Job Description

Job Description:

Senior/Principal Contract Recruitment Consultant

If you're an experienced contract recruiter who knows how to do the job, and just wants the trust, support, and environment to do it well - this is worth a conversation.

At Talent International, we're continuing to grow our contract recruitment capability across core technology markets, supporting organisations through complex change and transformation. We're hiring Senior and Principal Consultants who want to focus on performance, relationships, and delivery - not internal noise.

The Opportunity

This is a role built for proven contract billers.

You'll be trusted to:

  • Build and grow a contract book in the technology markets you know best
  • Partner with clients on genuine transformation programmes
  • Operate with autonomy, accountability, and commercial ownership

You'll be backed by a business that:

  • Fuses human experience with cutting-edge recruitment technology
  • Operates as part of a global digital staffing platform with deep candidate reach
  • Has mature contract infrastructure covering compliance, payroll, onboarding, and delivery
  • Works across scale-ups, consultancies, multinationals, and public sector organisations

In short: less noise, more execution.

The Environment

Talent offers a grown-up, trust-based recruitment culture:

  • Output over micromanagement
  • Flexibility built on accountability
  • Consultants treated as experts, not numbers
  • Clear progression paths without pressure to move into management

It's an environment designed for people who are self-sufficient, commercially sharp, and want to build something sustainable.

What We're Looking For
  • Senior or Principal experience in technology contract recruitment
  • Confidence running a full 360° contract desk
  • Strong billing history and long-term mindset
  • Comfortable working across complex stakeholder environments

This is not a training or delivery-only role.

What You Get (Beyond Commission)

Alongside a competitive base salary and uncapped commission, Talent provides a benefits package designed to support long-term performance and wellbeing, including:

  • Pension: 4% employer contribution (with salary sacrifice option for tax efficiency)
  • Private Medical Insurance, dental and healthcare options via flexible benefits
  • Death in Service and Permanent Health Insurance
  • Enhanced family support, including paid maternity and paternity benefits
  • Wellbeing and mental health support via EAP and wellbeing apps
  • Learning and development tailored to you, with clear promotion gateways
  • An additional Talent Time Out day focused on health and wellbeing

These are designed to support performance over the long term, not just tick boxes.

Interested?

If you're open to a confidential, no-pressure conversation about whether this environment is right for you, we'd love to talk.

£30000 - £50000/year
