Technical Recruitment Consultant

Day 1: You've got a desk, an established induction, and a development plan built around developming your own team. 

Day 30: Your desk is established, you're supporting consultants through offers/placements, and clients are already seeing the difference in your approach.

Day 90: Your team's pipeline is thriving, you're trusted with the toughest client conversations, and you're shaping how the desk runs.

Improve your working life and build a career with genuine progression built in.

We're hiring a Technical Recruitment Consultant to join the Rubicon team, supporting our Technical division with white collar positions. This is a step-up role for someone who already knows how to recruit and is ready to start leading, playing a pivotal part in growing an exclusive client desk while developing a team of consultants around them.

Why this Technical Recruitment Consultant role exists: our Technical division has exclusive client relationships and growing demand for skilled candidates, and we need someone who can combine strong personal billing with the ability to coach, guide and get the best out of others. It's the natural next step for a consultant who's proven themselves and wants more responsibility, without losing the parts of recruitment they're good at.

Rubicon is 100% employee-owned (think John Lewis & Waitrose, but smaller and more personal). That means the effort you and your team put in doesn't just hit a target, it contributes to shared success and long-term financial wellbeing for the people doing the work.

What's in it for you

An established induction, technical training and a tailored personal development plan
A clear progression path towards team leader, manager and beyond, every one of ours started on the desk
An established, exclusive client base to build on and grow from day one
Genuine input into how your team and desk are run

The culture fit

You'll sit within a sociable, empowered team where every manager and director has progressed from this very position. This role suits someone who wants to keep recruiting hands-on while starting to shape how a team performs, not step away from the desk entirely. With regular team-building events and social activities, you'll be part of a business that genuinely invests in its people.
