Descripción del empleo

Who are we:

Strativ Group specialises in technology, clean energy, future mobility and industrial recruitment. Established in 2018 with the goal of building a forward-thinking business that does things differently, we make it our mission to empower people and shape futures.

Our Aerospace & Defence team is growing, if you’re looking to take your recruitment career to the next level, step into a hot desk covering the US market with huge growth potential, whilst also having the opportunity to build something of your own, then how does this sound…

Walk into live roles from day one, either exclusive or retained

Coached by one of our top billers in London

Fees upwards of £35k+, with all work being agreed at 25%-30%

A genuine opportunity to bill £300k+ in your first year, with a clear path towards team leadership

The team focuses on placing engineering, technology and AI talent into some of the fastest-growing VC-backed start-ups and scale-ups across Europe, covering roles across Land, Sea, Air and even Space!

Think space satellites, drone defence companies, self-flying planes, cars and more...

This hire is being made off the back of the team's success over the last 12 months, the strong pipeline of live opportunities and the huge amount of market still left to cover.

The Role:

What you’ll be doing:

Working across the USA Aerospace & Defence market, with live roles ready for you to step into from day one, including multiple exclusive/retained positions.

Building your reputation as a specialist across areas including Hardware/Embedded Engineering, placing high-calibre talent into some of the fastest growing VC backed startups/scale ups on a retained or exclusive basis.

Building your personal brand and network within the market, with success driven by relationships, industry knowledge and being visible within the sector rather than relying solely on traditional cold calling.

The Requirements:

• A proven track record in 360 recruitment, from winning new clients to delivering on roles that you’ve personally brought into the business.
• Experience within Engineering, Hardware/Embedded, Software Engineering or AI would be highly relevant.
• Alternatively, we’re open to recruiters who have placed with early-stage VC/PE backed startups and scale ups, particularly those who have partnered with businesses Pre-Seed to Series C.
• Someone who is naturally relationship-driven, enjoys networking and wants to become a genuine specialist within their market.
• A self-starter who wants the freedom and responsibility to build their own space, while being happy working within an established team and get involved in our culture!

The Rewards:

This is a rare opportunity to join a desk that is already hot, rather than being asked to build from scratch. With bigger fees comes bigger billing potential and a genuine opportunity to bill £300k+ in your first year.

We know the opportunity is there because we’ve already seen it happen. One of our 2026 new starters has already billed £150k in their first 6 months in the business coming from a completely different background/market.

One of our trainees joined us with less than 6 months experience in recruitment and has already made their first placement in month 1 and one of our consultants billed £300k last quarter.

Pretty exciting, right?

Last few things to think about:

• This isn’t your typical overly saturated market; it’s an opportunity to be part of an emerging market with very few recruitment businesses this much embedded into the defense start up market across US.
• You’ll be joining our growing London team in January as we move into our bigger and better office. You will have a clear pathway on exactly what you need to do to progress in your career with us.
• You’ll be working alongside a team of genuinely nice people who collaborate, support each other and all want to build something amazing. Not to mention a Director who is one of the top billers in the business already billing over $1m this year!
• You don’t need to come in as an Aerospace & Defence expert. What matters is your ability to build relationships, understand your market and become a true specialist.
• You’re joining a privately owned business, currently at 170+ heads with serious plans to grow by 2027 and the opportunity to be involved in our new EMI share scheme.

If all of that hasn’t made you jump to apply, here are some of our Strativ Group perks:

• No set working hours
• Unlimited holidays
• No dress code
• Private healthcare (Vitality)
• Enhanced parental leave – Up to 9 months maternity/paternity (yes that’s right)
• Dedicated support from our TA, L&D, HR, IT, Marketing, Contracts & Compliance, Finance team… Our Mission Control team are here ready!
• International travel opportunities
• And much more!
