Job description

Senior / Principal Recruitment Consultant

Tech, Data & AI Recruitment

Up to 25% commission - Zero threshold

EMI share options for top performers

Long-term plan to move towards an Employee Ownership Trust

Hybrid - 2 days Leeds city centre office - Remote considered

This is a specialist technology recruitment firm that has quietly grown to around £9m turnover with more than 80 contractors deployed across long‑term programmes.

You would run a 360 desk within a specialist technology vertical, building long‑term client relationships and delivering high‑quality hiring processes.

You’ll have the freedom to focus on:

• Contract recruitment
• Or a mix of both contract and permanent

They recruit across markets including:

• Software engineering
• Data and AI
• Cloud and architecture

Clients range from consultancies to scale‑ups and major digital programmes across the UK, Europe and the US.

The culture is deliberately adult.

Consultants are trusted to run their desks without constant KPI pressure.

Who this tends to suit

Recruiters who:

• Already bill well but feel capped by structure
• Want autonomy rather than micromanagement
• Prefer niche expertise over high‑volume recruitment
• Like the idea of future equity participation as the company scales

If you want to run a desk with real autonomy and strong earning potential, it’s worth a conversation.
