Job description

Altrincham | Hybrid (Wednesday & Thursday in office)

At Experis, we are more than just a traditional recruitment business.

We operate as a Technology and Talent Solutions Partner, helping organisations solve complex capability challenges across Cloud, Cyber, Data, Business Change & Transformation, and Enterprise Technology.

This role sits within one of our Strategic Accounts delivery teams, supporting a global consultancy client where scale, credibility and delivery excellence genuinely matter.

The opportunity

This is a delivery‑first, 180 recruitment role, built for experienced recruiters who want impact without sales distraction.

You’ll operate within an established Strategic Account framework, stepping into a live, high‑volume environment with consistent demand, senior stakeholder access and clear delivery expectations. There is no business development, desk‑building or client acquisition.

Your value comes from execution, judgement and delivery influence.

You will:

• Deliver end‑to‑end recruitment across a range of technology roles, from mid‑level to senior positions.
• Manage high volumes with pace, accuracy and control
• Build and maintain high‑quality candidate pipelines
• Influence hiring outcomes through market insight and delivery credibility
• Operate autonomously within agreed processes, SLAs and frameworks

What we’re looking for

• Proven agency recruitment experience at Senior or Principal level
• Experience delivering technology roles in fast‑paced, high‑volume environments, including: Software Development & Engineering (e.g. Java), Cloud & Infrastructure, Cyber Security, SAP and Infrastructure / Network Engineering
• Strong contract delivery background (MSP or consultancy‑led preferred)
• Comfortable operating at pace and managing change
• Confident engaging hiring managers and stakeholders
• Able to commute to Altrincham for core office days

A solutions‑led environment

What makes Experis different is how we operate. Alongside core delivery, you’ll work within a broader ecosystem spanning Academy talent programmes, outcome‑based Project Services, long‑term Managed Services and global delivery capability. This allows you to deliver with greater credibility and impact, operating as a solutions‑aware partner rather than a purely transactional recruiter.

Why high‑performing recruiters choose Experis

High performers join Experis because they can:

• Work on enterprise‑scale technology programmes others don’t access
• Focus purely on delivery excellence, without BD dilution
• Build credible technology specialism within structured, high‑impact accounts
• Leverage brand strength, solutions and global reach to deliver better outcomes
• Progress into senior delivery roles with real influence and visibility

This is a place to sharpen your delivery craft.

What you’ll get

• Competitive base salary and uncapped commission
• Hybrid working and flexible benefits
• 24 days holiday + bank holidays + birthday off
• Strong leadership, investment and brand backing

Interested?

If you’re a high‑performing technology recruiter looking for scale, complexity and impact without BD, Experis offers something materially different.
