Senior Recruitment Consultant – Permanent MarketsThe opportunity

Edmund & Evans are working closely with a well-known and highly respected recruitment business as they look to appoint an experienced Recruitment Consultant into their permanent team.

This is not a replacement hire or a volume-driven role. The business is investing in growth and is selectively adding experienced recruiters who can contribute commercially, win new clients, and build long-term markets.

The role suits someone who takes pride in their sales ability, values quality over volume, and wants to progress into a more senior or leadership position over time.

The business

Our client is a specialist recruitment and executive search firm operating across technology-led markets on a global scale.

They work closely with clients in areas such as supply chain, logistics, automation, and retail technology, delivering senior and hard-to-find hires across the UK, EMEA, the US, and other international regions.

Much of the work is retained or exclusive, allowing consultants to operate in a genuinely consultative way. The business is known for strong client retention, repeat work, and developing recruiters into credible market specialists rather than generalists.

Growth has been measured and intentional, with a clear focus on long-term quality rather than short-term scale.

The role

This is a sales-led permanent recruitment role with clear expectations around new business generation.

You will be responsible for:

• Winning new permanent recruitment assignments through targeted business development
• Developing and expanding existing client accounts
• Managing senior-level recruitment processes end to end
• Building deep market knowledge within a defined specialist area
• Working to clear quarterly targets around new business wins
• Taking ownership of revenue performance and desk growth

The role offers a high level of autonomy, with support from leadership and research functions where appropriate.

Who this is for

This opportunity is suited to an experienced recruiter who:

• Has a strong track record in permanent recruitment
• Enjoys the commercial side of recruitment and business development
• Has consistently won new business, both cold and through existing accounts
• Is comfortable working to sales targets and owning outcomes
• Wants to build a long-term desk rather than operate transactionally
• Has aspirations to move into leadership or management in the future

Candidates from predominantly temporary recruitment backgrounds are less likely to be suitable.

What is on offer

• Competitive base salary, aligned with experience
• Uncapped commission structure
• Clear and transparent performance expectations
• The opportunity to specialise in global, technology-led markets
• Defined progression towards senior and management roles
• A professional, low-ego environment focused on long-term careers

Everything is structured to support sustained performance and retention.

Final thoughts

Edmund & Evans are representing a genuinely strong platform for experienced recruiters who want to step up in quality, credibility, and long-term opportunity.

This role will appeal to recruiters who are serious about their career, confident in their sales ability, and looking for a business where progression is earned and supported.
