Sales Minded? Competitive? A Natural Problem Solver with a Sense of Urgency?

If you're someone who thrives on winning business, building relationships and making things happen, this could be the perfect opportunity.

We're looking for a driven, ambitious, and commercially minded Recruitment Consultant to join our successful team. You don't need recruitment experience to succeed. What matters is your ability to influence people, spot opportunities, solve problems and take action quickly.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of an established desk, an existing client base, and significant growth potential. You'll have the autonomy to develop your market, build long-term partnerships, and create a desk that reflects your ambition.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Winning new business and developing relationships with key decision-makers.

  • Managing and growing an established candidate and client portfolio.

  • Identifying opportunities and turning them into revenue.

  • Acting as a trusted advisor to both candidates and clients, helping them solve challenges.

  • Working with pace and urgency to deliver solutions in fast-moving situations.

  • Negotiating deals and managing the recruitment process from start to finish.

  • Building a strong pipeline of clients and candidates to maximise performance.

What's In It For You?

Uncapped commission and excellent earning potential.

Industry-leading training and ongoing development.

Clear career progression with genuine opportunities to advance.

A supportive, high-performance culture where success is recognised and rewarded.

The freedom and autonomy to build your own personal brand.

Who We're Looking For

  • Proven experience in sales, business development, or another target-driven environment.

  • A natural communicator who enjoys building relationships and influencing others.

  • Strong commercial awareness with the ability to identify and capitalise on opportunities.

  • A proactive problem solver who enjoys overcoming challenges and finding solutions for clients.

  • Someone with a strong sense of urgency who can work at pace, prioritise effectively, and respond quickly to opportunities.

  • Competitive, ambitious, and hungry for success.

Why Recruitment?

Recruitment is one of the few careers where your effort directly impacts your earnings, progression, and success. It's a fast-paced environment where problem solving, relationship building and commercial thinking are rewarded every day.

If you're motivated by targets, enjoy overcoming challenges and have the drive to turn opportunities into results, we'll provide the platform, support, and tools to help you build an exceptional career.

Bring the ambition, energy, problem-solving mindset, and sense of urgency. We'll provide the opportunity.
