The Opportunity

An established and growing recruitment business is looking to appoint an ambitious Recruitment Consultant to join its established Leeds team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced recruiter seeking a genuine warm desk, access to live vacancies, established client relationships and a clear route for career progression.

Whether you're looking to continue developing within recruitment or are ready to move towards senior, management or executive search opportunities in the future, this role offers the platform, support and training to help you achieve your career goals.

Working alongside experienced recruiters, you'll inherit active client accounts, receive ongoing support and have the opportunity to build your own market within the thriving Construction and Built Environment sector.

The Role

As a Recruitment Consultant, you will manage permanent recruitment assignments across the Construction and Built Environment market throughout Leeds, Yorkshire and the wider UK.

You will develop relationships with clients and candidates, manage recruitment campaigns, generate new business opportunities and deliver an exceptional consultative service from initial brief through to successful placement.

Unlike many recruitment roles that require building a desk entirely from scratch, this opportunity offers genuine warm clients, existing vacancies and immediate earning potential from day one.

Recruitment activity covers Construction, Civil Engineering, Building Services, Property, Architecture, Project Management, Quantity Surveying, Commercial Management, Trades & Labour and Senior Appointments.

Who We're Looking For

Previous recruitment experience is essential.

Construction recruitment experience would be advantageous; however, applications are welcomed from recruiters working across a wide range of specialist sectors including Engineering, Professional Services, Industrial, Technical, Commercial, Accountancy & Finance, Sales, Supply Chain and Business Support.

Successful applicants will be ambitious, commercially aware and motivated by building long-term client and candidate relationships.

Most importantly, you'll be looking for a business where your success is recognised, your development is supported and your career progression is genuinely encouraged.

What's On Offer?

• Competitive basic salary, uncapped commission structure, bonus opportunities, a genuine warm desk with active vacancies, established client relationships, ongoing candidate flow, hybrid working, comprehensive recruitment training, mentoring from experienced recruitment leaders, a clear career progression pathway, opportunities to progress into Senior Consultant or management positions, exposure to retained and executive search recruitment, a supportive team environment and long-term career development.

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to join a successful recruitment business that genuinely invests in its people.

You’ll benefit from the security of a warm desk, existing client relationships and live opportunities while having the freedom to develop your own market and earning potential.

For recruiters who are feeling restricted in their current environment, this role offers a clear pathway to progress, increase earnings and build a long-term career within a supportive and ambitious team.
