Experienced Recruitment Consultant - Software Engineering

At La Fosse, we’re an employee-owned talent solutions business specialising in tech, digital, and change, but people are always at the heart of what we do.

Our mission is to create a working world where talent is recognised for its value, not its background. We help businesses of all sizes solve people and growth challenges through recruitment, our academy, solutions, and executive search.

What makes us different? Everyone here has a stake in the business. Being employee-owned means we all have a voice, and we all share in our success – quite literally. Through our employee ownership model, everyone benefits financially from the value we create together, with profit-sharing and long-term wealth-building opportunities built in.

We’re ambitious, collaborative, and care about doing great work with great people. There’s real focus on learning, development, and building meaningful careers, in a culture that’s grounded, inclusive, and fun.

If you’re after purpose, progression, and the chance to shape something exciting, La Fosse is the place to do it.

We’re looking for an experienced Contract Recruiter to join our established Software Engineering desk, working alongside one of our top billers who delivered close to £1m in NFI last year. You’ll be joining a high-performing team with an established market, strong client relationships and significant opportunity to grow your desk and earnings.

This is a rare opportunity to inherit an established market with warm client relationships, live opportunities and strong foundations already in place. Working closely with a senior permanent recruiter in the same market, you'll have the platform, support and autonomy to build on an already successful desk while shaping its future growth.
