The Opportunity:

Vickerstock are continuing to grow our Engineering and Manufacturing division and are seeking an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join our highly successful technical recruitment team. This is not a cold desk build from scratch. The successful candidate will join an exceptionally warm and well-established recruitment desk with existing client relationships, active vacancies, repeat business, and strong long-term sector partnerships already in place.

We are particularly interested in speaking with recruiters who enjoy building relationships, developing long-term partnerships, and operating in a more consultative and professional recruitment environment rather than purely KPI-driven transactional recruitment. The role would particularly suit recruiters coming from:

• Technical recruitment
• Engineering recruitment
• Manufacturing recruitment
• Industrial recruitment
• Construction or white-collar recruitment
• Professional services recruitment

The Role:

• Manage and develop existing client relationships across the engineering and manufacturing sector
• Work closely with clients to understand hiring requirements and recruitment strategies
• Source and manage engineering and technical candidates across multiple disciplines
• Develop new business opportunities across Northern Ireland and border counties
• Build long-term relationships with both clients and candidates
• Use LinkedIn, networking, referrals, and social selling techniques to grow your market presence
• Manage the recruitment process from initial engagement through to successful placement

Essential Criteria:

• Previous Recruitment Consultancy experience
• Experience within agency recruitment environments
• Strong communication and relationship-building capability
• Good organisational and commercial awareness
• Motivated, professional, and self-driven approach
• Ability to manage multiple priorities within a fast-moving environment
• Experience within Engineering, Manufacturing, Technical, Construction, Industrial, or Professional Services recruitment would be particularly beneficial.

• Deep existing market penetration
• Strong repeat client relationships
• Excellent recruitment infrastructure and support
• Long-term progression potential
• A highly collaborative and adult working environment

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious recruiter looking to further develop their career, personal brand, earnings, and long-term market reputation within a highly respected specialist recruitment business.
