Warm desk with real depth: You’ll inherit an active, high‑performing desk covering Yorkshire and the North East. Clients already know the brand and take calls. You’ll be working live briefs quickly supported by directors who have decades of market credibility. Relationship‑led, not metric‑led: Success here comes from understanding your clients in detail, advising them intelligently and matching people thoughtfully. Directors are hands‑on recruiters themselves, understanding the job and supporting consultants, not micromanaging them. Real hybrid flexibility: Typically Tues‑Thurs in office. Outside of that, you’ll be trusted to manage your time around candidates, clients and your own commitments. A long‑term opportunity, not a stopgap: This starts with taking responsibility for a maternity‑cover desk, but there is a clear permanent role beyond that. When the consultant returns, you’ll transition into another well‑established market with warm relationships and ongoing work. Strong earnings without unrealistic pressure: Low thresholds, uncapped commission and quarterly bonuses mean consultants routinely add £40k‑£50k+ on top of base when performing well. Quality and consistency matter more than speed.
