About Us

We’re an ambitious, high-growth recruitment business on a mission to connect top-tier talent with transformative companies across the clean-tech industry. Our approach is rooted in integrity, drive, and a deep understanding of the markets we serve. As we expand into new verticals, we’re looking for a self-starting Recruitment Manager to build, grow, and own a market from the ground up.

The Opportunity

This is not a plug-and-play desk. You’ll be responsible for building a cold desk into a high-performing vertical through full-cycle recruitment – from market mapping and client acquisition to candidate placement and relationship management. It’s a builder’s role: perfect for someone who thrives in autonomy, takes pride in ownership, and is hungry to create something exceptional.

What You’ll Do

• Full-cycle recruitment: Manage the entire recruitment process from business development and job briefings to sourcing, interviewing, offer management, and post-placement support.
• Market development: Identify, build, and grow a niche market within your chosen industry, with the autonomy to shape your approach.
• Business development: Proactively identify and pursue new clients, using cold outreach, networking, and marketing to win retained and exclusive partnerships.
• Candidate sourcing: Build strong candidate pipelines using a variety of sourcing strategies including headhunting, referrals, database searches, and online tools.
• Client management: Serve as a trusted advisor to hiring managers and HR teams, offering strategic insight on hiring plans, talent trends, and competitive intelligence.
• Brand building: Represent our brand with professionalism and thought leadership across LinkedIn, events, and other platforms.
• Revenue responsibility: Be accountable for your own billings, with a clear pathway toward leadership or ownership roles as the desk grows.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in 360/full-cycle recruitment – agency or in-house
• Demonstrated success in building or significantly growing a recruitment desk
• Commercially driven with strong business development skills
• Excellent communicator with the ability to build long-term relationships
• Entrepreneurial mindset – you’re proactive, strategic, and not afraid to start from zero
• Comfortable working in a target-driven, autonomous environment
• Sector experience in a clean-tech environment is a plus – or the curiosity and drive to learn quickly

What’s In It For You

• Autonomy to build and own a desk in a niche of your choosing
• Competitive base salary + aggressive commission structure
• Career path to leadership, team-building, or even equity participation
• Supportive, entrepreneurial team culture with minimal red tape
• Tools, tech, and mentorship to help you build a best-in-class desk
• Flexibility – hybrid options available
