Your Next Mission: Driving Success in the Defence Sector 🚀

As a Recruitment Consultant in our Defence team, you’ll take ownership of a profitable desk of trusted client relationships. This is a warm, established market with huge potential, giving you the platform to drive business development while building lasting partnerships.

You’ll be supported by a highly experienced team, but with the autonomy to shape your own success. This is a true 360 role, with around 60% focused on growing and developing client accounts, and 40% on delivery. Typical roles you will cover are systems, software, embedded software, hardware, and project management.

We are looking for individuals with:

• Proven success in a 360 permanent recruitment role.
• Experience recruiting into engineering skillsets (defence experience not required).
• A sales-driven, resilient mindset with determination to achieve and exceed targets.
• Ambition to develop long-term client relationships in a high-performing market.

What’s in it for you?

• Proven earning potential – Step into a warm desk with consistent billings and great earning potential.
• Resilient, future-proof sector – Defence remains one of the most stable industries, continuing to grow even during global slowdowns.
• Strong team culture – Work alongside recruiters with 10–20+ years’ experience, who share knowledge and expertise like nowhere else.
• Unmatched client relationships – Benefit from long-standing partnerships with leading organisations that few agencies can access.
• Clear growth trajectory – Join a business on track for double-digit turnover within two years.
  

What we offer:

• A profitable warm desk with established client relationships.
• Support and mentoring from some of the most experienced recruiters in the industry.
• A high-performing yet supportive team environment.
• Incentives, socials, and rewards for high achievers.
• A competitive salary and commission structure designed to maximise your earnings.
