Senior Recruitment Consultant

Senior Recruitment Consultant (Remote)

Location: Remote (UK-based, North West preferred)

Salary: Competitive + Uncapped Commission + Leadership Opportunity

Overview

A high-growth, specialist technology recruitment business is seeking an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join its fully remote team.

Operating globally, the company partners with start-ups and scale-ups (Seed to Series B) to build high-impact teams across Go-To-Market and Product functions. It works closely with founders and leadership teams, positioning itself as a genuine talent partner rather than a transactional recruiter.

This hire will play a key role in the next phase of growth—either as a high-performing individual contributor or as an early-stage team leader, with the opportunity to build out a desk and a team.

The Opportunity

This is a remote-first role offering significant autonomy, trust, and progression.

The successful individual will work directly alongside the founder, receiving hands-on support and development while helping to scale the business. The position suits someone who has already proven themselves in recruitment and is now looking for more ownership, flexibility, and long-term upside.

There are two clear pathways:

• Senior Consultant: Build and scale a high-performing desk within a specialist vertical
• Team Lead (Emerging): Begin shaping a team, mentoring junior consultants, and becoming a key figure within the business

Key Responsibilities

Business Development & Client Ownership

• Win and develop new business with high-growth tech companies globally
• Build relationships with founders, hiring managers, and senior stakeholders
• Deliver consultative, high-quality recruitment solutions aligned to long-term hiring strategies

Candidate Delivery (GTM / Product Focus)

• Identify, engage, and place high-calibre talent across Go-To-Market and Product roles
• Operate across international markets (Europe, US, APAC)
• Manage end-to-end recruitment processes with a focus on quality over volume

Market Expertise

• Develop deep knowledge of tech hiring trends within start-up and scale-up environments
• Act as a trusted advisor to both clients and candidates
• Contribute to market insights and strategic hiring discussions

Candidate Profile

This role is suited to a recruiter who is credible, thoughtful, and relationship-led—not overly sales-driven, but commercially sharp and principled in their approach.

Essential Experience:

• Minimum 1+ year experience in recruitment
• Proven track record of winning business
• Experience managing roles end-to-end

Key Attributes:

• Intelligent, articulate, and consultative in approach
• Down-to-earth with strong relationship-building skills
• High integrity—focused on doing the right thing for clients and candidates
• Self-motivated and comfortable working in a fully remote environment
• Commercially aware without being overly aggressive in sales style

Additional Indicators of Fit:

• Background or strong interest in sport (particularly team sports) is advantageous
• Experience in tech, SaaS, or start-up recruitment is beneficial
• North West-based candidates preferred, though not essential

What’s on Offer

Remote & Flexible Working

• Fully remote model with a high-trust, autonomous environment
• No micromanagement—output and quality are prioritised

Career Progression & Ownership

• Clear pathway into leadership or senior individual contributor role
• Opportunity to build a team and take on significant responsibility

Direct Access to Leadership

• Work closely with the founder with ongoing support and development
• Real influence over business growth and direction

Earning Potential

• Competitive base salary with uncapped commission
• Opportunity to build a highly profitable desk

Culture

The business prides itself on a transparent, relationship-led approach to recruitment. It values quality over volume, long-term partnerships over quick wins, and professionalism without ego.

The environment is collaborative, grounded, and built around mutual respect—suited to individuals who are serious about their career but prefer a more mature, less “sales-heavy” culture.

Career Path

This is an opportunity to join a growing business at an early stage and play a meaningful role in its expansion.

Whether focusing on building a high-performing desk or stepping into leadership, the successful individual will have the platform, support, and autonomy to shape their own long-term career.
