We are looking for

• Proven experience as a 360 recruiter
• Management experience or a clear ambition to step into leadership
• Strong commercial mindset and business development capability
• A motivating and hands on approach to coaching and developing others
• Ambition to build and grow a high performing team
• Adaptable and open minded, with the ability to work across multiple specialisms
