Principal Recruiter

Senior Recruitment Consultant | Advanced Technology Recruitment | £40,000 - £70,000 + Uncapped Commission | Hybrid | Leeds & Manchester | International Markets

RECSEEKERS is partnered with a long-standing client to appoint an experienced recruiter into one of the UK’s most exciting specialist recruitment businesses.

Built entirely from the ground up, without private equity backing or external investment, the business has established an outstanding reputation by doing things differently. Through exceptional delivery, long-term relationships and an uncompromising commitment to quality, they’ve become the recruitment partner of choice for some of the world’s most innovative engineering and technology businesses.

This isn’t a business where average performance blends in.

It’s a team of ambitious, specialist recruiters operating in highly technical global markets, where expertise is valued, fees are substantial and relationships are built over years, not weeks. Their consultants work with organisations solving some of the world’s most complex engineering and technology challenges, giving them access to projects and talent pools few recruiters ever experience.

The people are what make the business exceptional.

You’ll work alongside some of the highest-performing recruiters in the industry, including consultants billing $1m+ annually, learning first-hand how they build markets, win exclusive business and establish themselves as genuine authorities within their niche. Collaboration is a core part of the culture, with experienced consultants investing heavily in helping others succeed.

The earning potential reflects the calibre of the opportunity.

The business offers salaries that sit well above the market alongside a genuinely uncapped commission structure. Top performers regularly generate exceptional incomes, supported by established international clients, high-value assignments and markets with enormous long-term potential.

As the business continues its international growth, opportunities extend far beyond your next promotion. High performers have the opportunity to relocate to the United States, opening the door to one of the world’s most lucrative recruitment markets while remaining part of the same business.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking to speak with experienced agency recruiters who have consistently delivered strong results and want to accelerate their careers by surrounding themselves with exceptional people.
