Experienced Recruitment Consultant - Software Engineering

Level Up Your Recruitment Career: Join La Fosse

Who we are:

At La Fosse, we do things a little differently. We’re an employee-owned talent solutions business that specialises in technology, digital, and change — but at our core, we’re all about people.

Our goal is to create a working world where talent is recognised for what it brings to the table, not where it comes from. That’s why we work with organisations of all sizes to solve people and business challenges — whether that’s helping them find great talent, build long-term capability, or shape future leadership. We do this through our recruitment, academy, solutions, and executive search services.

What really sets us apart? Everyone here has a stake in the business. We’re employee-owned, which means we all have a voice, and we all share in the success we create. That sense of ownership shapes everything — from how we make decisions to how we support each other to grow.

The culture here is ambitious but grounded. We care about doing good work and being good people while we do it. There’s a genuine focus on learning, development, and helping people build careers they’re proud of. You’ll be part of a team that’s collaborative, down-to-earth, and serious about making an impact — but without taking itself too seriously.

If you're looking for a place where you can do meaningful work, progress at pace, and be part of a business that’s growing with purpose — La Fosse is a great place to do it.

The Role:

We’re looking for a Principal Consultant or Billing Manager to join our Software Engineering division, focussing on the front-end development market and play a key role in its continued growth. This is a 360 recruitment role where you’ll be working with both existing clients across the La Fosse network and developing new business opportunities. You’ll partner closely with customers to understand their needs and deliver high-impact talent solutions, while also building strong relationships with top-tier Software Developers across the UK.

The Team:

You’ll be joining one of our busiest desks with the opportunity to inherit a high-performing team of five, collectively generating over £1.5 million annually.
