Recruitment & Sales Director - A rare Director-level opportunity for an exceptional recruitment leader
We’re looking for someone who can elevate a team, sharpen performance, and inject momentum into a growing multi-office recruitment business. If you thrive on leadership, love commercial challenge, and get a buzz from building people up this will hit your sweet spot.
What this leader looks like:
• Someone who lifts standards by inspiring, not intimidating.
• A visible, energetic presence who motivates naturally and isn’t afraid to get involved in the day-to-day when it matters.
• A team builder who can nurture confidence and capability while still driving high performance.
• A grounded operator with excellent recruitment craft, strong judgement, and the willingness to make calls others avoid.
• Someone commercially sharp who spots openings, pushes into new territory, and helps shape future revenue streams.
• A calm, credible voice in senior discussions able to influence direction and bring structured thinking.
• Crucially, you’ll have experience within an agency or consultancy environment — understanding the pace, dynamics, and client-led focus that drive success in this world.
What progress looks like within a year:
• The UK team is growing at pace, with clear direction and confidence.
• The European team feels energised, with a strong trajectory and new opportunities unlocked.
• Senior leadership has the headspace to focus on strategy.
• The wider team feels supported, clear on expectations, and proud of the progress being made.
The essentials:
• You bring positive energy, good judgement, and a solutions-first mindset.
• You care about people but aren’t hesitant when difficult decisions need to be made.
• You’re credible with senior stakeholders and trusted by those you lead.
• You’re hands-on, humble, and ready to get involved wherever needed.
• Ideally you’re coming from a business with healthy performance not somewhere in decline.
Who this could be perfect for:
• A rising leader ready for a bigger remit with guidance and support.
• Someone ambitious and hungry for upward progression not just another title.
• Someone whose presence lifts a room and makes people think, “Yes we want to follow this person.”
If you’re a high-impact recruitment leader who wants to shape a growing organisation and build something you’re proud of, drop me a message in confidence.
