Senior Recruitment Consultant - Tech
Leeds | up to £40k + Uncapped Commission + benefits
Build a career, not just another recruitment desk.
If you've got between six months and five years' recruitment experience and you're looking for somewhere that will genuinely develop your career, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
Our client aren’t interested in hiring recruiters in volume. They're building a business for the long term, investing heavily in the right people and creating an environment where ambitious consultants can thrive.
Whether your ambition is to become a market-leading recruiter, build an international client base or maximise your earnings, you'll be joining a business that gives you the coaching, support and opportunity to make it happen.
About the Business
Our client operate as one global talent business across two specialist brands.
- They have a tech recruitment brand that partners with organisations across automation, robotics, industrial technology, AI infrastructure, energy and data centres.
- And an award winning life sciences and pharmaceutical recruitment brand.
Working globally, they deliver executive search, permanent and contract recruitment to some of the world's fastest-growing technology and science businesses.
The Opportunity
The business is growing across several specialist markets, with a particular opportunity to help build an exciting desk within the rapidly expanding Digital Pathology sector.
Working alongside highly experienced leaders, you'll take ownership of your own 360 recruitment desk, developing new business, managing client relationships and delivering high-quality executive and specialist searches.
Unlike many recruitment firms, you'll also benefit from inherited business, existing relationships and a strong market presence, giving you the foundations to build quickly.
Why Recruiters Join... and StayExceptional Leadership
You'll be coached by people who've genuinely done the job.
With over 15 years' recruitment experience, Andrew and the senior leadership team have built successful desks themselves. They're supported by a co-director whose primary focus is developing recruiters, not simply managing KPIs.
Industry-Leading Coaching
Development isn't left to chance.
You'll receive structured coaching internally, plus regular sessions with an external trainer who is a former million-pound biller, helping you continually improve your commercial and recruitment skills.
Earn What You're Worth
The commission structure is one of the strongest in the market.
- No commission threshold
- Uncapped earnings
- Up to 50% commission on billings above £100k in a quarter
With average fees between £15,000-£25,000, and US placements regularly reaching £40,000+, every placement has a significant impact on your earnings.
Work in Markets That Matter
You'll recruit into industries with genuine long-term demand, including:
- Automation
- Robotics
- Life Sciences
- Pharmaceuticals
- AI Infrastructure
- Data Centres
- Energy
These are specialist, technical markets where expertise is valued and long-term client relationships are built.
Supportive, High-Performance Culture
This isn't a sink-or-swim environment.
New consultants sit alongside experienced recruiters with established networks, active clients and existing workflows. The business has deliberately slowed hiring to protect its collaborative culture and ensure every new joiner receives the support they need.
International Opportunity
As your desk grows, you'll have opportunities to travel internationally for client meetings, networking events and industry conferences across Europe and the US, building relationships that go far beyond transactional recruitment.
Modern Technology
The business continually invests in technology, including AI-powered call recording and note-taking tools, allowing consultants to spend more time speaking with clients and candidates rather than completing administration.
Genuine Career Progression
This is a business with a proven track record of developing recruiters.
Several consultants have progressed from struggling performers to billing £450k-£500k+ annually through structured coaching, mentoring and increasing autonomy as they develop.

- Around 6 months to 5 years' recruitment experience
- Experience in a 360 or business development-focused recruitment role
- Confidence speaking to clients and candidates
- A resilient, commercially-minded approach
