Job Description:

Is your current recruitment gig still stuck in the era of brick-sized mobiles and power ties? Still beholden to KPIs that make as much sense as fax machines in 2025? If you’re ready to swap out the “greed is good” mindset for something a little more future facing, it’s time to discover what a true Talent Consultancy can offer.

Welcome to Mercury Hampton – where we don’t just recruit, we consult, we partner, and we innovate. We’re not your average recruitment company. We’re a global Talent Consultancy, trading in 22 countries, with new offices opening in the USA and the Middle East. Our mission? To connect the brightest minds with world-leading energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, and technology businesses across the planet.

Founded only 7 years ago by two industry veterans with a combined 40 years’ experience, Mercury Hampton is financially solid and committed to investing in your growth.

What’s in it for you?

• A gateway to international opportunities: work with global clients and build your network across 22 countries.
• The chance to transition from a traditional recruitment agency to an award-winning Talent Consultancy.
• World-class training, coaching, and mentoring—plus external courses to keep you at the top of your game.
• Access to the latest recruitment technology, including psychometric testing and our own online candidate evaluation platform.
• A collaborative, professional environment—no more “100 calls a day” nonsense, just real targets that make sense.
• Offices in Newton-Le-Willows with free parking, great restaurants, and easy commute.
• Flexible working—tell us what you need, and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
• A global client list and the freedom to do what’s right for them.
• A culture where strategy is important, but culture eats strategy for breakfast.

Who are we looking for?

• Experienced recruiters (energy sector experience is a bonus, but not essential).
• People who understand organizational structure and can engage with senior-level clients and candidates.
• Self-starters—no baseball bats, just genuine support for those who want to succeed.
• All-round recruitment skills: research, candidate engagement, selection, planning, and relationship management.
• Open to talent at all stages of life and career—age is just a number.

Package:

• Negotiable basic salary
• Laptop and flexible working
• Free birthday holiday
• Christmas shutdown (about two weeks)
• Leisure allowance (for gym membership or similar)
• World-class training and development
• Access to industry-leading recruitment technology
• A genuinely world-class culture

If you’re ready to leave the nineties behind and join a consultancy shaping the future of energy recruitment globally, Mercury Hampton is your next stop. Bring your expertise, your ambition, and maybe leave the shoulder pads at home.
