Job description

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT - GERMAN SPEAKING

COMMISSION = Up to 40%

£50,000 SALARY

2 DAYS A WEEK IN LONDON, 3 DAYS WORK FROM HOME.

As a Recruitment Consultant specialising in Professional Services, you'll be a key bridge between high-calibre clients and exceptional candidates. You'll manage full-cycle recruitment — from business development and client acquisition through to candidate sourcing, interview coordination, placement and aftercare. Key responsibilities:

  • Meet with clients to understand their business, culture and hiring needs.
  • Draft attractive job adverts, post across relevant job boards and use social media and networking to identify and attract top talent.
  • Proactively headhunt high-performing professionals (not just the CVs on job boards) to find ideal matches.
  • Screen and interview candidates, prepare shortlists, and manage the interview and offer process — ensuring clients and candidates are fully supported and aligned.
  • Build and nurture strong relationships with both clients and candidates — acting ethically, professionally and with full confidentiality.
  • Work toward placement targets, contribute to business growth through networking and strategic outreach, and deliver a high standard of service.

You Bring

  • Excellent interpersonal, communication, and negotiation skills.
  • A proactive, self-motivated, commercially minded attitude and the drive to build relationships and close placements.
  • Strong organisation, multitasking ability and attention to detail — to manage multiple clients, candidates and processes simultaneously.
  • A genuine interest in matching talent to opportunity and delivering a great candidate and client experience.
  • Ideally, some prior experience in recruitment or sales/recruitment-related fields — though we value determination and soft skills as much as background.

Why Join Us

  • Work with a reputable, independent agency that values honest, relationship-based recruitment over volume chasing.
  • Engage with a variety of clients — from blue-chip firms to SMEs — across multiple professional sectors.
  • Opportunity to build and grow your desk: real scope for performance-driven career development and earning potential.
  • Be part of a team that takes pride in doing recruitment properly: ethically, transparently, and with purpose.
