Recruitment Consultant

Are you an experienced Recruitment Consultant who thrives on pace, targets, relationships and getting things done?

Do you know the difference between recruitment experience and really understanding recruitment?

If you’re commercially driven, resilient, organised and love the buzz of matching great people with great opportunities, we want to hear from you.

Aqumen Recruitment is growing — and we’re looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join our Industrial Temp Division on an initial 6-month contract.

Our Industrial Temp Division is fast-moving, people-focused and commercially driven.

You’ll be working in an environment where every day is different — from winning new business and strengthening client relationships, to sourcing candidates, managing temporary workers and making sure vacancies are filled quickly and effectively.

You'll need to be someone who enjoys the challenge.

Someone who can pick up the phone, build relationships, solve problems and make things happen.

Most importantly, you'll need to understand that great temporary recruitment is about more than filling a vacancy — it's about delivering a service that clients trust and candidates value.

As an Industrial Recruitment Consultant, you'll take ownership of your desk and play a key role in driving the continued growth of our temporary recruitment operation.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing and developing existing client relationships

• Identifying and developing new business opportunities

• Taking detailed vacancy briefs and understanding exactly what the client needs

• Sourcing, interviewing and selecting suitable candidates

• Managing a busy temporary workforce and building strong candidate relationships

• Responding quickly and effectively to changing client requirements

• Managing the full recruitment process from initial contact through to placement

• Conducting regular candidate and client communication

• Helping to ensure high levels of compliance and service delivery

• Working closely with the wider Aqumen team to maximise opportunities

• Hitting and exceeding commercial and recruitment targets

This is a hands-on recruitment role where your energy, experience and ability to deliver will make a genuine difference.

Recruitment experience is essential.

We're looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant who is already comfortable operating in a fast-paced recruitment environment — ideally with experience within industrial, logistics, manufacturing, warehouse, production or temporary recruitment.

You'll need to be:

✅ An experienced Recruitment Consultant with a proven track record

✅ Confident working in a high-volume, fast-paced environment

✅ Commercially minded with a genuine appetite for business development

✅ Comfortable managing both clients and candidates

✅ Highly organised, resilient and able to prioritise under pressure

✅ A confident communicator who isn't afraid to pick up the phone

✅ Driven by results but equally passionate about delivering great service

✅ A problem solver who takes ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do

✅ Able to work independently while contributing positively to a team

A full UK driving licence is essential for this position.

Aqumen Recruitment is a family of recruitment experts with a heritage stretching back to 1999, specialising in recruitment across areas including manufacturing, engineering, automation, warehousing, sales and distribution. We pride ourselves on combining sector knowledge, recruitment expertise and genuine relationships with both clients and candidates.

We're not interested in being just another recruitment agency.

We want to do recruitment properly.

That means understanding our clients, knowing our markets, investing in our people and delivering a service that makes a difference.

You'll be joining an established business with an entrepreneurial mindset, where your ideas, experience and results will be valued.

This is initially a 6-month contract, but that's not necessarily where the journey ends.

With the predicted growth of the business and Industrial Temp Division, there is real potential for this position to develop into a permanent opportunity for the right person.

So, if you're looking for a short-term contract but would also be interested in building something longer term, this could be an excellent opportunity.
