Job description

Recruitment Consultant Thorn Baker Construction•Birmingham, West Midlands, England

We're Thorn Baker Construction, a trusted name in construction recruitment since 1988, connecting great people with great projects across the UK.

Our Birmingham team is growing, and we're now looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join us on a warm, established desk within one of the UK's busiest construction markets.

This is a genuine opportunity to step into a high-performing team with strong client relationships, an excellent reputation, and the backing of a business that's built on long-term partnerships, not short-term wins.

If you're currently feeling stuck, lacking progression, or looking for an environment where your success is genuinely recognised and supported, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.

Why Join Us?

• Competitive basic salary + uncapped commission
• Warm desk with existing client relationships and live vacancies
• City-centre Birmingham office
• Join one of the highest-performing teams in the business
• Clear career progression and tailored development plans
• Flexible, supportive and inclusive working environment
• Loyalty bonus, pension scheme & reward incentives
• Regular team socials, incentives and trips abroad
• Work for a values-led business: People Driven. Solution Focused. Positive Minded.

What You'll Be Doing

This is a fast-paced, relationship-led recruitment role where no two days are the same.

You'll manage and grow an established construction recruitment desk, building strong relationships with both clients and candidates across the sector. From winning new business and developing existing accounts, to sourcing high-quality construction professionals for temporary and permanent opportunities, you'll play a key role in helping projects stay moving.

You'll be responsible for managing the full recruitment life-cycle - advertising roles, sourcing candidates, conducting interviews, coordinating compliance checks, negotiating offers, and ensuring an excellent experience for both clients and candidates throughout the process.

As part of a collaborative and high-performing team, you'll also contribute to business development activity, market mapping, candidate networking, and keeping our CRM systems up to date and organised.

About You

We're looking for someone who's driven, proactive, and enjoys building strong relationships with people.

You'll ideally have at least two year's experience within recruitment or sales, with a proven track record of hitting targets and delivering results. Construction recruitment experience would be a huge advantage, but we're also open to speaking with recruiters from other sectors who are keen to learn and develop within a thriving industry.

Most importantly, you'll share our values - being people driven, solution focused, and positive minded in the way you work every day.

A full UK driving licence and access to your own transport is essential.

About Us

• Established in 1988 | 6 UK locations
• Specialists in Construction, Industrial & Facilities Management recruitment
• Trusted by contractors and clients nationwide
• Proud to be a values-led business that puts people first
• A business built on long-term relationships, quality and doing the right thing
