Location: Central London (hybrid working options available)

Salary: Competitive base salary + uncapped commission (OTE £50k+ in year 1, depending on experience)

Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent

We are a boutique recruitment agency based in the heart of London, specialising in placing top IT talent with innovative companies across the UK. As a small, dynamic team, we pride ourselves on building long‑term relationships with clients and candidates, delivering personalised service, and achieving outstanding results in a fast‑paced market. We're growing steadily and looking for an experienced consultant to join us and make an immediate impact.

This is a full 360‑degree recruitment position where you'll manage the end‑to‑end process: from winning new business and developing client relationships to sourcing, resourcing, and placing high‑calibre IT professionals.

• Proactively identifying and winning new clients through business development activities (cold calling, networking, Linked In outreach, and attending industry events).
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with existing clients to understand their hiring needs and secure repeat business.
• Managing the full recruitment lifecycle: writing job adverts, sourcing candidates via job boards, databases, social media, and headhunting.
• Screening, interviewing, and qualifying candidates to ensure the best fit for client requirements.
• Negotiating offers, managing the placement process, and providing ongoing support to both clients and candidates.
• Achieving and exceeding personal billing targets while contributing to team growth.

We're seeking a driven and results‑oriented individual with a proven background in recruitment.

• Minimum of 2 years' experience in recruitment, ideally within the IT/tech sector (e.g., software development, cybersecurity, data, cloud, or infrastructure roles).
• Demonstrable track record in resourcing/top talent sourcing and business development (winning new clients and generating revenue).
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport quickly.
• Ambitious, resilient, and target‑driven mindset – thriving in a commission‑based environment.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple roles simultaneously.

• Experience in contract or permanent IT placements.
• Existing network within the UK IT market.

• Uncapped commission structure with high earning potential.
• Supportive, collaborative team environment in a small agency (no micro management, more autonomy).
• Opportunities for rapid progression as the agency grows.
• Hybrid working (3‑4 days in the office).
• Regular incentives, team socials, and a focus on work‑life balance.
