Job description

Recruitment Consultant / Senior Recruitment Consultant

Technology Recruitment

The Technology team at Yolk is growing, and we're looking for ambitious recruiters who want to build a market, develop meaningful client relationships and earn well while doing it.

We recruit across some of the most in-demand technology markets in the UK and Europe, including Data, AI, Software Engineering, Cloud, Infrastructure, Cyber Security and Technology Leadership.

Whether you're already an experienced technology recruiter, recruit in another sector, or have a strong sales background and want to move into recruitment, we're interested in speaking with you.

This is an opportunity to join an established and successful team with access to existing clients, proven delivery processes, modern recruitment technology, marketing support and experienced leadership. You'll have the freedom to develop your own specialism and build a desk that genuinely feels like your own.

What you'll be doing:

• Running a full 360 recruitment desk from business development through to placement
• Developing your own specialist market within technology
• Winning new business and growing existing client relationships
• Building long-term relationships with hiring managers and candidates
• Advising clients on market conditions, salary trends and hiring strategies
• Managing recruitment processes from initial brief through to offer and placement
• Negotiating commercial terms, salaries and contract rates
• Contributing to a collaborative and supportive team environment

What we're looking for:

• Recruitment experience, or a strong background in sales, business development or account management
• A genuine appetite for relationship building and business development
• Commercial awareness and an understanding of what drives results
• Confidence picking up the phone and having conversations others avoid
• Ambition to build and take ownership of your own market
• Self-motivation and the ability to work independently
• A positive attitude and willingness to learn

Technology recruitment experience is helpful, but not essential. We're more interested in attitude, drive and the ability to build relationships.

What you'll get:

• Uncapped commission from day one
• A genuine opportunity to build and own your market
• Access to established clients, technology, marketing support and leadership backing
• Clear progression opportunities as you grow
• Private medical healthcare
• Birthday day off
• Extended Christmas shutdown
• Quarterly incentives and team socials
• Employee referral bonuses of up to £1,500
• Additional wellbeing and benefits package

Why Yolk?

We're ambitious, but we're not interested in KPI theatre. We care about standards and results, but we trust people to run their desks like professionals. You'll get support when you need it and the opportunity to build something meaningful rather than simply maintain somebody else's client base.

If you're looking for a business where you can make an impact, increase your earnings and help shape the future of a growing technology division, we'd love to have a conversation.
