Job description

• Job Title: Senior to Principal Consultant
• Salary: £40,000–£60,000 base + uncapped commission up to 50%
• Location: London | Hybrid – 3 days in office, 2 from home

Our client is building an AI Platforms recruitment business around a simple proposition: give proven billers the market, fees and earning structure to make significantly more money.

Senior and Principal consultants across the wider AI and Blockchain divisions are consistently billing £300k+, while consultants elsewhere in the business are currently reaching £250k–£300k. Average fees sit around £30k, rising to approximately £40k on US business, with roughly 70% of revenue coming from the US. Your commission is uncapped, paid monthly and can reach 50%, with 50/50 splits across the board.

This isn't a role for someone looking to learn recruitment from scratch. It's for a proven commercial recruiter who wants to build a market, own their clients and maximise their take-home.

The Senior to Principal Consultant will become the commercial right hand to a million-pound biller, helping build an AI Platforms market from the ground up while creating your own client base and revenue stream.

Role Highlights

• Build and win new accounts across AI Platforms and emerging technical markets.
• Own the full 360 cycle, from originating business through to successful delivery.
• Build a market systematically and turn new clients into repeat, multi-role accounts.
• Use conferences, networks and targeted BD to access high-value US and UK opportunities.
• Mentor junior consultants while helping shape the commercial strategy of the division.

You Will Need

• A proven 360 recruitment track record with significant self-generated billing.
• Evidence that your billing comes from clients you personally won, not simply inherited accounts.
• A genuine hunter mentality and a clear strategy for building and converting a BD funnel.
• Experience within AI, blockchain, data, semiconductors, machine learning or another technical STEM market.
• The ambition to build something substantial and help develop people around you.

Why You’ll Love It

• £40k–£60k base salary depending on experience and level.
• Uncapped commission rising to 50%, paid monthly.
• 50/50 splits across the board (including jobs passed between consultants.)
• Average deal values of around £30k, with US deals around £40k.
• A client base where approximately 70% of business comes from the US.
• Existing senior consultants consistently billing £300k+.
• Build a new AI Platforms market rather than inherit someone else's desk.
• Choose your progression: build a team and lead, or stay a pure biller and maximise your earnings.
• Vitality health and dental
• Quarterly incentives, annual super trip (Vegas this year, Mykonos previous)
• Premium kit: Mac equipment and £300 headphones.
