After a strong start to 2026, we're growing our teams across multiple practice areas and welcoming recruiters at every stage of their career.

• Lead complex, senior-level searches independently

At Team Lead / Manager / Director level, you'll also:

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of consultants toward individual and team targets
• Drive team BD strategy and support key account growth

• Strong communication skills and confidence engaging clients and candidates at all levels
