Agency background essential
We partner with clients across the Defence, Aerospace, Energy, and Infrastructure sectors and are now looking to add an experienced 360 Recruitment Consultant to support continued growth.
This opportunity is ideal for someone self-motivated, commercially driven, and looking for an environment that offers genuine autonomy. We trust our consultants to run their desks like their own business, supported by an experienced and collaborative team.
The Role
You will operate in a full 360 capacity, owning the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle. This includes:
- Winning and developing new client relationships within our specialist markets
- Managing and growing existing client accounts
- Delivering high-quality candidate shortlists through proactive headhunting
- Acting as a trusted advisor to clients and candidates
- Managing offers, negotiations, and placements
This is a commercially focused role suited to someone who enjoys business development as much as delivery and wants the freedom to build something meaningful.
What We're Looking For
Proven experience as a 360 recruiter within an agency environment
Demonstrated success in new business development and client management
Experience recruiting within Engineering, Digital, Cyber, Technology, or similar technical markets
A self-starter mindset with the ability to work autonomously
Professional, credible, and relationship-led approach
Strong billing ambition with a quality-first mindset

Autonomy and trust – no micromanagement, no unnecessary KPIs
Strong team culture – collaborative, supportive, and experienced
Established client relationships to build from, not just a cold start
Access to high-value, complex roles within Defence, Aerospace & Critical Infrastructure

Uncapped commission with realistic, achievable earnings
Flexible hybrid working to support work–life balance
Monthly socials & annual incentive trips
25 days holiday (buy/sell option) plus additional days for hitting targets
If you're an experienced recruiter looking for a role where you'll be trusted, supported, and rewarded for building your desk properly, without unnecessary micro management, we'd love to hear from you.
