Recruitment Consultant

We're hiring a Recruitment Consultant to join our team.

You could be working industrial, commercial, or a mix depending on where you're strongest.

Base salary up to £37k

Uncapped commission with no ceiling

08:30-17:30 Monday to Thursday (we usually get out early on a Friday)

Warm desk available

Non-negotiables:

You’ll be based full-time in our NN1 Northampton office.

You need to be able to drive.

This is a phone based role.

You’re a good person and willing to get on with others.

If you don't like speaking to people, it won’t work.

You’ll spend a good part of your day on the phone to clients and candidates. Understanding what businesses actually need, finding the right people, and managing the process so things don’t drift or fall apart.

No hiding behind emails. No firing out CVs and hoping for the best.

If you’re good on the phone and you like building relationships, this is where you earn.

The commission is uncapped. There’s no ceiling.

Realistically:

Year 1 around £45k

Year 2 around £55k

Year 3 £ 65k+

If you’ve got experience and know what you’re doing, you’ll move quicker than that.

You'll also have the tools behind you:

Market-leading CRM

Full tech stack for sourcing and managing candidates

Systems that support you rather than slow you down

You won’t be fighting with spreadsheets or outdated systems.

Managing your own desk within industrial or commercial recruitment

Business development on the phone and face to face

Sourcing candidates thoroughly, not just job board farming

Screening, interviewing and referencing before submission

Keeping control of the whole process through to offer

Relaxed, but people work.

No suits. No daft rules.

We don’t do things like “10 before 10” or “make 60 calls before you can have a brew”. If you need that, this probably isn’t the place.

You’re trusted to get on with it, build your desk, and look after your clients properly.

Confident on the phone

Recruitment experience helps, but attitude matters more

Organised enough to run multiple roles without dropping standards

Straightforward and able to build trust quickly

Resilient when things don’t go your way

If you back yourself and want a role where your effort actually turns into earnings, you’ll do well here.

If not, you won’t.
