About the Role

We re looking for a Recruitment Consultant to join Regional Recruitment Services and play a key role in rebuilding our Construction division, a previously successful area of the business that has fallen by the wayside in recent years.

About Us

We are proud to be an independently owned, family-run recruitment consultancy, growing year on year by doing things the right way. We ve won numerous awards, including Employer of the Year, and while 2025 was a strong year, our focus is firmly on taking the business to new heights in 2026.

For 17 years, we ve tailored our recruitment approach to each client s individual needs, helping them achieve their vision rather than offering a one‑size‑fits‑all service. Quality sits at the heart of everything we do, from the service we deliver to the people we place.

Between our consultants and management team, we bring decades of combined recruitment experience across multiple sectors and specialisms. You ll be joining a business that values initiative, ownership, development, and long-term success.

What We’re Looking For:

• A confident communicator who enjoys building relationships
• A self-starter who can work on their own initiative and take ownership of ideas or projects
• Driven, motivated, and excited by the idea of growing a division
• Organised, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple roles
• Recruitment or sales experience is ideal – but attitude, initiative, and ambition are essential
• A good understanding of the construction industry would be a plus

What’s In It for You?

• Competitive salary + uncapped commission
• The autonomy to shape and rebuild a key division
• Ongoing training and clear progression opportunities
• Supportive, family‑run culture that trusts you to get on with it
