Executive Search Recruitment Consultant | Harmonic London | B Corp

Harmonic are hiring throughout 2025! We’re looking for talented graduates to support the growth of our executive search brand. This is a great opportunity to work closely with senior leadership teams at some of the UK’s most exciting and innovative start-ups and scale-ups.

As a Community Search Analyst, you’ll play a key role in identifying, engaging, and building trusted relationships with senior-level Finance and Operations professionals. Working in a consultative, insight-led capacity, you’ll support retained and exclusive searches for C-suite and leadership roles across dynamic industries.

Based in the heart of Shoreditch in London, we are a values-led recruitment agency with an inclusive and non-corporate culture – we also became B Corp Certified in 2022! Harmonic supply Finance and Operations professionals to start-up and scale- up businesses. We work with some of the most exciting organisations in Europe, ranging from ground-breaking technology start-ups (Fintech, Software, AI, Robotics, Electronics, BioTech) and record labels through to major fashion labels, vegan food start-ups, leading furniture designers and media businesses. Harmonic offers unrivalled career progression with colleagues joining having the opportunity to become a leader or manager in as little as 18 months.

The Role:

Community Search Analyst is the first rung on the Harmonic career development programme with our executive search team. You'll develop expertise in market mapping, stakeholder engagement, and relationship-driven talent acquisition. Unlike transactional recruitment, our approach is long-term and research-driven. You’re not just filling roles, you're shaping future leadership teams for high-growth businesses.

Daily and weekly targets will be used during your training so if you don’t thrive in a competitive environment (albeit a super-friendly one!), then this probably isn’t the role for you. We expect successful candidates to make promotion to Lead Community Analyst between the first three to six months in the role.

Training:

We’re usually a modest bunch (or at least by industry standards!). But Harmonic offer the best training and coaching. Bar none. Following your initial 12-week training period, we are proud to have a dedicated member of the team, Charlotte Greenwood, who provides ongoing coaching and development. We've also invested in a brilliant online learning system to ensure the whole team always have key learning resources.

Responsibilities:

• Build niche leadership candidate networks within a specialist vertical.
• Conduct market research and map senior talent in high-growth sectors.
• Identify, engage, and submit senior-level candidates for live executive search mandates.
• Prepare candidate briefing packs and search update reports to ensure transparency and consistency in delivery.
• Source intelligence on leadership hiring trends and opportunities.
• Write and co-design thought leadership and bespoke market content.
• Ensure CRM and data integrity across high-value search projects.

The Essentials:

• Fantastic verbal and written communication skills.
• Good educational background.
• A competitive spirit.
• An appreciation and sharing of our values.
• Creativity.
• Strong, lateral thinking processes.
• General paid work experience (part or full time).

Package & Benefits:

• £25,400 rising to £26,400 upon passing probation. More experienced candidates also considered.
• Annual bonus (linked to display of values).
• Private Health Insurance with Vitality (additional benefits included cinema tickets, free coffee and discounts off the Apple watch).
• 50% off gym membership.
• Uncapped commission scheme (evidenced average minimum first year earnings=30-40k, second year earnings= 50-65k, third year earnings 70- 100k).
• 1x company weekend away (paid for by Harmonic!).
• Michelin Star company lunches.
• Holiday of a Lifetime (1 month paid sabbatical after 5 years of service!).
• Rooftop terrace.
• Incentives relating to music, health and fitness and food.
• Funded home working set up.
