Senior​/Principal Recruitment Consultant

Intelletec is a specialist technical recruitment firm, founded in 2012 and built on long term client partnerships rather than transactional hiring. We are headquartered in Los Angeles but operate nationally across the US.

Our technology practice partners with some of the most exciting startup and scale-up companies in AI, fintech, and more, from venture backed startups scaling their first engineering teams to established public companies. We recruit across software engineering, AI/ML, data, infrastructure, go to market and executive search.

We are hiring a Principal Consultant within our technology practice. You will start on a 180 or 270 desk, delivering into established accounts from day one, and grow into a full 360 role as you build your business development and client management skills.

As your desk grows, you will win new business, manage client relationships and deliver hires end to end, with the freedom to build your own accounts. We will back you with the clients, coaching and structure to make that step, and if you already run a 360 desk, we would love to hear from you too
