AJ Connect is growing, and we're looking for someone at the early stages of their career to join us as a Recruitment Consultant.
This isn't a seat at the table. It's a voice at it.
You'll work directly with the founders, focused on interim and contract Accounting & Finance appointments, with a UK-wide remit supporting SMEs across renewables, manufacturing, IT & tech, and construction.
From day one you'll have exposure to senior finance professionals and business leaders at some of the most exciting SMEs in the UK, giving you a genuine grounding in sales and relationship-led recruitment.
What you'll be doing

Identifying and approaching SMEs with interim/contract finance needs, and building relationships with finance leaders and candidates
Managing the full recruitment lifecycle, from client brief through to placement and aftercare
Sourcing, screening, and interviewing interim and contract finance professionals
Building and maintaining a pool of readily available interim finance talent
Generating new business through calls, networking, and market activity
Negotiating terms of business, day rates, and contract details with clients
Managing candidate compliance, referencing, and onboarding
Providing market insight and career advice to candidates to build long-term relationships
Keeping the CRM up to date to support a clear, live pipeline
Working closely with the founders to prioritise roles and shape desk strategy.

What's on offer

A proper tech stack, so you focus on recruitment, not admin
Highly competitive commission structure
Autonomy to build your desk and personal brand
No micro-management. No vanity KPIs. We track the numbers that help you succeed
Career progression, personal development and training
A team that backs you, wants you to win, and has a hell of a lot of fun along the way.

Working setup
HQ'd in Edinburgh, hybrid and flexible. Three days in the office, two from home.
Is this you?
I won't pretend it's a straight line to success. The standards are high and the targets are ambitious. But if you want to build a career in sales, learn from the ground up, and build a name for yourself in an in-demand market, this is a great place to start.
