Recruitment Consultant (Account Manager)

Are you a relationship driven Recruitment Consultant looking to step away from relentless business development? This could be your ideal next move.

At ALink Recruitment, we have desks in our client’s offices, giving us a front-row seat to their projects, culture, and challenges. This unique setup allows you to become a trusted recruitment partner, not just another supplier.

This role is less about chasing leads and more about resourcing, relationship-building, and ensuring we're always the recruiter of choice. You'll manage an established client account, handle incoming vacancies (both contract and perm), and oversee a junior consultant with around one year of experience.

The Role

Client Management

• Act as the go to recruiter for your client’s hiring needs.
• Strengthen long-term relationships by understanding team dynamics, culture and workforce plans.
• Provide market insight and strategic hiring advice.

Candidate Resourcing

• Source, screen, and qualify candidates for a range of technical and professional roles.
• Build and maintain a strong pipeline for both contract and permanent hires.
• Manage candidates through the full recruitment journey.

Team Oversight

• Provide day-to-day guidance to a junior consultant to support their development and ensure account success.

Full Lifecycle Recruitment

• Manage the entire process: role brief, advertising, sourcing, interviews, offers, onboarding.
• Use a mix of methods: job boards, LinkedIn, referrals, networking, etc.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years experience as a Recruitment Consultant.
• A proven biller with strong client-facing experience.
• Excellent interpersonal, negotiation, and organisational skills.
• Someone who thrives in a relationship-led, fast-moving environment.
• Experience in the rail, infrastructure, or engineering sectors (preferred but not essential).
• A team player who’s confident mentoring others.

What You’ll Get

• Uncapped commission structure.
• Hybrid working.
• No micro-management.
