At Stafffinders, we’re on the hunt for a Principal Recruitment Consultant with enough energy to power a small city, an attitude that keeps you and others smiling, and the kind of ambition that turns “good” into “phenomenal”.

If you’re dynamic, outgoing, and happiest when you’re building relationships—whether over the phone, over coffee, or in a room full of complete strangers—you’re already ticking our boxes.

What you will get

• Highly competitive salary of £40,000 to £45,000 d.o.e.,
• Achievable and competitive individual bonus opportunities,
• Time in lieu,
• Birthday day off every year,
• Length of service benefits such as extra days’ holiday and private healthcare,
• Paid volunteering days,
• Cycle to Work and Tech discount scheme,
• Autonomy in your role.

And we aren’t done yet…
As well as the above benefits, we offer fantastic performance-related incentives and competitions. Upcoming prizes include a week-long trip to Paris, in a fantastic 3-bedroom cottage close to Disneyland Paris (flights included)!

Listening to our colleagues and letting everyone share their ideas is also extremely important. We offer a supportive and collaborative team culture and are always open-minded to new concepts and suggestions for the business, allowing everyone’s creative juices to flow.

What you’ll be doing (AKA: why you’ll never be bored)
As a Principal Recruitment Consultant, you’ll play a key role in steering the success of your division and shaping our next generation of consultants. You should love:

• Getting out and meeting people,
• Adapting to all kinds of personalities,
• Leading, inspiring, coaching and celebrating wins—big and small,
• Building a team culture that’s fun, supportive and seriously high-performing.

If you’re someone who thrives on variety, ideas and human connection, you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll bring to the party
Commercial? Industrial? Hospitality? Something entirely different? If you’ve got the recruitment chops, we’re open-minded—and we mean that. You might be a seasoned consultant who gets a buzz from seeing others smash their goals, or a natural mentor who wants to shape consultants into absolute stars, or someone who loves running their own high-performing desk like a mini business. Either way, we’ll back you in the direction you want to grow. 
To be considered, we are ideally looking for the following recruitment experience:

• 3+ years of proven recruitment consultancy success,
• Deep market insight in your specialist areas,
• Real relationship-building power (clients trust you, candidates love you),
• Advanced talent sourcing skills,
• Sharp interviewing instincts and assessment know-how.
