A hands-on leadership opportunity for an experienced contract recruiter who wants to build a growing technology desk and help shape the next stage of its development.
Join an established, profitable recruitment business with a strong UK technology presence, active client relationships and a developing contract operation. The team has an established contractor base and a clear ambition to scale towards 100 contractors. You will lead from the front: billing, winning new work and helping the contract team grow.
The opportunity
• Take ownership of a growing contract recruitment desk across Data, AI, software engineering and related technology markets.
• Maintain and develop existing client relationships while creating new opportunities.
• Lead by example as a biller, delivering on searches and building your own client relationships.
• Coach and support contract recruiters, improving how the team qualifies roles, sources specialist talent and closes offers.
• Help grow the contractor community and expand the business towards its 100-contractor ambition.
• Work directly with the founders on the commercial direction and development of the contract business.
• Benefit from modern systems and AI-supported workflows built to improve the team's speed and focus.
About you
• You have a strong billing track record in contract recruitment, ideally in Data, AI, software engineering or another technology market.
• You can win business as well as lead delivery; this is not a delivery-only management role.
• You are confident coaching others, setting a high standard and taking responsibility for team performance.
• You know how to qualify client needs, challenge weak briefs constructively and manage offers through to close.
• You enjoy building a business and can balance individual billing with helping others succeed.
Location and working pattern
The office is in Berkhamsted, a short walk from the station, with direct trains to London Euston taking around 36 minutes. The team is comfortable discussing flexibility; three office days a week is a practical guide, with scope to agree the right arrangement for a strong and experienced hire.
