Senior/Principal Recruitment Consultant | Software Engineering | Fully Remote or Hybrid London

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re not fully satisfied with where you are.

Which for us, was enough to want to make a change.

At Owen Thomas, we’re breaking away from the typical corporate approach and creating an environment that is not only high performing but also collaborative, engaging, flexible, genuinely rewarding and most importantly, a great time.

We’re looking for a Senior or Principal Recruitment Consultant who thrives on innovation and is ready to help us source top talent, bring in new business and drive our company forward.

There’s no mysterious formula for your career here – we offer a clear, straightforward path for growth, whether that be management or remaining an IC is down to you.

We expect you to care deeply about your work and the people you connect with. We also set out with a commitment to create a company that gives back and in our first year we have achieved our B-Corp pending status.

Remote options? Absolutely. We trust you to manage your time and your responsibilities in a way that works best for you. Why? We want to build a platform for high performance and career progression that also encourages life experiences.

At Owen Thomas, we believe in working hard, but we also believe there’s always time for a cuppa.

What You’ll Do

• Active business development, bringing in new clients through networking events, regular client meetings, proactive cold‑calling and penetration of current clients.
• Build relationships with top‑tier candidates, fostering long‑term, meaningful relationships built on trust and collaboration.
• Bring innovation and drive to our team; finding new & better ways to do recruitment, seeking opportunities beyond what we’re already doing. Managing accounts with strategic thinking and a culture of trust.

What We’re Looking For

• Have at least 36‑months Technology recruitment experience.
• A Proven 360 Billings profile – Principal Consultants are expected to bill £250k+ (new business).
• Someone who knows the London software engineering market inside out.
• Someone who wants a seat at the table of an ambitious, profitable early‑stage startup.
• Proven success within their niche and wants the opportunity for career growth whilst living a more flexible lifestyle.
• Resilient & disciplined to stay consistent every single day.
