• Source, engage and interview high‑quality candidates using multiple attraction channels
• Deliver a consultative service to clients, advising on market conditions, salaries and talent availability
• Manage offers, negotiations, onboarding and post‑placement aftercare
• Ensure a professional, compliant and high‑quality recruitment experience throughout

About You

• Experienced recruiter OR experienced B2B sales / business development professional
• Strong relationship‑builder who enjoys working closely with candidates as well as clients
• Consultative, credible and confident in managing multiple stakeholders
• Commercially aware, resilient and motivated by results
• Organised, proactive and able to manage a varied workload
• Genuine interest in people, careers and the local Manchester market

What We Offer

• Competitive basic salary with uncapped commission
