Job description

Senior/Principal Technology Recruitment Consultant, Remote or Hybrid (London)

We’re partnering with an established tech search firm to find an experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant. This is a strong fit if you’re a proven tech biller who wants more control over where and how you work, away from the corporate 5 days in the office.

Bored of the commute? Want more flexibility to work remotely? Want to do more school/nursery pickups?

We’re partnering with an established tech search firm to find an experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant. This is a strong fit if you’re a proven tech biller who wants more control over where and how you work, away from the corporate 5 days in the office.

The company

Founded in 2018 and based in London, our client is a specialist tech search firm focused on the Berlin and wider German market. They help high-growth tech companies and scale-ups build their product and engineering teams.

They work across:

• Software engineering, including data and infrastructure
• AI and machine learning
• Executive search, from CTO and VP Engineering down to Engineering Manager

The role

As a Senior Recruitment Consultant, you’ll run a full 360 desk focused on the Berlin tech market, owning both client and candidate relationships from start to finish.

• Business development: win new clients and build long-term partnerships with Berlin’s high-growth tech companies and scale-ups, from early-stage start-ups to established tech brands
• Account management: look after and grow an existing client base, becoming a trusted adviser on hiring, salary benchmarking and the talent market
• Headhunting: proactively source senior engineering, AI/ML and technology leadership talent, including Staff and Principal Engineers, Engineering Managers, Heads of Engineering, Directors and C-level hires
• Full process ownership: take roles from brief to offer, managing interviews, negotiating packages and supporting candidates through relocation or remote start where needed
• Senior, high-value roles: work vacancies typically paying €100k–€250k, often with bonus and equity, so every placement counts
• Building your network: become a known name in the Berlin tech community and grow a desk that keeps producing repeat business
• Working your way: run your desk fully remotely, or come into the London office as often as suits you

What they’re looking for:

• 4–10 years’ technology recruitment experience
• A stable, continuous track record at your current or most recent firm
• Solid 360 billing numbers you can evidence
• Confidence with senior, technical stakeholders
• Self-motivation and organisation, so you can perform without a manager over your shoulder

What’s on offer

• Basic salary of £40,000–£60,000, depending on experience and track record
• OTE of £120,000+ on one placement per month. With average fees around £20k and a strong commission structure, you keep more of what you bill.
• Genuine flexibility: work 100% remote, one day a week in the London office, or more if you prefer. You decide what works for you
• An established client base: start with existing relationships with leading tech companies rather than building from scratch
• A specialist market: focus on Berlin, one of Europe’s busiest tech hubs, where demand for senior engineering and AI talent stays strong
• Autonomy and trust: you’ll be treated as a senior biller, free to run your desk without micromanagement
• Room to grow: work with a specialist, growing firm where strong performance is noticed and rewarded

If you want to move away from the traditional corporate agency, have more flexibility, and not reduce your earning potential, this role is worth discussing.
