Job Description


Recruitment Consultant - White Collar

Up to £50,000 per year + Car Allowance + Bonus - Warm Desk

Our client is a well-established recruitment business with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality staffing solutions across the UK. They specialise in supplying professional, technical and managerial talent into construction and related industries, and due to continued growth, they are now seeking an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join their expanding white-collar division.

This is an excellent opportunity for a driven recruiter who wants to take ownership of a warm desk, build long-term client relationships, and play a key role in developing a high-performing recruitment function.

The Role

As a White Collar Recruitment Consultant, you will manage a warm portfolio of existing clients while also driving new business opportunities across professional and technical sectors. You'll be responsible for sourcing high-calibre candidates, managing the full recruitment cycle, and delivering a first-class service to both clients and candidates.

This role suits someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys building relationships, and wants to progress within a respected recruitment organisation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and grow a warm white-collar recruitment desk
  • Develop new client relationships through targeted business development
  • Source, screen and interview candidates across professional and technical roles
  • Manage the full recruitment lifecycle from job qualification to placement
  • Build strong, long-term partnerships with clients and candidates
  • Maintain accurate records, compliance and documentation
  • Work closely with internal teams to support wider business goals
  • Attend client meetings, site visits and industry events where required
  • Deliver consistent results against monthly and quarterly targets
  • Provide market insight, salary benchmarking and recruitment advice to clients

Requirements

You'll be an experienced recruiter with a passion for delivering quality and building lasting relationships. All recruitment backgrounds will be considered, but experience within construction, engineering or technical recruitment is highly desirable.

Essential

  • Proven recruitment experience (any sector)
  • Strong business development skills
  • Ability to manage a warm desk and grow it further
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
  • Confident sourcing, interviewing and candidate management
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail
  • Target-driven with a proactive, positive attitude

Desirable

  • Experience recruiting white-collar roles (e.g., site management, commercial, technical, design, engineering)
  • Knowledge of the construction or built environment sectors
  • Experience working within a fast-paced, KPI-driven recruitment setting

What's On Offer

  • Salary up to £50,000 per year (depending on experience)
  • Car allowance
  • Bonus scheme with excellent earning potential
  • Warm desk with established clients
  • Strong brand presence and industry reputation
  • Supportive leadership and clear progression opportunities
  • Modern systems, tools and resources to help you succeed
  • Long-term career development within a growing business

Why This Role Stands Out

You'll be joining a recruitment business known for professionalism, industry expertise and long-standing client relationships. With a warm desk ready to build on, plus the freedom to develop new business, this role offers the perfect blend of stability and opportunity.

If you're an ambitious recruiter looking to elevate your career within white-collar recruitment, this is a standout opportunity.
