Job description

Senior / Principal Recruitment Consultant: Procurement, Supply Chain & Commercial

Hybrid, Woking/Guildford | Up to £45k base + 30% commission from day one

You already bill in this market. The question is whether you're getting paid properly for it.

If you're an agency recruiter working Procurement, Supply Chain or Commercial, you know the candidates, you know the hiring managers, and you know what a good desk looks like. We're looking for people who want to run one with fewer rules, better clients and a bigger share of what they bill.

Who we are

1st Executive has been the specialist in Procurement, Supply Chain and Commercial recruitment since 2003. We're the largest independent in our sector, with a network of over 200,000 professionals. We recruit permanent, interim and executive search roles from £50k to £250k for corporate and public sector clients across the UK and Europe.

What you get

• Up to £45k base depending on experience, plus 30% commission from your first deal
• A warm desk with access to our PSL clients and frameworks from day one
• No micro-management and no pointless KPIs. We judge you on results.
• Hybrid working, 1-2 days a week in the office, with free parking
• 25 days' holiday, your birthday off and 12 wellness days
• A 2-hour lunch once a week, plus pension, private healthcare, quarterly awards and events
• A clear route up. Both of our Sales Directors started as consultants here.

Who you are

• A 360 agency recruiter with a proven billing record in Procurement, Supply Chain or Commercial, perm or interim
• Someone who enjoys BD: picking up the phone, winning new clients and building networks, not waiting for jobs to land
• Outgoing, confident with senior stakeholders and driven by targets you set yourself

This isn't for you if you're in internal or in-house talent acquisition, or if you'd rather manage a job board than win the business.
