Senior to Principal Recruitment Consultant - Relocate

Relocate to New York or Phoenix (USA)

Competitive base salary + uncapped commission (10–30%) + bonus + incentives + benefits + relocation package + visa support

If you’re an experienced recruiter looking to take your career to the next level - commercially, professionally and personally, relocating to the US with Harnham could be the right move.

We’ve successfully relocated 15+ UK recruiters to our US offices in recent years and have a well-established, realistic process in place. Our US business has been operating for over a decade, with 30 consultants on the ground
, a strong client base, and an average fee size of $55,000
.

This is an opportunity to move into a less constrained market, work retained roles at senior levels, and significantly increase your earning potential, without sacrificing culture, support or long-term progression.

When senior consultants join Harnham, they consistently comment on how different the business feels.

Yes, our market reach and brand matter, but what really sets us apart is:

• trust in experienced recruiters to run their desk properly
• a collaborative culture without shared commission
• strong leadership who understand recruitment

Despite being the world’s largest Data & Analytics consultancy
, our structure remains lean enough to offer genuine visibility, influence and career progression, including leadership opportunities in a growing US market.

We’ll be upfront, the numbers are a big part of why this works:

• ~75% of roles retained
• Average fees negotiated at 27–30%
• Largest deal in the last 3 months: $180k
• Strong demand across Data, Analytics, AI and related markets

You’ll be supported with a tailored onboarding and training plan, plus full access to best-in-class tools:
Linked In Recruiter, Bullhorn, Cloudcall, marketing spend, Sourcebreaker and more.

• Uncapped commission (10–30% tiers, no thresholds)
• Additional bonus schemes for performance

• Regular training and development
• Quarterly Lunch Club (Michelin-star dining)
• Annual winners trip (Vegas this year; previously Tokyo and Croatia)

US visa requirements are strict, and we’re transparent about what’s needed to relocate quickly.

If you don’t quite meet the criteria yet, that doesn’t mean “no”. Many consultants join our UK business first
, continue billing, and relocate once they qualify. These requirements aren’t arbitrary, they’re based on our successful visa history and current US immigration rules.

If relocation is your goal and you’re committed to it, we’ll work with you to get there.
