Job description

Earn more. Work fewer, higher-quality roles. Build something real.

We’re hiring a Recruitment Consultant in our Bournemouth HQ.

If you’re in recruitment and tired of:

• Low fees
• High volume
• And roles you don’t really care about

This will feel very different.

At Acquire, we partner with high-growth DTC & consumer brands (pet, wellness, lifestyle) to hire the people who actually drive revenue — Growth, Performance & Marketing leaders.

That means:

• Fewer roles, higher value
• Retained / exclusive work (not fighting 5 other agencies)
• Real relationships with founders & leadership teams

Recruitment Consultant

We’re looking for a Recruitment Consultant with a strong commercial instinct.

• 1–3 years into recruitment
• Or early in your career, but naturally sales-driven and competitive

You do need the drive to win business and build something of your own.

What you’ll get

• 💰 Higher earnings from higher-value roles (not volume grind)
• 🎯 A clear niche — become known in a fast-growing market
• 🤝 Real responsibility early — not just filling jobs
• 📈 Progression tied to performance, not time served
• 🧠 Direct access to the founder — learn how to actually build a desk

The opportunity

This isn’t a “plug into a big machine” role.

You’ll be part of a small, ambitious team, with the chance to:

• Build your own market
• Work closely with high-growth brands
• And grow with us as we expand into Europe and the US

If you’re serious about recruitment and want to work with some of the best consumer brands in the market, there isn’t another opportunity like this in Bournemouth.
