Job description

Recruitment Consultant Engineering & Manufacturing — Remote, with travel to client sites in Cambridgeshire & Essex

What’s Different Here

• Solid base salary (dependent on experience)
• Transparent, uncapped commission
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off
• Fully remote, with laptop and phone provided
• Access to leading tools – LinkedIn Recruiter, SourceWhale, Firefish, and more
• New AI tools being rolled out to cut admin and let you focus on what matters

The Role

This is a 360 recruitment role focused on Engineering & Manufacturing. You’ll own your market, drive new business, and run the full process from sourcing through to placement. This isn’t a sit-back-and-wait role. You’ll need to hustle. That means picking up the phone, chasing leads, and building business the old-fashioned way. If your idea of business development is hiding behind emails, this won’t be for you.

Who this suits

• Recruiters with Engineering, Manufacturing, or technical experience or a strong desire to specialise
• Phone-first and commercially sharp
• Confident building business and not afraid to hear no
• Self-starters who want to grow a desk and own their results
• People who value agility over bureaucracy – we’re small but mighty, and we move fast

What you’ll get

You’ll work in a supportive but non-corporate environment. No gimmicks, no micromanagement. Just a fair salary, clear commission, the right tools, and the chance to build something meaningful in a market that rewards effort. For more information, apply now!
