Senior Contract Recruitment Consultant

Senior Contract Recruitment Consultant – Technology | develop

Join develop and own a high‐value contract desk across software engineering and technology in the UK, US and Europe. You will build and scale contract teams for some of the most innovative tech businesses, with the autonomy and tools to run your desk like a business within a business.

Why develop?

We set uncompromising standards and combine high performance with high accountability and high reward. Every consultant learns to code so you actually understand the roles you are filling and can speak your clients’ and candidates’ language. You will get weekly training, external learning, a personalised promotion plan and a genuinely adult, high‐trust culture.

What you will be doing

This is a 360 contract role where you own a vertical tech market and drive it. You will:

• Build and grow a portfolio of contracting clients, from first meeting through to long‐term partnership.
• Identify, qualify and convert contract requirements at pace with structured daily business development.
• Re‐engage lapsed accounts and maximise existing relationships across new projects, markets and geographies.
• Run candidate acquisition campaigns including job ads, headhunting, talent pools and referrals.
• Use tools such as SourceBreaker, LinkedIn, job boards and Bullhorn to build deep contractor communities.
• Own the end‐to‐end contract process: shortlists, interviews, offer negotiation, compliance and aftercare.

What you will bring

• Proven success in contract recruitment, ideally within technology or a related technical market.
• Evidence of consistently hitting and beating targets in a 360 environment.
• High intelligence, strong questioning and objection‐handling skills, and a competitive, resilient mindset.
• The ability to operate with urgency without cutting corners, and to manage multiple live roles at once.
• A team‐first attitude and the desire to help build something, not just bill.

What you will get

You will join a fast‐growing business with a competitive base salary, uncapped commission, private healthcare, 25 days’ holiday, weekly training, incentive trips, quarterly top‐performer lunches, a 4pm Friday finish and access to a share scheme once you qualify.

If you are a high‐performing contract recruiter who wants true ownership of a tech market and to be rewarded properly for it, we should talk.
