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.

• Highly Competitive Basic + Uncapped Commission + Pension + Benefits
• UK, Leeds, LS1

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.

What we are looking for:

• A minimum bachelor’s degree qualification, ideally in a business or related discipline
• Confident, engaging, and articulate interpersonal skills
• First class written and verbal communication in English (additional languages advantageous)
• A bold, dynamic, competitive, and charismatic personality.
• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and commercial awareness
• Self-motivation, proactivity, tenacity, and resilience.
• Proficiency in the use of Microsoft365 products and LinkedIn
• The ability to multi-task and prioritise across multiple concurrent projects/campaigns.

Prior recruitment, consulting, sales, or business development experience will clearly be advantageous but this is by no means a prerequisite as full and ongoing will be provided. Your success and advancement will be far more likely dictated by your attitude, drive and application.

What we can deliver, in return, includes:

• A highly competitive basic salary
• Uncapped commission on ALL billings
• Company pension scheme
• A transparent and collaborative team culture underpinned by our core values of trust and integrity.
• A comprehensive onboarding process with ongoing training, development, and support
• Clear opportunities to progress through the business as we continue to grow: Our talent pathway offering either senior consultant or leadership routes of advancement.
• A fabulous working environment in one of Leeds City Centre’s landmark office buildings
• A rapid selection and assessment process
• Access to cutting edge tools, resources, technology, and software platforms.
• Team social events, incentive-based trips, executive club overseas weekends away.
• (Qualifying) enrolment within a company-wide perks and discounts platform, plus GymFlex health & fitness incentive.
