About the job
The Opportunity
We are working with an established UK tech recruitment business, operating since 2009, with a team of 17 across engineering, design, data and AI, marketing and sales, and product.
They are building a dedicated public sector desk, placing contractors into tech consultancies that deliver digital work for the UK public sector. The desk already has a strong base of live contractors and steady monthly demand from two long-standing clients, so you will be delivering from your first week.
You will be the engine of the desk: building and owning talent pools, turning briefs into shortlists quickly and learning from a consultant who has run this desk for the last year. A second hire is planned as the desk grows.
What You’ll Do
Deliver shortlists for contract roles within 48 hours of a brief landing
Build and maintain talent pools across around eight core role types, from business analysts and delivery managers to software engineers
Run screening calls and video calls to assess technical fit, public sector experience and soft skills
Source through the existing database, LinkedIn job ads, job boards and, where needed, LinkedIn Recruiter projects
Work with clients over email and Teams chat on live roles
Keep pay rates and candidate details accurate on every submission
Essential
What We’re Looking For
18 months to 3 years of agency recruitment experience
Experience recruiting at least some technical roles, ideally software engineering
Excellent written and verbal English
Highly organised, able to work at pace with limited brief information
Advantageous
Contract or contingent recruitment experience
Exposure to Java, Scala or Python hiring
Experience recruiting business analysis, delivery, product, user-centred design or data roles
Compensation & Commission
Base salary: R28,000 – R32,000/pm
Commission: Up to £500 per placement. Paid in £100 installments when the contractor hits end of month 1, 2, 3, 6, 12. Forecasting min 2 hires per month, which equates to £8k+ in year 1 and £12k+ in year 2 in terms of total comms.
