The Opportunity Are you a Recruitment Consultant with up to one year of experience looking to take the next step in your career and move into white-collar recruitment?
We are working with a highly established specialist search firm operating across international technology, data, finance and financial markets. The business works with some of the most specialist and sought-after professionals across global markets and has built a strong reputation through a research-led, relationship-driven approach.
They are now looking for an ambitious Recruitment Consultant to join their London team and develop within a specialist white-collar market.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has gained their initial recruitment experience and is now looking for better training, a more specialist market and greater long-term earning and progression potential.

Building and maintaining strong candidate relationships
Understanding candidate motivations, experience and career aspirations
Developing new and existing client relationships
Business development and generating new opportunities
Managing the recruitment process from initial approach through to offer and placement
