  • Structured training and development

Growth-focused culture
As a Private Equity-backed business, we are serious about scale. You'll be supported to:

  • Increase your billings
  • Build a team or division
  • Progress your career quickly

True flexibility
Hybrid working that actually works-balance time in a collaborative office with the flexibility to work from home.

What we're looking for

  • A proven recruiter (agency) with a consistent billing track record
  • Experience in the South West market (A&F ideal, but not essential)
  • Someone with the ambition to grow beyond a desk
  • Commercial mindset with strong relationship-building ability

The rewards

  • Competitive base salary + uncapped commission
  • 25 days annual leave
  • Life assurance
  • Flexible working (office + WFH)
  • Regular incentives and bonuses
  • Gym discounts
  • Referral schemes
  • Industry-leading training & progression
