Higher is a specialist executive search firm with over 10 years’ experience in data science and AI recruitment. We work with the world’s most innovative companies, connecting ambitious start-ups and scale-ups with elite candidates that other recruiters can’t reach.

We are growing the team and looking to recruit an Executive Search Consultant. In this pivotal role, you will manage recruitment pipelines, source top data science candidates, build lasting relationships and contribute to our continued growth as a business.

Company Snapshot

Higher specialises in placing exceptional data science and machine learning talent in the hardest to fill vacancies. We work with companies of every shape and size, offering bespoke end-to-end recruitment services and the opportunity to plug into our unrivalled global network of data scientists, machine learning engineers, data engineers and data leaders.

Higher has become synonymous with quality. We strive to provide an unmatched level of service to all our clients, demonstrating the enduring value of long-term recruitment partnerships in the competitive AI & Data Science market. Our slogan is ‘raising the bar for AI recruitment’ and these words permeate everything we say and do. We are trusted advisors to all our candidates and clients operating with the utmost integrity. We are also unequivocally committed to diversity and raising the profile of marginalised groups in every search we perform.

We hold ourselves, our clients and our candidates to a higher standard and strive to live our values every day: relationships first, dare to care, no question unasked, always accountable and do it better.

Higher offers flexible working as standard, with the opportunity to come together in central London 1-2 days per week.

Everyone at Higher is a grown-up; you will be encouraged to learn into your strengths, do what's right for you and be empowered to live a fully integrated life.

Job Description

As an Executive Search Consultant, you will be immersed in the most cutting-edge fields of technology – AI & machine learning. Developments in this space are fundamentally transforming how we live our lives, how businesses operate and how they deliver products to consumers.

You will also build relationships with highly academic and innovative candidates (most Data Scientists and Machine Learning Engineers have PhDs or Masters’ Degrees).

Responsibilities

• Running search projects, identifying and headhunting candidates
• Creating and maintaining market maps of desirable candidates
• Writing candidate profiles to present to clients
• Coordinating and facilitating interview processes
• Creating bespoke Opportunity Profiles for new searches
• Researching the latest trends in data science, AI and machine learning
• Building and maintaining relationships with candidates and clients
• Organising and managing networking events for senior business leaders and data scientists

Required experience and skills:

• 1-2 years’ experience in executive search, recruitment, or another people- or sales-related role
• Experience with or interest in AI, Data Science & software engineering
• Exceptional communication skills, spoken and written
• Excellent attention to detail
• Ambitious, dedicated and hard-working
• Energetic and self-motivated
• Strong prioritisation and time management skills

Compensation and benefits:

• £60K OTE (minimum £35K base salary - higher for more experienced candidates)
• Flexible working (work from home, access to co-working space, flexible hours)
• 25 days holiday with an additional day for every year of employment to 30 days
• Work from anywhere for 2 weeks per year following probation
• Ongoing training and coaching
• Tools for the job (laptop + Linkedin recruiter license)
• Detailed career progression plan
• Pension contribution
