Job description

Principal Recruitment Consultant | Accounting & Finance

London | Investigo (Part of The IN Group)

Hybrid

Are you an ambitious recruiter looking for a platform where you can genuinely build a market, maximise your earnings, and play a key role in the growth of one of London's most respected Accounting & Finance recruitment teams?

At Investigo, recruitment is about far more than filling vacancies. We build long-term partnerships, provide trusted market insight, and connect businesses with exceptional finance talent across the London market.

Our Accounting & Finance team has developed an outstanding reputation, supporting clients from high-growth SMEs to global organisations and FTSE-listed businesses. We recruit across the full finance spectrum, from Part-Qualified Finance and FP&A professionals through to Financial Controllers, Finance Directors, and CFOs.

The Opportunity:

We're hiring for our Accounting & Finance team, specialising in the Industrial, TMT, and wider private sector markets.

We are open to speaking with both permanent and contract/interim recruiters. Whilst Accounting & Finance experience is advantageous, we're equally interested in successful recruiters from other sectors who bring strong networks, commerciality, and a proven track record of success.

This is an opportunity to join a highly successful team whilst having genuine ownership to build and develop your own market.

What's in it for You?

• Genuine ownership to build and grow your desk
• Strong focus on contract recruitment with significant earning potential
• Opportunity to play a key role in a strategic rebuild and growth journey
• Collaborative, experienced, and high-performing team environment
• Market-leading commission structure, earning up to 42.5%
• Flexible working with a 4.5-day week and 2-3 days working from home
• Clear career progression, with both individual contributor and leadership pathways available
• Access to a broad client base and established brand reputation
• The support, infrastructure, and opportunities that come from being part of The IN Group

We're Looking For:

• Proven success within recruitment
• Strong business development and client management skills
• A consultative, relationship-led approach
• Ambition to build and scale a desk
• A focus on quality, partnership, and long-term success
• A desire to work in a collaborative, high-performance environment

Why Join Us?

Whether you're an experienced Accounting & Finance recruiter or a top-performing recruiter looking for a platform that offers more autonomy, support, and earning potential, Investigo provides the environment to take your career to the next level.

If you're performing well but feel constrained by your current environment, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
