Vice President of Recruitment

Reporting to: Founder

Location: Hybrid | 2–3 days per week in the office

Every successful recruitment leader reaches the same crossroads, you can continue building someone else's business or you can help shape one.

We're looking for a recruitment leader with the credibility to build high-performing teams, the commercial instinct to continue winning business, and the ambition to help define the future of Elemed.

You'll combine hands-on commercial leadership with the opportunity to develop exceptional people, influence business strategy and help shape the next phase of our growth.

You’ll still be close to the market, leading from the front through your own client relationships and high-value permanent and contract placements, but your greatest impact will come from developing exceptional recruiters, creating a culture of accountability and excellence, and building a business that continues to set the standard within specialist Health Tech recruitment.

If you're looking for another management role, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for the opportunity to help shape the future of a respected specialist recruitment business, we'd love to talk.

Elemed has spent the last decade building a respected reputation as a specialist recruitment partner to the global Health Tech industry.

The foundations are built, the reputation is established, now we're looking for the leader who will help take Elemed to its next stage of growth.

You’ll inherit a strong foundation: an experienced Operatio
** ns Manager, established permanent and contractor recruiters delivering across Europe and the US, and direct access to the Founder as part of the leadership team.

You’ll have the freedom to shape the next chapter of an already respected specialist recruitment business, building on the strong foundations already in place while taking Elemed to its next level of growth.

As Vice President of Recruitment, you'll play a central role in shaping the commercial and operational success of the business.

You’ll continue to lead from the front, maintaining your own presence in the market while developing the people, processes and culture that will define Elemed's next phase of growth.
