A rare opportunity for an experienced Data, AI or technology recruiter to build a US market from the ground up within an established, profitable recruitment business based in Hertfordshire.
The business has built a strong UK presence in high-growth technology markets and is now ready to replicate that model in the United States. You will work directly with the founders, drawing on their experience, existing knowledge, systems and support while taking ownership of the US opportunity.
The opportunity
• Establish and grow a US recruitment desk focused on Data, AI and adjacent technology markets.
• Shape the market approach, target clients and candidate strategy from an early stage.
• Work closely with the founders and have a direct influence on how the US business develops.
• Build on a proven UK model, with some potential warm routes into the market while taking responsibility for creating new relationships.
• Help create a substantial US business unit, with the potential to grow into a Country Manager position as the operation develops.
About you
• You have a strong track record recruiting in the US, ideally across Data, AI, software engineering or related technology markets.
• You can develop a market independently, win clients and deliver placements rather than relying on a large existing platform.
• You are commercially minded, self-sufficient and comfortable working with US clients and candidates across time zones.
• You are based in Hertfordshire or within practical reach of Berkhamsted.
Location and package
The business is based in Berkhamsted, a short walk from the station, with direct trains to London Euston taking around 36 minutes. The working arrangement will be shaped around seniority and how independently you can operate; an experienced market builder may only need to attend the office a few times a month.
Salary and commission will depend on the level of experience. Indicative base ranges discussed were around £40,000–£50,000 for a developing profile and £70,000–£80,000 for a more senior hire; the package is to be agreed with the right person.
