Senior Recruitment Consultant - Legal & Finance

Are you a proven Legal or Finance recruiter looking for a predominantly remote role? Look no further.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant to join our growing specialist recruitment business.

We are a premium recruitment brand specialising in the Legal and Financial sectors, with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality recruitment solutions to both clients and candidates.

This opportunity is designed for an experienced recruiter who already knows their market, understands how to build strong relationships and, importantly, knows how to generate fees.

The opportunity

We are looking for experienced recruiters across a number of specialist areas, including:

• Locum Legal Recruitment

• Permanent / Warm Legal Recruitment

• Accountancy Practice / Finance Recruitment

These are established and warm desks, giving you the opportunity to build on existing relationships rather than starting from scratch.

And because we recognise that experienced recruiters don't need to be office-based five days a week, this role offers predominantly remote working.

You will be required to attend our Sheffield office for your initial induction, followed by one day per month in the office thereafter.

The rest of the time, you can work remotely and manage your desk with the autonomy and flexibility that comes with being an experienced recruitment professional.

What you'll be doing

As a Senior Recruitment Consultant, you will take ownership of your specialist market and be responsible for managing the recruitment process from start to finish.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Identifying and engaging with potential clients to develop new business opportunities

• Managing and developing a large portfolio of existing clients

• Building strong, long-term relationships with clients and candidates

• Conducting thorough candidate interviews and assessments

• Matching the right candidates with the right opportunities

• Providing clients with advice on recruitment best practice, salary expectations and market trends

• Managing the full recruitment process, from initial vacancy through to successful placement

• Building and maintaining a strong network of industry contacts

• Developing and growing your specialist desk

• Meeting and exceeding agreed sales and fee targets

• Working towards clear KPIs and commercial objectives

• Providing regular updates on recruitment activity and performance

Who are we looking for?

This is not a junior or transactional recruitment role.

We are looking for a seasoned recruitment professional with a proven track record within Legal or Finance recruitment.

You'll ideally have:

• Significant experience within Legal or Finance recruitment

• A demonstrable track record of billing and achieving commercial targets

• Strong knowledge of your specialist market

• An established network of clients and/or candidates

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

• Strong business development and sales ability

• The confidence to manage your own desk autonomously

• The ability to work remotely without the need for day-to-day management

• A self-motivated, results-driven approach

• Excellent organisation and time-management skills

• A good understanding of recruitment best practice and current market trends

• A good sense of humour

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who knows recruitment, knows their market and knows how to deliver.

What you'll get in return

We believe experienced recruiters should be well rewarded for the value and fees they generate.

As well as the flexibility of predominantly remote working, you'll benefit from:

• Predominantly remote working

• Initial induction at our Sheffield office

• Just one day per month in the Sheffield office thereafter

• Warm and established recruitment desks

• A lucrative bonus scheme

• Additional individual and team bonuses based on performance

• 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays

• Your birthday off

• The opportunity to earn additional holiday days through performance

• Free parking when you're in the office

• Team incentives, including social events and trips

• Individual recognition and rewards, including additional annual leave, vouchers and gift cards

• Access to some of the best recruitment technology in the market, designed to make your job as efficient as possible

• Career progression

For the right person, there is genuine scope to progress beyond this role.

If you have the ambition to build something bigger, the opportunity is there to develop your own team and move into a management position.

We want experienced recruiters to have the opportunity to build their own success, rather than being restricted by a rigid career structure.
