior Recruitment Consultant:
- Building a new client pipeline through proactive outreach, networking and market mapping
- Winning and managing relationships across a range of sectors focusing on commercial recruitment
- Running a full 360 process: client meetings, role briefs, sourcing, qualifying, shortlisting, offers
- Staying consistent with activity: calls, meetings, follow-ups and momentum
As the Senior Recruitment Consultant you’ll bring:
- Experience in business development
