We’re looking for a proactive, relationship‑driven Recruitment Consultant to join our business support team, supporting the education sector across Yorkshire - including Harrogate, York, Leeds, Sheffield and Wakefield.

It’s a candidate‑driven environment, so great conversations, relationship building, and strong candidate management are key, especially as compliance and DBS checks can take time.

If you enjoy conversations, investigating business development opportunities, and developing relationships, you’ll thrive here.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience in high-compliance environments such as healthcare, education or similar
• Confidence picking up the phone and building rapport quickly
• Growing your market through proactive business development
• Building and managing a high-performing client portfolio
• Running the full recruitment lifecycle from briefing to placement
• Hitting financial and activity targets that directly boost your commission
• Understanding of Yorkshire geography (ideal, not essential)

What You’ll Get Back

• A stable, high‑demand market with strong billing potential
• Uncapped commission and accelerators that genuinely reward performance
• High‑performer incentives including luxury trips, cash bonuses and Golden Ticket prizes
• A recognised brand that supports business development and opens doors
• Market‑leading tools, tech and training to help you work efficiently
• Wellbeing support, including mental health resources and private medical options
• Clear progression for those looking to step into senior or leadership roles

If you’re driven, commercially minded and ready to grow your recruitment career with a brand that invests in your success, we’d love to hear from you.
