We're 5Values Consulting Group. We power brands who are pushing the boundaries in talent solutions and content.

Every company says 'we're a little bit different'. But rather than spout the same old waffle you've heard before - we'd rather just let our story speak for itself and let you be the judge.

Our five core values are the foundation of everything we do. They are:

Inclusive - The more diverse our teams, the more experiences and points of view we’ll hear. If we want to hear new ideas, we need to listen to everyone. And to do that, we need to fight against our biases.

Sustainable - If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Sure, no single person can fix the planet by themselves. But we can make sure that every decision we make takes us one step closer.

Attentive - We have two ears and one mouth. So, we should listen twice as much as we speak.

Authentic - It’s easy to say you’re going to do good things, it’s not so easy to actually do them. So we follow through. We walk the walk. And we never just pay lip service.

Considerate - People are at the heart of our business. We prioritise their long-term growth over short-term wins. If someone needs a hand, we offer it.

They underpin our decisions and our culture. That's why we're called...5Values.

At 5Values, we’re the parent company to three brands, including 5V Tech which is industry renowned for its contributions.

5V Tech: The biggest function in the business, made up of three teams and our longest-standing division. You’ll have the support of three team leads, all industry experts within the tech space. This is one of the most lucrative markets, with a real demand for talent and an abundance of opportunity. You'll have the chance to specialise in cutting-edge tech sectors, including Semiconductors, Machine Learning & AI, Robotics & Automation, Software Development, Telecommunications & Hardware Manufacturing, Cloud, and Energy Tech. We position ourselves as true industry experts—our CEO sits on the board of the Edge AI Foundation, and every 5V Tech consultant is deeply embedded in the industries we serve.

5V Media: Our dedicated media team who underpin our industry engagement through initiatives like The Movers and Shakers Report, Women in DeepTech, The IoT Podcast, and the partnership with the Edge AI Foundation (The list goes on). 5V Media are key in building meaningful conversations that keep opportunities coming to our door.

5V Video: Scaling technical teams for the world's biggest Connected TV and Streaming innovators. Chances are, whatever platform you’re currently streaming on – we probably helped design and build it.

Why Are We Hiring?

We have big goals and a lot of ambition.

We need someone sharp, driven, ideally with experience in either tech or US recruitment, resilience, and a clear vision of where you want to go, and win new business in a 360 capacity.

A bit about the role.

This position is a unique opportunity to work in one of the most lucrative industries in the USA. You will be collaborating with cutting-edge businesses across the USA with a specific focus in the semiconductor sector hiring roles for Embedded Software, Firmware, Cloud, Hardware and Electronics. Working with US companies for permanent roles, you will have the luxury of earning US fees, which means larger opportunity to earn more money. This means higher commissions, no thresholds, and a genuine chance to fast-track your career.

What you’ll be doing

• Winning new business with support from industry-leading tools.
• Managing the full recruitment process—from initial screening to placement.
• Building and maintaining strong client relationships, both remotely and in person.
• Finding the best talent and following the 5V process.
• Writing compelling job adverts to attract top candidates.
• Attending industry events and conferences in the UK and abroad.

What We’re Looking For

Recruitment isn’t an easy job, and we’re not looking for someone who is just interested in coasting through their career taking home a basic salary.

Here’s what you’ll need to succeed:

• 6+ months recruitment experience, ideally in engineering, tech, or the US market.
• Resilience, drive, and a clear vision of where you want to go.
• Sales ability and a strong ‘why.’ You need the drive to excel—not just coast. What does success look like for you, and why does it matter?
• Strong communication skills. Whether you’re talking to candidates or clients, you’re clear, professional, approachable and will do the right thing and uphold our values.
• Organisational skills. You can juggle multiple roles, clients, and priorities.
• Problem-solving mindset. We're about solutions, not problems. Quick thinking to deal with last-minute changes or challenges is a massive plus.
• Relationship Building. You're not about making a 'quick buck'. You know how to build trust and create long-term, meaningful, partnerships.
• Research Skills. You’re not afraid to dig deep to uncover the best talent for the job.
• Experience with the US market, especially in tech recruitment, is a big plus. This role offers you the chance to make a real impact, working with the biggest names in tech and tapping into a market with significantly higher rewards.
