Job description

Ready for your next move in recruitment?

We’re looking for an ambitious Recruitment Consultant to join our team and take ownership of an established desk with strong client and candidate relationships.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the commercial side of recruitment, loves building relationships and wants the freedom to develop their own market — while having the support, training and brand behind them to succeed.

Recruitment with Morgan McKinley is fast-paced, people-focused and rewarding. You’ll manage the full recruitment lifecycle, connecting talented people with great opportunities while developing long-term partnerships with clients.

This isn’t just about filling jobs. You’ll be building your network, developing new business, advising clients, understanding your market and creating opportunities.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Recruitment Consultant, you’ll manage and grow your own specialist market. You’ll be responsible for:

• Building strong relationships with new and existing clients
• Identifying and developing new business opportunities
• Sourcing high-quality candidates through advertising, direct search, social media, networking and referrals
• Interviewing, assessing and selecting candidates
• Assisting candidates and clients throughout the interview process
• Developing expert knowledge of your specialist market and becoming a trusted voice within it
• Delivering an exceptional experience to every candidate and client
• Working towards monthly and quarterly targets
• Maintaining accurate and up-to-date information within our recruitment systems

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need to know everything on day one — but you do need the drive to learn, build relationships and succeed.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• 2+ years recruitment experience or relevant commercial/industry experience
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A natural ability to influence, negotiate and engage with people
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
• A proactive, self-motivated and professional approach
• A genuine team-player mentality
• Commercial awareness and an entrepreneurial mindset
• Confidence working towards targets and deadlines
• The resilience and ambition to thrive in a fast-moving environment

Why Morgan McKinley?

We want our people to build careers, not simply do jobs.

You’ll have the support, training and opportunity to develop your recruitment career, while having the freedom to take ownership of your desk and your earning potential.

What’s on offer:

• Uncapped commission and significant earning potential
• Established desk with strong client relationships
• Hybrid and flexible working
• Clear and structured career progression
• Ongoing learning and development
• Regular monthly and quarterly team events
• Supportive, collaborative and friendly team environment
• Opportunity to work with leading organisations, including Fortune 500 clients

• Always Committed – We lead by example, strive for excellence and go the extra mile.
