Job description

London HQ | Hybrid (Moorgate)

As Signify Technology enters its tenth year, we are continuing to invest in the development of our US client partnerships from our London headquarters.

As a Principal Recruitment Consultant aligned to our US market, you will be responsible for managing the full 360 end-to-end recruitment process within one of our core markets across Software Engineering, Data, Machine Learning or AI. You will take ownership of developing strategic hiring partnerships with technology businesses whilst contributing to delivery standards and supporting the development of less experienced consultants within your team.

Why Signify?

Signify has grown consistently in revenue year-on-year since opening and now operates as a predominantly contract-focused consultancy business, with the majority of our work centred around long-term contract and project delivery.

Our consultants are not restricted to selling a single hiring model. Instead, they are supported to operate as hiring partners across both contract and permanent hiring, as well as embedded and project-based solutions. This enables broader client partnerships and access to more stable revenue streams than reliance on individual placements alone.

We operate a no-threshold commission structure designed to reward consistent performance across a quarterly period, with consultants able to earn up to 40% commission and no cap on earnings.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Diversity, equity and inclusion sit at the core of how we operate as a business. We are committed to creating an environment where individuals from all backgrounds feel supported, valued and able to succeed.

We take an active approach to ensuring our workplace is inclusive, respectful and representative of the communities we partner with. We do not tolerate exclusionary or discriminatory behaviour in any form and expect all employees to contribute to maintaining a collaborative and inclusive working environment.
