With ambitious growth objectives in place throughout 2025 and into 2026, we’re currently looking to hear from the very best graduate, sales and recruitment talent on the market.

A successful executive recruitment business operating across a range of established and emerging sectors, Verrus have a proven track record for proactively delivering game-changing senior professionals to a predominantly international client base that ranges from rapid growth start-ups to established corporations.

As an Executive Recruiter with Verrus, you’ll be responsible for meeting billing objectives through the permanent placement of mid-level to C-suite executives in a pre-defined market vertical which may dovetail with or complement our current sector specialisms of SaaS, finance, tech, legal, life science, manufacturing, construction and natural resources.

We’re a globally-operating consultancy so there’ll be no geographical restrictions on the scope of your recruiting activities, but you’ll nonetheless be integrating within and benefit enormously from an existing team of experienced consultants whose clients and candidates operate primarily across North America, EMEA and Australasia.

If uncapped earning potential and rapid, meritocratic career progression are your prime drivers, then you might prove to be an important component of our continued growth and success.
