- Highly competitive salary of £36,000 to 42,000 d.o.e.

Listening to our colleagues and letting everyone share their ideas is also extremely important. We offer a supportive and collaborative team culture and are always open-minded to new concepts and suggestions for the business, allowing everyone’s creative juices to flow.
What you’ll be doing (AKA: why you’ll never be bored):
As a Principal Recruitment Consultant, you’ll play a key role in steering the success of your division and shaping our next generation of consultants. You should love:

What you’ll bring to the party:
Commercial? Industrial? Hospitality? Something entirely different? If you’ve got the recruitment chops, we’re open-minded—and we mean that. You might be a seasoned consultant who gets a buzz from seeing others smash their goals, or a natural mentor who wants to shape consultants into absolute stars, or someone who loves running their own high-performing desk like a mini business. Either way, we’ll back you in the direction you want to grow.
To be considered, we are ideally looking for the following recruitment experience:
- 3+ years of proven recruitment consultancy success
- Deep market insight in your specialist areas
- Real relationship-building power (clients trust you, candidates love you)
