Job description

Senior/Principal Recruitment Consultant | Software Engineering | Fully Remote or Hybrid London

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re not completely satisfied with where you are. For us, that was enough to want to make a change.

At Owen Thomas, we’re breaking away from the typical corporate approach and creating an environment that is collaborative, engaging, flexible, genuinely rewarding, and most importantly, fun.

We’re looking for a Senior or Principal Recruitment Consultant who thrives on innovation and is ready to help us source top talent, bring in new business, and drive our company forward.

There’s no mysterious formula for your career here – we offer a clear, straightforward path for growth.

We expect you to care deeply about your work and the people you connect with. We also commit to creating a company that gives back; in our first year, we achieved our B-Corp pending status.

Remote options? Absolutely. We trust you to manage your time and responsibilities in a way that works best for you. Why? Because we want to build a platform for high performance and career progression that also encourages life experiences.

At Owen Thomas, we believe in working hard, but we also believe there’s always time for a cuppa.

What You’ll Do:

• Active business development, bringing in new clients through networking events, regular client meetings, proactive cold-calling, and penetrating current clients.
• Build relationships with top-tier candidates, fostering long-term, meaningful relationships built on trust and collaboration.
• Bring innovation and drive to our team; finding new & better ways to do recruitment, seeking opportunities beyond what we’re already doing. Managing accounts with strategic thinking and a culture of trust.

What We’re Looking For in a Senior/Principal Recruitment Consultant | Software Engineering | Fully Remote or Hybrid London:

• At least 36 months of Technology recruitment experience
• A proven 360-degree billings profile – Principal Consultants are expected to bill £250k+ (new business)
• Expertise in the Platform Engineering market
• Desire to be part of an ambitious, profitable early-stage startup
• Proven success within your niche and a desire for career growth with a flexible lifestyle
• Resilient & disciplined to stay consistent daily
• Ambitious and self-motivated to become a future leader (biller or management)
• Strong communication skills and ability to build lasting relationships
• Passion for Tech for Good
• Alignment with Owen Thomas’ values: balancing purpose, profit, and planet
• Goal-oriented both professionally and personally, beyond just billing

What’s In It for You:

• Up to 22.5% Commission on every placement – uncapped & no threshold
• Competitive basic salary
• Early Stage Equity
• Unlimited holiday
• Fully Remote Option and access to co-working space/London office
• Mental Health Support via Wellness Coach
• Autonomy over your time with success measured by output over input
• Monthly Top Performers Tea
• Two holiday incentives per year
• Anytime GP appointments
• Cycle to Work scheme (if you join a co-working space)
• Multiple volunteering opportunities (unlimited days per year)
• Private Medical Insurance
• Private Pension Contributions
• Gender Neutral Parental Leave Scheme
