Job description

Recruitment Consultant - AI & Creative Tech | Hybrid | Manchester Airport

About FourPointZero

After six years of pioneering immersive tech recruitment, FourPointZero is expanding into AI talent placement. We've placed talent on projects for Alton Towers, Disneyland, and major film productions. Now we're applying that expertise to the AI revolution in creative technology, and we need an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join us.

The Opportunity

We're looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join our growing team and focus on the AI talent market. As a Recruitment Consultant at FourPointZero, you'll work exclusively on senior AI positions (£80k to £250k+) in creative technology where companies actually need recruitment expertise to assess and attract talent.

This is a genuine opportunity for a Recruitment Consultant who wants to specialise in high-value placements, work with recognised brands, and benefit from our existing client network whilst having autonomy to build your own desk.

What You'll Do as a Recruitment Consultant

* Manage end-to-end recruitment for senior AI positions in creative tech

* Build relationships with passive AI talent who aren't actively looking

* Advise clients on AI team structure beyond individual hires

* Handle complex negotiations, including equity, remote arrangements, and visa sponsorship

* Use AI tools to automate admin tasks and focus on fee-generating activity

* Create content that builds your reputation as an AI talent specialist

* Share market intelligence and split opportunities with the team

What makes this Recruitment Consultant Role Different

* You'll focus on roles where technical assessment genuinely matters

* Direct access to the CEO for strategic decisions

* A commission structure that reflects the premium nature of AI placements

* Warm client introductions from day one (no cold calling databases)

* Budget for AI tools and continuous learning

* Small team where your input shapes the business direction

The Package

* £24k to £32k base (depending on experience) + uncapped commission

* Realistic OTE £70k to £100k in year one, £120k+ once established

* 25 days holiday + birthday off

* Enhanced pension and private healthcare

* Hybrid working (3 days office, 2 remote)

* AI and tech training budget

* On-site gym and healthcare cashback scheme

* Regular team socials

What We're Looking For

* Proven experience as a Recruitment Consultant (From any sector)

* Full 360 recruitment experience

* Genuine interest in understanding technology (you don't need to code)

* Track record of building long-term candidate relationships

* Commercial understanding of equity, funding rounds, and technical hiring

* Ability to write content that demonstrates market knowledge

* Resilience to handle rejection from senior candidates

The Reality

AI recruitment means learning constantly and having credible conversations with Principal Engineers about machine learning frameworks. You'll face rejection from candidates earning more than most MDs. Some clients won't understand why the perfect CV isn't the perfect hire.

But you'll also place candidates who are building genuinely innovative technology. You'll earn premium fees. And you'll develop expertise in the fastest-growing sector in tech.
