Recruitment Consultant

Day 1: You've got a desk, a first-class induction, and a tailored development plan to set you up for success.

Day 30: You're out visiting clients, your candidate pipeline is taking shape, and you're getting a feel for your market.

Day 90: You've got clients coming back to you first, and candidates who trust you to find them the right role.

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

We're hiring Recruitment Consultants to join the Rubicon team, supporting one of our key divisions, playing a pivotal role in sourcing candidates, account managing exclusive clients, and building long-standing relationships with new businesses.
