About Us

We are a fast-growing specialist recruiting firm working with hyper-growth SaaS vendors, helping them scale their GTM (Go-to-Market) teams. Our solutions span agency “success only” work, retained growth mandates, and full Talent as a Service (TaaS) engagements. We pride ourselves on deep market knowledge, strong network of tech & SaaS talent, and delivering high-quality searches at pace.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a high-performing Recruitment Consultant to join our team who has agency experience recruiting software development roles. You will be responsible for owning full desk (likely a warm desk to start), managing client relationships (including US-based clients), developing new business, and delivering results (billings).

You will be expected to generate billings, grow your book of business, and help build out our presence in the US SaaS market.

Key Responsibilities

• Full-cycle recruitment of software development roles (e.g. backend, frontend, full-stack, devops, etc.), especially in SaaS environments.
• Manage the desk end-to-end: sourcing active and passive candidates, screening, interviewing, presenting to clients, closing candidates.
• Client management: act as the point of contact for clients (especially US GtM / SaaS clients), understand their needs, advise on market trends, and deliver accordingly.
• Business development: proactively identify, reach out, and win new clients, especially SaaS firms and US-based, or firms with US expansion.
• Hit and exceed billing targets: strong focus on metrics (number of placements, revenue, margin).
• Collaborate internally with the team on market mapping / research, share best practice, contribute to wider firm goals.
• Maintain up-to-date sector knowledge (SaaS/product engineering, dev roles, US market) to consult effectively to both clients and candidates.

Required Experience & Skills

• Strong agency recruitment experience recruiting software development roles.
• Having worked with US-based clients is essential (understanding of their hiring processes, contract types, time zones etc.).
• Good understanding of SaaS business models, terminology, organisational structure, engineering teams etc.
• Proven track record as a strong biller in an agency environment – consistently meeting or exceeding targets.
• Experience in business development: winning new clients, growing accounts etc.
• Excellent communication skills: with candidates, clients, internally.
• Organised, resilient, self-driven: able to work in a fast pace, sometimes ambiguous settings.
• Good commercial acumen: pricing, negotiation, margins.

Nice to Haves

• Experience working in “Talent as a Service” or retained search models.
• Familiarity with GTM hiring (e.g. Sales, CS, Marketing) as well as dev roles.
• Knowledge of UK & US markets for tech salary benchmarking.

Working Pattern

• Office-based in Epsom: 4 days per week in office, 1 day WFH.
• Warm desk provided (i.e. you will be taking over an existing desk / client base).
• Flexibility, but accountability for your own results.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary + performance bonus / commission.
• Travel or relocation support (if required).
