Are you an experienced recruiter who loves recruitment but is tired of sales pressure? Do you genuinely enjoy interviewing candidates, having meaningful conversations, and assessing people thoroughly rather than chasing deals?

Please read fully before replying.

We are a commercial recruitment agency recruiting permanent roles across the UK, and we are looking for an experienced recruiter to join us in a delivery focused role. This position is all about candidates, not sales.

This role would suit someone currently working in a 180 position, or a 360 recruiter who has realised that business development is not the part of recruitment they enjoy. If interviewing, building rapport, and understanding people is what motivates you, this could be a brilliant fit.

Responsibilities

• Sourcing and interviewing a high volume of candidates, predominantly sales professionals
• Building strong rapport quickly and leading confident, engaging conversations
• Assessing candidate suitability, motivation, and long term fit
• Providing clear, accurate feedback to the wider recruitment team
• Managing candidate communication throughout the recruitment process
• Managing three to four permanent roles at any one time
• Working to key performance indicators focused on interview volume and candidates shortlisted
• Sourcing candidates when required
• Working across a variety of permanent roles nationwide

Qualifications

• Two to three years of recruitment experience preferred
• Background in permanent commercial recruitment preferred, ideally sales
• Someone who genuinely enjoys interviewing and candidate engagement
• Strong communication and listening skills
• High attention to detail and a thorough approach
• Comfortable working at pace without compromising quality
• Flexible mindset and openness to interviewing out of hours when necessary
• Passionate about recruitment and doing the job properly

Benefits

• Salary between £28,000 and £35,000 depending on experience
• Uncapped bonus with realistic on target earnings of £10,000
• Flexible working hours
• Access to the best tools in the industry
• Hybrid or remote working for the right person
• Full training with a clear structure around interviewing
• A business built on trust rather than micromanagement
• A supportive business where you are trusted to do your job well
• A team that works hard, enjoys what they do, and genuinely supports each other

We are passionate about recruitment. We care about quality, relationships, and doing things the right way. There is no micromanagement here. If you do your job well, we give you the trust and flexibility to work in a way that suits you.

If you are an experienced recruiter who wants to focus on what you enjoy most, without the pressure of sales targets, we would love to hear from you.
