The Person

  • An established recruiter in the Qualified / Senior Finance space within Commerce & Industry.

  • You know you love recruitment, and you're good at it — BD doesn’t scare you, you enjoy it, and you know how to build lasting client relationships.

  • You're collaborative, confident, and motivated by the right things — delivering quality work, mentoring others, and building something meaningful.

  • Not looking for an escape and looking for a step up.

  • Ready to step up, take ownership, and contribute to a team that’s growing with intent.

The Company:

  • This is a well-established, founder-led recruitment business with over a decade of success in the Finance space. They’ve grown responsibly and weathered market downturns without redundancies.

  • Their leadership is hands-on, respected, and genuinely invested in their people – both in terms of coaching and career development.

  • The culture is adult, high-trust, and ambitious.

  • There’s flexibility (3 days hybrid), top-tier commission and a strong performance culture.

  • With succession plans and a future sale in sight, they’re laying the groundwork now with strategic hires.

The Role:

  • Join the C&I Perm team, reporting into a highly experienced Director, and focusing on the Qualified to Senior Finance market. This isn’t a cold desk – you’ll have a couple of roles on day one and access to a rich database, a history of lapsed clients, and previous warm accounts across C&I.

  • There's huge opportunity for someone commercial, credible, and motivated.

  • This is a classic 360 role, but with real backing – brand, tools, and leadership support. You’ll be encouraged to build your niche, shape your patch, and play a senior role within the team – both in delivery and leadership.

  • Potential to step into management is there if that’s where you’re heading. But if your heart is in pure delivery, that works too – they value contribution, not titles.

  • If you’re a confident Finance recruiter who still loves the job, wants a bigger stage, and is ready to help shape a growing business — this could be the best move you make in 2025.
