Senior Recruitment Consultant

ECW Search is a highly profitable, privately owned and self-funded recruitment business specialising in commercial hiring across the UK, EMEA and US.

We work with market-leading global brands and high-growth businesses across retained search, contingent recruitment and embedded talent solutions.

We're now investing in the next phase of ECW's growth, expanding into new specialist markets while continuing to build the core business.

For the right people, this creates an opportunity to join an established recruitment company while still having the freedom, earning potential and influence normally associated with a much smaller business. This is the opportunity to create your own business within a business - no strings attached, no smoke and mirrors.

We're looking for an experienced recruiter who can build relationships, win business and deliver excellent recruitment solutions for customers. ECW thrives on partnering with customers and solving complex staffing bottle necks.

You may already have an established specialist market or be looking for the opportunity to take greater ownership of a desk and develop it into something bigger and truly own your business unit.

You'll have the freedom and backing to develop your market, alongside access to ECW's existing infrastructure, technology and experience. This is a role where you will have full budget responsibility to deploy to achieve your business goals.

You will:

• Develop and manage your own specialist recruitment desk and build the division
• Build new customer relationships through proactive business development
• Grow existing relationships and identify new opportunities
• Manage recruitment processes from initial brief through to successful placement
• Develop world class candidate networks within your specialist market
• Take full ownership of your pipeline, activity and revenue
• Work collaboratively with the wider ECW team while retaining autonomy over your market
• Have the opportunity to progress into leadership and build a team as your desk develops

We're looking for someone who already understands recruitment and wants more opportunity from their next move - to genuinely have ownership and be backed to build your own business.

You don't need to arrive ready to build an entire division. You do need to be commercially ambitious, comfortable developing business and capable of running a successful desk with a minimum of £180k billings track record.

You will ideally:

• Have a successful track record within agency recruitment minimum 3 years
• Have experience personally managing and delivering recruitment assignments
• Have experience creating bespoke solutions for customers to match need
• Understand how to build and maintain a strong candidate network
• Be commercially driven and motivated by an excellent uncapped commission structure
• Be comfortable managing your own diary and taking accountability for performance
• Have the ambition to develop your career as the business grows
• Enjoy working within a small, entrepreneurial environment where good performance is recognised and rewarded

We offer flexibility and trust, with an expectation of three days per week in Aylesbury.

There is no predetermined ceiling on where this role can go. If you build a successful desk and demonstrate the ability to lead, ECW will invest behind you to build further.

If you're a strong recruiter looking for more autonomy, better upside and the opportunity to influence what comes next, we'd like to hear from you.
