Jobbeschreibung

Phaidon International is a multi-award-winning talent partner, recognised for service, growth and specialist expertise. Backed by private equity, we are entering an exciting new phase of growth and are looking for people who want to build meaningful careers with us. You’ll be surrounded by ambitious, collaborative colleagues, supported by world-class training and a strong focus on specialist markets where the demand for great talent never slows down.

Founded in London in 2004, we have grown into one of the world’s leading recruitment businesses. Today, we operate across six specialist brands in some of the most exciting and high-growth industries in the world, including Financial Services, End-to-End Supply Chain, Technology, Life Sciences, Infrastructure and Legal.

You’ll join one of our six industry-leading brands and build deep expertise in your niche. The goal is for you to truly understand your market, build meaningful relationships and become a true expert in your specialist area.

What You'll Be Doing

Business Development

From Fortune 500 giants to the fastest-growing start-ups, from day one you’ll build and manage relationships with hiring managers and business leaders across your specialist sector. You’ll proactively contact prospective clients by phone, email and messaging, understand their talent needs, present and negotiate service agreements, and become their trusted talent partner.

Candidate Engagement

You’ll identify and headhunt top mid-to-senior and executive-level professionals within your specialist niche. Build a strong pipeline of active and passive talent through proactive outreach, cold calls, messages and emails. This is not about transactional recruitment; it is about building genuine relationships and developing real market understanding.

End-to-End Process Management

You’ll own the full recruitment process, from introducing suitable candidates and coordinating interviews and feedback through to offer negotiation and post-placement support. You’ll be the person both sides rely on to keep the process professional, fast and successful.

Embrace Technology and Data

We equip our consultants with modern tools, data and technology to work smarter and move faster. You’ll use technology to identify opportunities, track market trends and sharpen your outreach - but it is your expertise, communication and relationships that turn insight into results. We are not replacing the human element. We are supercharging it.

What We're Looking For

You do not need prior recruitment experience to succeed in this role. We are looking for individuals who demonstrate strong commercial awareness, a genuine interest in sales, and the motivation to develop within a challenging and fast-paced environment. If you are new to recruitment, we will provide a comprehensive onboarding program and more than 100 hours of training in your first year.

• Ambition: You are motivated to learn, take responsibility, develop professionally and build a long-term career in a performance-driven environment.
• Communication: You are proactive, confident in your communication and know how to adapt your style to different people.
• Sales mindset: You are results-driven, proactive and excited by the opportunity to identify and create opportunities.
• Languages: To work across both German and international markets, you bring fluent German and English skills.

What We Expect

Build Strong Relationships

Success in recruitment comes from building strong relationships, understanding your market, and maintaining a consistent approach. This means staying engaged with clients and candidates, following through on commitments, and continuously developing your expertise.

Take Ownership

We provide the training, tools, and support you need to succeed. In return, we look for people who take responsibility for their work, build trusted relationships, and approach challenges with a solution-oriented mindset. When things do not go as planned, we encourage you to reflect, learn, and use those experiences to grow.

Stay Adaptable

Recruitment is a dynamic and people-focused industry. Priorities change, hiring plans evolve, and not every process will go as expected. The consultants who succeed are those who remain adaptable, stay focused on their goals, and maintain a positive attitude when faced with challenges. Resilience and continuous learning are key to building a successful long-term career in recruitment.

What's In It For You

We believe that outstanding performance should be recognised through meaningful rewards, continuous development, and clear opportunities for career progression. That's why we invest in your success from day one through comprehensive training, ongoing support, and a transparent growth path.
