Build a Construction Recruitment Career, Not Just Another Desk

Are you an experienced Construction Recruitment Consultant looking for more than just a billing role?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing independent recruitment business based in Leeds, working closely with senior leadership to develop and grow a thriving Construction division. Whether you're currently recruiting white-collar construction professionals, trades and labour, civil engineering, M&E, housing, commercial build or infrastructure talent, you'll have the autonomy to shape your market and build a highly successful desk.

Whether you're a successful Recruitment Consultant ready to step up, a Senior Consultant seeking more responsibility, or an experienced recruiter looking for a clearer route into management, this role offers the platform to accelerate your career.

This is not a corporate environment filled with unnecessary processes and layers of management. Instead, you'll join a business that values entrepreneurial thinking, rewards success and gives recruiters the freedom and support needed to maximise their potential.

The Opportunity

You'll be responsible for developing and growing construction recruitment business across temporary, contract and permanent markets, managing the full recruitment lifecycle while building long-term relationships with clients and candidates.

  • Trades & Labour
  • White Collar Construction
  • Civil Engineering
  • Housing & Residential
  • Commercial Build
  • M&E
  • Infrastructure
  • Facilities Management

This is a genuine opportunity to influence the future direction of the division. As the business continues to grow, you'll have the potential to mentor junior recruiters, help shape strategy and ultimately progress into leadership.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in speaking with recruiters from:

  • Construction Recruitment
  • Trades & Labour Recruitment
  • Civil Engineering Recruitment
  • White Collar Construction Recruitment
  • Building Services Recruitment
  • Property Recruitment
  • Facilities Management Recruitment
  • Infrastructure Recruitment

You'll have a proven track record of:

  • Winning new business
  • Developing client relationships
  • Generating recruitment revenue
  • Managing and growing accounts
  • Delivering exceptional service to clients and candidates
  • Achieving and exceeding sales targets

Most importantly, you'll be ambitious, driven and eager to progress your recruitment career within a business that genuinely invests in its people.

Benefits & Perks
  • In addition to a competitive basic salary and uncapped commission package, you'll benefit from:
  • Hybrid and flexible working
  • Market-leading commission structure with no cap
  • Existing client relationships and opportunities to develop
  • Clear career progression pathway
  • Opportunity to move into management
  • Direct support from experienced leadership
  • Freedom to develop your own market and specialise
  • Modern recruitment technology and tools
  • Ongoing training and professional development
  • Supportive, collaborative team culture
  • Regular incentives and team rewards
  • Pension scheme
  • Generous holiday allowance
  • Free parking
  • Excellent work-life balance
