Job description

Recruitment Consultant – Junior to Team Leader

Southampton (Office Based)

£28,000 to £40,000 + Uncapped Commission

You’re already a great recruiter. You’re hitting your targets, making placements, and now you’re starting to think “What’s next?”

You’ll join a business that’s small enough for your ideas to be heard but bold enough to take them global. A place where your desk could be shipping or renewables or something that hasn’t even exploded yet. A place where the billings are already high, the tools are sharp and the commission structure is built to reward top performers.

The company is fewer than 20 people and it feels like a tight-knit unit but their reach is global despite this. The standards are very high so you’ll be surrounded by great recruiters with strong reputations and a clear vision for where they’re going next. And now they’re looking for one more.

You could join one of their many divisions, from shipping & maritime to solar power and renewable energy, or even something like exec search. These are serious business sectors with great opportunities and big fees to be made. Your job is to build relationships, win work, and place senior‑level talent into businesses that need top‑tier people.

It doesn’t matter what sector you’ve recruited in before, but it wouldn’t hurt if you’ve been in something engineering adjacent.

What really matters is that you know how to build credibility quickly and you’re confident working with senior‑level clients and candidates. You’re hungry, focused, resilient and ready to go after something bigger.

What you’ll get

• A warm desk in a high‑potential market
• Uncapped commission with some very generous percentages at higher thresholds
• £4,000 every year for your own learning and development
• 29 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Private medical cover
• A brilliant tech stack that actually helps you recruit better
• International travel opportunities, team incentives, and a business that genuinely invests in you

This is a business that believes in smart strategy, deep relationships and recruiters who want to do things properly. You’ll be given autonomy, support and the tools you need to fly. And if you want it, a clear path into leadership is right there in front of you.

So if you’re a 360 recruiter with solid billing experience and you’re ready for more, let’s talk.

Send your CV. Drop me a message. Pick up the phone.

Whatever works for you. Because the best moves usually start with a good conversation.
