We are growing our Professional Services Search team and looking for a Recruitment Consultant to join us at an exciting stage of our journey.

This role is ideal for an experienced agency recruiter who wants to move into a more search-focused environment, working on senior-level roles with salaries typically exceeding £100k.

Our work sits firmly at the quality end of the market, where success comes from insight, credibility and relationships - not volume.

You'll work closely with experienced consultants who are deeply embedded in their markets, gaining first-hand exposure to high-value assignments and long-term client relationships from day one.

This teams focuses on very senior appointments where they take a search-led approach to recruitment. The initial focus on market mapping, research and candidate engagement is intentional - it allows you to:

• Build genuine expertise in a specialist market

• Develop strong relationships with senior professionals

• Learn how to deliver complex, high-value recruitment processes

• Operate in a way that mirrors retained and executive search

This foundation sets you up to become a high-performing 360 consultant, confident at the senior end of the market.

The Role

• Proactively engaging candidates for £100k+ salary roles

• Conducting detailed candidate conversations and assessments

• Working closely with senior consultants on client strategy

Alongside the search element, you'll also gain early and ongoing client exposure, including:

• Sitting in on client briefings and meetings

• Supporting client communications and delivery

• Gradually taking on client responsibility as you progress

Over time, the role naturally evolves into a balanced 360 recruitment position.

• Wants to move into higher-value, search-led recruitment
