Job description

Senior / Principal Recruitment Consultant - J3A Recruitment | Warrington

We're expanding. New office in January. Team growth planned for next year and beyond.

I opened J3A Recruitment in 2023 and we've already been making waves in the water industry (pun fully intended). What started as a vision is now a business with momentum, and we're only getting started.

The next focus is growth, expansion and opening doors into new markets, and I'm looking for the right people to join me on that journey.

This is an opportunity for Senior or Principal Recruiters who can win new business, build proper client relationships and run their own desk with genuine autonomy.

Backgrounds in construction, engineering, utilities or similar are ideal, but if you're a strong 360 recruiter with a proven track record, I want to hear from you.

The Role

This is a proper 360 recruitment role, not a boxed-in desk.

You’ll have full ownership of:

• Winning new business and opening new markets
• Running and growing your own deskBuilding long-term, trusted client relationships
• How you work, how you bill and how you grow
• Building something from the ground up, not just maintaining what's already there

Who Will Succeed at J3A

This isn’t “just another recruitment job” — and it’s not for everyone.

You’ll thrive here if you’re:

• Hungry, driven and relentless
• Strong at winning new business and developing clients
• Personable, confident and commercially switched on
• Willing to go the extra mile when it matters
• Comfortable with freedom, ownership and accountability
• Ambitious and serious about building a long‑term career

Package & Incentives

• £30k–£40k basic (starting salary)
• Up to 30% commission on total billings
• 25 days holiday + stats
• Extra day’s holiday for hitting target
• Additional 3 days for hitting yearly target early (Up to 48 days total - not too shabby, right?)
• Warrington-based (minimum 4 days per week)

Additional incentives include:

• End‑of‑month meals at top restaurants
• Early Friday finishes
• 6‑month & yearly incentives abroad
• Proven progression — I'm building a team for the long term, not short‑term churn

Culture (the bit I care most about)

• No micromanagement
• No pointless KPIs
• No corporate nonsense
• No fallouts for trying new approaches or running with new ideas

You’ll have a voice, and it will be listened to.

We work hard, trust good people, have a laugh and back ambition.

There is clear progression into leadership for those who want it — build desks, lead teams, help shape the future of J3A.

Extras

• Corporate gym membership
• Extended lunches — train, shop, meet up or just take the time you need when an hour isn’t enough
• A business that genuinely supports performance, wellbeing and growth

Final Word (from John)

Yes, we might be small right now — but that’s the opportunity.

You won’t be a number here. You’ll be a key part of where this business goes next. I genuinely care about the people I work with and want to see them earn well, progress fast and hit their personal goals, not just company targets.

If you’re keen, hungry and serious about doing well, and want to get in early and build something special, I’d love to have a conversation
