The Opportunity

Michelle Waterworth Recruitment is working with an established and successful recruitment business seeking an experienced Recruitment Consultant or Senior Recruitment Consultant to join its growing team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an established fee-earning Recruitment Consultant looking for a fresh challenge, better earning potential and a more supportive working environment.

Based in Nottingham / Derbyshire, this position offers the opportunity to take over and develop a warm, established recruitment desk, with existing client relationships, candidate networks and business opportunities already in place.

Importantly, the business is open to recruitment consultants from any recruitment sector. Whether your background is in Engineering, Manufacturing, Construction, IT, Technology, Accountancy, Finance, Professional Services, Legal, Healthcare, Medical, FMCG, Food, Sales, Commercial, Industrial or Executive Search, your recruitment experience and billing ability are what matter.

This is an opportunity to build on an existing recruitment desk rather than start completely from scratch. You will have access to established relationships, warm opportunities and the support and infrastructure needed to develop a profitable recruitment business.

The Role – Recruitment Consultant

As a Recruitment Consultant, you will take ownership of an established recruitment desk, managing existing client relationships while identifying opportunities to increase revenue and develop new business.

You will have the autonomy to develop your market, build long-term relationships with clients and candidates and manage the full recruitment lifecycle.

Depending on your experience and sector background, there is flexibility to develop the desk around your existing recruitment specialism and market knowledge.

The position will involve managing permanent, contract, temporary or interim recruitment assignments, depending on your experience and preferred area of recruitment.

You will be joining a supportive recruitment environment where quality relationships, commercial success and long-term business development are valued.

Key Responsibilities

You will manage and develop an established recruitment desk, building on existing client relationships, warm leads and candidate networks. You will be responsible for developing new business opportunities, winning vacancies and managing the full 360 recruitment process from initial client engagement and vacancy qualification through to candidate sourcing, interviews, offers and placement.

You will maintain strong relationships with existing clients, identify opportunities for account growth, source and attract high-quality candidates and deliver a professional recruitment service that generates repeat business and referrals.

You will also be responsible for managing your own billing performance, developing your specialist market and maximising the earning potential of your recruitment desk.

Experience Required

We are looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant, Senior Recruitment Consultant, Principal Recruitment Consultant or Managing Recruitment Consultant with previous fee-earning recruitment agency experience.

You must have a proven track record of generating recruitment fees, managing client relationships and delivering successful placements.

We are genuinely open to recruitment consultants from any sector. You do not need previous experience in a particular industry, as the opportunity can be developed around your existing recruitment experience and market knowledge.

We would particularly welcome applications from consultants with experience in 360 recruitment, permanent recruitment, temporary recruitment, contract recruitment, interim recruitment, contingency recruitment or executive search.

You should be commercially minded, confident developing client relationships, motivated by earning commission and capable of managing your own recruitment desk.

Most importantly, we are looking for someone who enjoys recruitment, understands the commercial side of running a successful desk and wants the opportunity to develop their career within a supportive business.

Salary, Commission & Benefits

The successful candidate will receive a competitive basic salary, dependent on experience, together with an attractive and uncapped commission structure offering excellent earning potential.

You will benefit from taking over an established warm desk with existing relationships and opportunities, rather than having to build a recruitment market entirely from scratch.

Additional benefits include flexible hybrid working, autonomy over your desk and working arrangements, access to established recruitment systems and infrastructure, ongoing support and training, and genuine opportunities for career progression.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Recruitment Consultant who wants to increase their earnings while developing a successful and profitable recruitment desk.

Location & Flexible Working

The position is based in Nottingham / Derbyshire, with flexible hybrid working available.

The business recognises the importance of work-life balance and offers flexibility around office and home working. You will have the opportunity to manage your own diary while maintaining regular contact with clients, candidates and the wider team.

Candidates based in Nottingham, Derby, Derbyshire and the surrounding East Midlands areas are encouraged to apply.

Who Should Apply?

This opportunity would suit an established Recruitment Consultant who is currently fee earning and looking for a better opportunity.

Perhaps you are working in a large recruitment agency and feel you have become another number, are frustrated with a lack of flexibility, want better commission or would simply like to take ownership of a warm recruitment desk with established opportunities.

You may be an experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant looking for more autonomy, a better working environment or the opportunity to develop your own specialist recruitment market.

Whatever your sector, if you have a successful recruitment agency background and know how to generate fees, we would like to hear from you.

Please note: Previous experience working in a fee-earning recruitment agency role is essential. Applications from candidates without recruitment agency experience cannot be considered.
