Senior Recruitment Consultant

The opportunity

Take ownership of an established temporary driving and industrial desk, win new clients, and build a construction and engineering market with a defined route into leadership. We are looking for someone who feels undervalued and wants to test what they can do when given the freedom to build. 

All conversations will be confidential. 

THE ROLE

Connect Recruitment Partners is appointing a Senior Recruitment Consultant who can run a live temporary desk and create new revenue. You will inherit active driving and industrial work, maintain service for existing clients and develop construction and engineering business across temporary, contract and permanent recruitment. No restriction on the location of any new business opportunities. 

You will have support with candidate resourcing, pre-screening, payroll, administration and compliance. That support gives you more time for client conversations, site visits, commercial decisions and placements.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• Manage and grow the existing temporary driving and industrial desk.
• Win new clients through targeted business development, referrals and established market relationships.
• Open construction and engineering accounts, with an initial focus on labour, trades, technical and operational appointments.
• Build a balanced desk across temporary, contract and permanent recruitment.
• Protect margin, agree workable terms and maintain accurate CRM records and forecasts.
• Develop a repeatable client and candidate pipeline to grow your own team

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

• A proven record as a 360 Recruitment Consultant, Senior Consultant or Principal Consultant.
• Evidence that you have originated and retained business through your own market credibility and relationships.
• Experience managing temporary recruitment, including fulfilment, worker care, margin and service delivery.
• Commercial confidence with decision makers and the discipline to keep prospecting while managing delivery.
• The judgement to build relationships properly and respect confidentiality, data protection and contractual obligations.
• Experience in construction or engineering recruitment is valuable. Strong recruiters from driving, industrial, logistics or a related temporary market can also succeed.
• The ambition to recruit, coach and lead people as the desk grows.

PROGRESSION

The role has a performance-based route from Senior Recruitment Consultant to Branch Manager, Regional Manager and Director. Progression depends on personal gross profit, profitable team growth, leadership, compliance and the ability to develop successors. It does not depend on time served; it is completely results-driven, with the support of the business. 

WHY JOIN CRP

•  An existing temporary desk to manage and expand from day one.

•  Dedicated support across resourcing, payroll, administration and compliance.

•  Freedom to shape the construction and engineering market and future team.

•  Clear commercial milestones for progression into branch and regional leadership.

•  Direct access to the founder and the ability to influence how the business grows.
