Job description

At La Fosse, we’re an employee-owned talent solutions business specialising in tech, digital, and change, but people are always at the heart of what we do.

Our mission is to create a working world where talent is recognised for its value, not its background. We help businesses of all sizes solve people and growth challenges through recruitment, our academy, solutions, and executive search.

What makes us different? Everyone here has a stake in the business. Being employee-owned means we all have a voice, and we all share in our success – quite literally. Through our employee ownership model, everyone benefits financially from the value we create together, with profit-sharing and long-term wealth-building opportunities built in.

We’re ambitious, collaborative, and care about doing great work with great people. There’s real focus on learning, development, and building meaningful careers, in a culture that’s grounded, inclusive, and fun.

If you’re after purpose, progression, and the chance to shape something exciting, La Fosse is the place to do it.

The Role & Team:

We’re looking for an Experienced Consultant to join our Technology and Operations division and become part of one of our most profitable teams. This is a 360 contract recruitment role where you’ll work with both existing clients across the La Fosse network and develop new business opportunities. You’ll partner closely with clients to understand their needs and deliver high-impact talent solutions, while also building strong relationships with top‑tier technology professionals across the UK.

This role will be based out of our Birmingham office, working closely with the wider Information Security team in London while taking ownership of opportunities and client relationships across all regions outside of London.

You’ll be joining a team of 12 within one of the highest-performing divisions in the business. The Information Security team has built a strong reputation across the market, with the top biller achieving over £1.5m in 2025. The team consistently delivers exceptional results, averaging £400k+ billings per head, highlighting both the strength of the market and the significant opportunity for success and growth within the team.

What will you be doing?

• Client Partnership: Build and maintain strong client relationships, offering market insight, salary benchmarking, and talent strategy advice.
• Business Development: Identify and win new business through networking, referrals, and proactive outreach.
• Candidate Attraction: Source and engage high-quality candidates using platforms like LinkedIn, job boards, and your own network.
• Recruitment Delivery: Manage the end-to-end recruitment process, from job brief to offer, ensuring a smooth, professional experience for both clients and candidates.
• Offer & Negotiation: Support clients and candidates from negotiating terms through to managing best package for candidates at offer stage.
• Compliance & CRM: Keep accurate records in Bullhorn and ensure alignment with GDPR, employment law, and internal standards.
• Market Expertise: Stay ahead of industry trends and share insights to support clients’ needs.
• Team Collaboration: Live our values of care, ambition, and humility, contributing to a high-performing, inclusive team culture.

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• Proven experience in a 360 recruitment role, ideally within the tech, digital, or change space.
• A strong track record of business development and client relationship management.
• Confidence sourcing talent through platforms like LinkedIn, job boards, and your own network.
• The ability to manage the full recruitment lifecycle with professionalism and attention to detail.
• Solid negotiation and offer management skills, with a commercial mindset.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to influence and build trust.
• A collaborative, team-first mindset, with a proactive approach to hitting personal and shared targets.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple roles and stakeholders at once.
• Familiarity with CRM systems (Bullhorn experience is a plus) and an understanding of recruitment compliance and best practices.

What are the Standards & Expectations we live by?

• We support each other to be as successful as we can.
• Treat others how you would like to be treated.
• We put our teams before ourselves.
• We think and act on what is best for the overall business.
