Senior Principal Recruiter – Product

This is a 360-degree agency recruitment role, not an internal Talent Acquisition or HR position.

Candidates without the following experience will not be considered:

• Currently in a 360 role in agency
• Currently specialising in the Product & UX niche
• Currently responsible for new business development

This is a hands-on, client-facing sales role where you will run your desk like your own business. We’ll provide the brand, the tools, and a warm network of clients; you bring the drive, the sales acumen, and the ambition to dominate the market.

Your Mission (What You'll Do):

• Win New Business: Proactively hunt and win new clients through strategic business development, cold calling, and networking. This is a sales-first role.
• 360 Recruitment: Own the full 360 billing process from start to finish. You will be responsible for originating new job orders and sourcing the candidates.
• Build Your Desk: Develop and expand your own client portfolio within the high-growth Product Design & UX sectors, billing consistently at a high level.
• Headhunt & Close: Source, engage, and manage top-tier niche candidates for your clients, managing the process from interview to offer and negotiation.
• Own Your P&L: Drive revenue for your desk, focusing on high-margin business and contributing to team growth.

Who We're Looking For (The 360 Profile):

• Agency Experience is Essential: 4+ years' experience as a 360 Recruitment Consultant from a recruitment agency (not internal).
• A Verifiable Billing Track Record: You must be able to demonstrate a consistent history of personal billing and revenue generation. We want to see your success.
• A "Hunter" Mentality: You are a natural salesperson who genuinely enjoys the thrill of winning new clients and is resilient in the face of rejection.
• Commercial Acumen: You are target-driven, money-motivated, and understand how to build a profitable recruitment desk.
• Specialist Knowledge: A background in recruiting for Product & UX focused roles is required, this is a specialist role and will require you to be the master of this sector. You will be asked for a full billing history during the process.

What's In It for You (The Rewards):

• Uncapped Earning Potential: A market-leading, uncapped commission structure designed to reward top billers.
• Hybrid work model: 3 days a week in office and 2 work from home days.
• A Warm Desk: Access to Salt's global network of clients; this is a genuine opportunity to hit the ground running.
• Global Career Path: We promote from within. We offer clear pathways to leadership or Director routes, including international mobility.
• Autonomy: We hire adults. You will have the entrepreneurial freedom to build your desk your way, with the support of a major global brand.
• A Winning Team: A hybrid work environment in our Dubai office, surrounded by other high-performing consultants who will push you to succeed
