Join a Successful Construction Recruitment Team That Values Relationships Over KPIs

Are you an experienced Construction Recruitment Consultant looking to join a business where relationships, quality recruitment and teamwork are valued above aggressive sales tactics and unrealistic KPIs?

A highly successful independent recruitment business in Nottingham is looking to appoint a Senior Construction Recruitment Consultant to develop and grow its White Collar Construction division.

This is an opportunity to join a mature, supportive and collaborative team where consultants are trusted to run their desks professionally. The culture is built around developing long-term client partnerships, delivering exceptional service and supporting each other to achieve success.

If you're tired of a corporate environment, excessive KPIs or high-pressure management styles, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

The Role

You'll recruit professional construction talent across permanent and contract markets, working with established clients including developers, consultants, main contractors and specialist construction businesses.

Typical positions include:

• Quantity Surveyors
• Project Managers
• Site Managers
• Commercial Managers
• Estimators
• Design Managers
• Contracts Managers
• Building Surveyors
• Construction Directors
• Technical Construction Professionals

You'll have the autonomy to develop your own market, strengthen existing relationships and build new business opportunities across the East Midlands and wider UK construction sector.

What We're Looking For

• Previous Recruitment Consultancy experience is essential
• Construction, Property, Engineering or Technical recruitment background preferred
• Proven success in business development and account management
• Strong relationship-building skills
• Consultative and professional approach to recruitment
• Passion for delivering an exceptional client and candidate experience
• Ambitious, positive and team-focused attitude

Why Join?

• Uncapped commission with excellent earning potential
• Established client base and warm business opportunities
• Hybrid and flexible working
• Supportive leadership team that genuinely invests in its people
• Friendly and collaborative culture
• No office politics, egos or aggressive sales environment
• Opportunity to build a significant desk and progress your career
• Modern recruitment systems and technology
• Pension scheme
• Generous annual leave
• Free parking
• Regular team incentives and rewards

Team Culture

This is a business built around collaboration rather than individual egos. The team enjoys sharing ideas, supporting each other's success and building long-term relationships with clients and candidates.

Recruiters are encouraged to work consultatively, focusing on quality service and partnership-led recruitment rather than transactional sales. Success is recognised and rewarded, but people genuinely enjoy working together and helping each other achieve their goals.
