Self-employed opportunity for experienced recruiters | Remote, home-based. TPJ Recruit is expanding and seeking motivated, results-driven New Business Recruitment Consultants to join our growing team. This is a self-employed opportunity for an experienced recruiter who can win new clients, build lasting relationships and deliver permanent recruitment placements across Logistics, Transport and Driving, or other sectors where you can demonstrate strong success.

You will manage the full 360 recruitment process, from securing new business and understanding client requirements through to sourcing, screening, interviewing and placing candidates. You will be expected to develop a deep understanding of each client's business, identify opportunities and maintain excellent service standards throughout the recruitment cycle. This role is best suited to a disciplined, commercially focused recruiter who is confident working independently from home, can generate new business consistently and wants the flexibility and earning potential of a self-employed model.

Job details

• Location: Remote, home-based
• Engagement type: Self-employed for the first 6 months of service
• Commission: 50% of everything you bill during the self-employed period
• Sector focus: Logistics, Transport and Driver etc; Successful new-business winners with permanent placements from other sectors will be welcomed

What we offer

We offer experienced new business recruitment consultants the opportunity to retain a higher percentage of their billings than in a traditional employed recruitment role. During the initial self-employed period, you earn 50% of everything you bill.

How it works

For example, if your current employed recruiter role pays £30,000 basic salary plus 10% commission, billing £100,000 per year would generate approximately £40,000 in annual earnings. By contrast, billing £100,000 per year with TPJ Recruit on a 50% commission basis would generate approximately £50,000 in annual earnings, giving you a clear opportunity to increase your income while building something for yourself.

Work in any permanent recruitment sector where you have proven experience, strong market knowledge and the confidence to generate new business. Join a business that values experienced, driven recruiters who can demonstrate a professional, disciplined and success-fuelled work ethic. Focus on winning clients and making placements while we support back-office administration, including payroll and invoice chasing.

Flexibility to suit your lifestyle

As a self-employed consultant, you can choose your own hours and work from home. This opportunity is ideal for someone who values flexibility, can stay productive without daily office supervision and is motivated by uncapped earning potential. Earnings: Uncapped and directly linked to your dedication, activity and billing performance.
