Job description

Lead Permanent Recruitment Consultant / Senior Consultant

London | Hybrid Working

Join One of the UK's Most Established Recruitment Businesses

For over 27 years, PRS Recruitment Services has been one of the UK's leading specialist recruitment consultancies, delivering exceptional talent solutions across Facilities Management, Building Services Engineering, Critical Engineering, Data Centres, Property, Support Services, Construction, Rail and Professional Services.

With an established client portfolio, long-standing relationships with many of the UK's leading organisations, and an outstanding reputation built over five decades, PRS offers recruiters the platform, infrastructure and brand recognition to build genuinely successful careers.

Due to continued investment and ambitious growth plans, we're looking to appoint an experienced Lead Permanent Recruitment Consultant / Senior Recruitment Consultant to help drive our next phase of expansion.

This is far more than a billing role.

We're looking for someone who thrives on winning business, leading from the front and inspiring others to achieve exceptional results.

The Opportunity

This is a genuine leadership position for a high-performing recruitment professional who wants to combine a successful billing desk with developing and managing a team of recruiters.

You’ll inherit warm relationships, established PSLs and recognised market sectors, but your success will come from your ability to identify opportunities, win new clients, develop existing accounts and create a high-performance sales culture.

If you're someone who enjoys opening doors, negotiating major recruitment partnerships, coaching consultants and building a profitable division, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead, coach and develop a team of recruitment consultants, driving activity, accountability and high performance.
• Continue to build and grow your own profitable permanent recruitment desk.
• Generate new business opportunities through strategic sales activity, networking and client development.
• Identify opportunities within existing accounts, increasing market share and developing long-term partnerships.
• Conduct client meetings, negotiate recruitment agreements and secure exclusive assignments.
• Drive KPIs across business development, candidate generation, interviews, offers and placements.
• Mentor junior consultants, sharing recruitment best practice and helping develop future top performers.
• Build strong relationships with senior hiring managers across your specialist market.
• Work closely with senior management to develop growth strategies and expand market presence.
• Champion a positive, energetic and success-driven culture across the office.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in ambitious recruiters who genuinely enjoy selling and leading people.

You’ll ideally have:

• A proven permanent recruitment billing history (£180,000+ annually preferred).
• Experience managing, mentoring or leading recruitment consultants.
• Outstanding business development and client relationship skills.
• A consultative sales approach with excellent commercial awareness.
• A track record of winning new clients and growing existing accounts.
• The ability to motivate, inspire and develop others.
• High levels of resilience, professionalism and personal ambition.

Why Join PRS?

PRS isn't a start-up.

We're an established recruitment business with over five decades of success, an exceptional reputation across multiple specialist markets and a loyal client base that has been built through long-term partnerships and consistent delivery.

When you join PRS, you'll benefit from:

• Competitive basic salary of £45,000-£55,000 DOE.
• Industry-leading uncapped commission with excellent earning potential.
• Team and leadership incentives.
• Clear progression into senior leadership.
• Established database of clients and candidates.
• Marketing, recruitment technology and operational support.
• Continuous training and leadership development.
• Pension and comprehensive benefits package.
• The opportunity to build your own team and significantly influence the future direction of the business.
