Job description

We are looking for an ambitious Recruitment Consultant to join our growing recruitment team.

BaseLine Aviation Services provides specialized recruitment solutions for the global aviation sector, supporting airlines, MROs, executive functions, and aircraft leasing organizations. The company tailors its services to client needs, covering contract, temporary, and permanent staffing in a cost-effective manner. Reliability and relationship-building are central to its approach, with face-to-face engagement and thorough screening of all candidates to ensure strong role alignment. BaseLine Aviation Services focuses on flexible, open, and honest partnerships that lead to long-term relationships with both clients and candidates.

This is a dual-focused role, combining hands-on recruitment delivery with client account management.

This is a full time role as part of our Dublin office.

You will be responsible for building strong relationships with both clients and candidates, identifying recruitment requirements, managing vacancies from start to finish, and ultimately delivering successful placements.

The ideal candidate will be motivated by results, comfortable speaking with clients and candidates at all levels, and able to manage multiple vacancies and accounts while maintaining a high standard of service.

Experience within aviation, engineering, technical recruitment or another specialist recruitment environment would be advantageous, but we are equally interested in candidates with strong recruitment and account-management experience from other sectors.

Recruitment

• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle from vacancy qualification through to placement.
• Source, identify and engage suitable candidates using databases, LinkedIn, job boards and other recruitment channels.
• Conduct candidate screening, interviews and qualification calls.
• Assess candidates against client requirements and provide professional candidate profiles.
• Manage interview processes and provide regular feedback to candidates and clients.
• Negotiate offers and assist with the successful onboarding of candidates.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date candidate and vacancy records.
• Build and maintain a strong network of candidates within your specialist market.

Account Management

• Develop and maintain strong relationships with existing clients.
• Act as a key point of contact for assigned client accounts.
• Understand each client's business, recruitment requirements and workforce challenges.
• Regularly communicate with clients regarding current vacancies, candidate progress and market conditions.
• Proactively identify additional recruitment opportunities within existing accounts.
• Monitor vacancies and ensure agreed service levels and expectations are consistently met.
• Resolve issues quickly and professionally, ensuring a positive client experience.
• Develop relationships with key decision-makers and hiring managers.

Performance & Reporting

• Work towards agreed placement, revenue, activity and business-development targets.
• Maintain a healthy pipeline of candidates, vacancies and prospective clients.
• Provide regular updates on placements, opportunities and any obstacles affecting progress.
• Track and follow up outstanding interviews, offers and candidate processes.
• Take ownership of your desk and proactively identify ways to improve performance.

Experience Requirements

• Previous experience in recruitment, sales, account management or a similar client-facing role.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Commercially aware with a results-driven approach.
• Confident speaking with clients and candidates at all levels.
• Excellent organisation and time-management skills.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of your workload.
• Comfortable working to targets and KPIs.
• Professional, persistent and proactive approach.
• Experience working with international clients and candidates.

• Driven – motivated by achieving targets and making placements.
• Organised – able to manage multiple vacancies, candidates and clients simultaneously.
• Resilient – understands that recruitment involves plenty of rejection and setbacks.
• Relationship-focused – builds long-term relationships rather than simply filling vacancies.
• Accountable – takes ownership of results and follows things through.
• Competitive – wants to win, but understands that long-term relationships matter.
• A team player – willing to share knowledge, support colleagues and contribute to the wider team's success.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary with an attractive commission structure.
• Clear and achievable performance targets.
• Opportunity to develop and manage your own client accounts.
• Career progression within a growing recruitment business.
• Access to an international client and candidate network.
• Training and ongoing professional development.
• A supportive, commercially focused team environment.
• The opportunity to make a genuine impact on the growth of the business.

You need to be eligible to live and work in Ireland.
