Commercial Recruitment Consultant

We're hiring a Commercial Recruitment Consultant.

Base salary up to £37k
Uncapped commission - no ceiling
08:30-17:30 Monday to Thursday (we usually get out early on a Friday)
Warm desk covering North Northamptonshire

Non-negotiables:

You'll be based full-time in our NN1 Northampton office
You need to be able to drive

If you don't like being on the phone, it's not for you.

A big part of your day is speaking to clients and candidates. Understanding what businesses actually need, qualifying people properly, and keeping things moving so deals don't drift.

No hiding behind emails. No firing out bland messages hoping something lands.

If you're good on the phone and like speaking to people, this is where you earn well.

The commission is uncapped. There's no ceiling, so your earnings are down to what you bill.

Realistically: Year 1 around £45k
Year 2 around £55k
Year 3 £65k+

With recruitment experience, you may be able to fast track that.
You'll also have the tools to do it properly working with successful recruiters that are leading and driving the business teams within it.

Market-leading CRM
Full tech stack for sourcing, tracking and managing candidates
Systems that support you rather than slow you down

You're not battling spreadsheets and broken processes.

The role:

Managing your own client base across your patch
Business development on the phone and face to face
Sourcing candidates thoroughly, not just job board farming
Screening, interviewing and referencing before submission
Keeping control of the process so things don't fall apart

What it's like here:

Relaxed, but people work. No suits. No daft rules.

We don't do things like "10 before 10" or "make 60 calls before you can have a cup of tea". If you need a KPI to tell you to pick up the phone, this probably isn't a great fuit.

You're trusted to crack on, look after your clients, and build your desk.

Experienced team around you, low staff turnover, and people who actually help each other out.

What we're looking for:

Confident on the phone
Commercial recruitment experience helps, but not essential
Organised enough to manage multiple roles/projects properly
Straightforward and able to build trust quickly
Resilient when things don't go your way

If you back yourself on the phone and want a role where the earnings reflect the effort, you'll do well here.

If not, you won't
Only candidates based in UK and eligible to work in UK are allowed
