Job description

Senior Recruitment Consultant | European Markets (DACH)

Build a market. Shape the future. Grow your career.

Powered by legacy. Built on innovation.

At JAM, we help organisations across energy and defence solve complex workforce challenges.

For more than 25 years, we've partnered with businesses shaping the future, connecting exceptional people with organisations where they can make a lasting impact. Our approach is consultative, people-centred and built on long-term relationships, combining specialist expertise with innovative talent solutions.

Now we're looking ahead.

As we continue to grow our European offering, we're looking for an experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant to help establish and develop our presence across the DACH region.

This isn't about inheriting someone else's desk.

It's about building your own market, backed by an established brand, experienced leadership team and the freedom to shape your success.

The opportunity

Whether you've built your career in engineering, technology or another specialist market, you'll already know that great recruitment is about relationships.

The same principles that have made you successful in the UK apply across Europe. Building trusted partnerships. Understanding your clients' challenges. Identifying exceptional talent. Creating opportunities that deliver long-term value.

You'll take ownership of your own specialist market, developing new client relationships while building a network of highly skilled professionals across the DACH region. Working as part of our growing European team, you'll play a key role in shaping the next chapter of JAM's growth.

What you'll be doing

As a Senior Recruitment Consultant, you'll have the autonomy to build and develop your own market while working collaboratively with an experienced team.

Your role will include:

• Developing long-term partnerships with organisations across your specialist sector
• Identifying new business opportunities and building a strong pipeline through proactive business development
• Managing the full recruitment lifecycle, from client engagement through to offer negotiation and placement
• Building and nurturing a high-quality network of specialist candidates
• Becoming a recognised expert within your chosen market
• Working closely with colleagues to deliver wider talent solutions and maximise client value
• Contributing to the continued growth of our European business

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who enjoys building relationships, spotting opportunities and creating long-term success.

You'll likely have:

Experience running a successful 360 recruitment desk

A proven track record of developing new business and growing client relationships

Confidence managing the full recruitment lifecycle

A consultative approach and strong commercial awareness

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

The ambition to help grow a new market while continuing to develop your own career

Previous experience recruiting across Europe isn't essential.

If you're an experienced recruiter with strong business development skills and a willingness to learn, we'll give you the support to succeed.

Why JAM?

Joining JAM means becoming part of a business that's investing in the future.

For more than 25 years we've built trusted partnerships across engineering, technology, energy and defence, helping organisations solve complex workforce challenges through specialist talent solutions.

We're ambitious, collaborative and always looking ahead.

When you join us, you'll benefit from:

• The opportunity to help shape and grow our European business
• A respected brand with more than 25 years of specialist expertise
• Structured learning, mentoring and ongoing professional development
• A collaborative team that celebrates success and shares knowledge
• Hybrid working and the flexibility to perform at your best
• Uncapped commission and genuine earning potential
• Clear career progression with opportunities to develop into leadership roles
• Build your future with JAM

At JAM, we believe careers are built through curiosity, ambition and the relationships you create.

If you're ready to take ownership of your market, make a meaningful contribution to our European growth and build the next stage of your career with an ambitious business, we'd love to hear from you.
