Summary

Senior Recruitment Consultant

Financial Services | Legal | Accountancy & Finance | Sales & Trading | Quant Markets


(Open to experienced consultants from Life Sciences, Tech or other professional sectors)

This opportunity is for established 360° Recruitment Consultants who want to work in a high-trust, high-performance environment, recruiting into senior, professional markets with strong fees, credible clients and genuine progression.

This is not a volume-led agency role.
It’s for consultants who value quality, autonomy and long-term client relationships.

The Role

You’ll operate as a full 360° consultant, owning and growing your desk with full autonomy and commercial responsibility.

Key responsibilities include:

Managing and developing existing client relationships across professional markets

Business development into new, strategically aligned accounts

End-to-end recruitment delivery across mid-to-senior level roles

Client and candidate mapping to identify long-term opportunities

Meeting clients and candidates (UK-based, with international exposure available)

Proactively sourcing and securing new vacancies

Upholding company values and contributing positively to a collaborative team culture

Supporting, mentoring and eventually hiring junior consultants as your desk grows

About You

This role will suit a consultant who is:

An experienced 360° Recruiter (minimum 2 years) from any recruitment sector

A proven biller with confidence working directly with clients

Commercially astute and comfortable developing new business

Organised, deadline-driven and performance-focused

Self-motivated, professional and credible at senior level

A team player who enjoys working in a high-quality, adult environment

(Sector knowledge is beneficial but not essential — strong recruitment fundamentals matter more.)

What’s on Offer

Competitive basic salary:

Market-leading commission:

Clear, fast-track progression to Principal / Management

Cycle to work & tech schemes

Casual office dress code

Open-door leadership style — no micromanagement

Diverse, friendly and professional working environment

U.S. secondment opportunities

Monthly & quarterly team and social events

Why This Role Stands Out

High-quality markets and respected client base

Strong fees and meaningful mandates

Autonomy to run your desk like a business

Clear route into leadership without politics

International exposure for those who want it
