Job Description

Contract Leader – Tech Recruitment

Shape the Future. Lead the Charge. Build a Legacy.

Why This Role?

High-Earning Potential: Competitive base salary, zero-threshold commission scheme paying 10–30%, plus team commission, overrides and performance-based bonuses (details shared with shortlisted candidates).

• Career Leap: A clear path to associate director with the autonomy to shape a high-growth division.
• Cutting-Edge Support: Advanced tools, regular personal branding sessions (including LinkedIn strategy workshops) and a collaborative, no-ego culture.
• Impactful Leadership: Lead a profitable, self-sufficient team with the freedom to drive growth and leave your mark.
• Flexible Scope: Focus on regional markets with the option to expand into London or other areas based on your network.

About the Opportunity

I’m partnering with a leading tech recruitment agency to appoint a Contract Leader for their ambitious contract division. The agency already dominates the permanent space and is now scaling its contract team to match. With a profitable team currently billing 58% above target, they’re ready for a strategic, hands-on leader to push things further and solidify their market presence.

You’ll take charge of a high-performing contract recruitment team, inherit strong consultants and lead strategic expansion. This is a standout opportunity for a senior or principal consultant ready to step into a genuine associate director-level role with real influence.

What You’ll Do

• Lead from the Front: Continue billing while mentoring a team of experienced tech contract recruiters.
• Drive Growth: Define and execute a plan to grow the contract division to rival the permanent business, focusing on regional markets with the option to expand into London.
• Develop Talent: Coach and elevate your team, supporting their development and career progression.
• Own the Numbers: Take full P&L responsibility and steer the team towards even greater profitability.
• Collaborate: Partner with the permanent division to pitch contract services to shared clients and maximise opportunities.

Who You Are

• Tech Recruitment Expert: A seasoned contract recruiter with a proven track record in tech (software, infrastructure, transformation).
• Strategic Leader: Experienced in managing or mentoring recruiters, with strong market awareness.
• Commercially Savvy: Thrives in a high-performance, target-driven environment while balancing billing and leadership.
• Ambitious Visionary: Ready to step up from a senior/principal role and build a standout contract function.
• Tech-Savvy: Comfortable using CRM platforms, AI tools and modern training systems.
