Recruitment Consultant or above

Contract Technology desk | London, Cheapside

Hybrid | Salary dependant on experience

Your New Role and Team:

You will specialise in placing Technology professionals across the private sector in London. The specific technology vertical will be determined following interview or dependant on your background as we are hiring 7x consultants across multiple areas of our Technology practice.

Experience in technology contract recruitment is essential. On top of this, you’ll receive comprehensive training and ongoing support from a highly experienced team, including specialist guidance from our Technology Director with 20+ years’ market expertise. You’ll also benefit from strong existing client relationships, but success in this role requires a proactive and strategic approach to business development. A significant part of your time will be spent engaging new clients and promoting our recruitment services through meetings and virtual channels.

Your role will be an equal mix of candidate and client engagement. In a skill-short market, you’ll need to demonstrate innovative ways to attract top Technology talent and deliver an exceptional candidate experience from initial contact through to appointment and beyond.

Your objectives will focus on three key themes:

  • Be visible and build relationships in the respective technology market
  • Convert candidate relationships into client relationships
  • Establish a reputation as a true subject matter recruiting expert

The benefit of joining this well-established team is the opportunity to collaborate with high-performing individuals who collectively bring hundreds of years of recruitment experience. They are true specialists in their sectors, with an impeccable reputation. This creates an exceptional environment for the right individual to make an immediate impact on their own desk and be financially rewarded.

What you’ll get in return:

At Hays, we know that recruitment can be demanding and competitive. However, as the market leader, Hays offers you the best training in the industry to support you in your development from Manager, Senior Manager and beyond. You will receive classroom training and on-the-job coaching from highly knowledgeable consultants which will enable you to develop a lasting and successful career. We believe in recognising success, so not only do we promote from within, but you will be rewarded with uncapped commission and unrivalled incentives and benefits.

In addition, you will enjoy:

  • Uncapped individual commission paid upon invoice every 4 weeks
  • Regular performance-based incentive programmes including all-expense paid international trips
  • A culture underpinned with trust, which is based on expertise, training, collaboration, inclusivity and doing the right thing
  • Industry-leading learning and development to maximise your performance and advance your career every step of the way
  • A global brand with established PSL agreements and warm client relationships
  • An adult approach to working with hybrid working models and flexible working hours
  • The opportunity to work in any of our 32 other countries through our global mobility offering
  • Diverse range of employee support networks, wellbeing initiatives and wider benefits

We know talented people want to work with the best: people, brand, tools, technology and infrastructure. They also want career development. Our culture is shaped and created by these features. We also know our people want to do interesting and meaningful work, increasingly in an organisation that is purpose led. This is demonstrated in the work we have done through our commitment to DE&I, Net Zero and our global volunteering and fundraising programme, ‘Helping for your tomorrow’.
