Job Description:

Recruitment Consultant – Executive Search | MedTech, Life Sciences & Chemicals

Cheshire

Our client is a leading Executive Search and Headhunting firm with a 25+ year legacy of placing high-impact professionals across the MedTech, Life Sciences, and Chemicals sectors. They don’t chase the quickest win – their consultants are trusted advisors who know their markets deeply and deliver real value to clients through permanent, often retained, search mandates.

They are growing, and are now looking for a driven Permanent Recruitment Consultant to join their high-performing team.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Managing and developing a warm desk across sectors like Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, and Life Sciences, from £50k Sales Professionals to £200k+ Executive mandates
• Delivering high-quality, search-led recruitment – this is not KPI-heavy contingent recruitment
• Building strong, consultative relationships with clients and candidates
• Getting out from behind the desk – client visits are frequent and encouraged
• Supporting and learning from some of the most experienced exec search professionals in the industry

Who We're Looking For:

• An experienced permanent recruiter – you must be able to evidence this
• Proven experience in headhunting, retained search, or building desks in difficult-to-fill markets
• People who’ve worked in talent-short sectors and know how to dig deep – not just surface-level CV sifting
• Strong client-facing confidence and intellectual curiosity

What You’ll Get in Return:

• Industry-leading commission structure – around a third of everything you bill
• Mond – Thurs office based/ Friday WFH
• Long service rewards – 5–10 year tenure is the norm here
• Outward-bound and team reward events – work hard, play hard culture
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays + Christmas shutdown
