🌟 Senior / Principal Recruitment Consultant – Data & AI (US Market) | Knutsford (Hybrid, 3 Days Onsite) 🌟


Are you an experienced recruiter ready to maximise your earning potential in one of the most buoyant and high-value markets in the world?


KDR Talent Solutions is expanding its US Data & AI practice, and we’re looking for a Senior or Principal Recruitment Consultant to take ownership of a thriving, high-fee market where average placements exceed £30,000.


If you're an established 360 recruiter seeking bigger fees, a less saturated market, and faster progression, this is the opportunity to build and scale a highly lucrative desk with the backing of one of the UK's most respected data recruitment brands.


🚀 Why the US Data & AI Market?

Because it's FAST, it's BOOMING, and it's where the money is.

* Average fees of £30K+
* Clients move quickly with short hiring cycles
* Massive demand for senior Data, AI, and Engineering talent
* A market far less saturated than the UK—and double the earning potential


This is the perfect environment for an experienced recruiter who wants to own a high-performing vertical and scale it into a seven-figure desk.


🧠 About KDR Talent Solutions

For nearly 25 years, KDR has been the Original Data Recruiter, connecting elite Data, Analytics, and now AI talent with world-leading organisations.


Our US presence has grown rapidly over the past decade, supported by:

* Deep industry credibility
* Long-standing relationships across Data, Engineering, ML, & AI
* A proven track record of placing senior and specialist talent globally


You’ll join a high-performing team with the platform, tech, brand, and investment to accelerate your desk from day one.


🔍 The Role

As a Senior / Principal Consultant, you will:

* Grow a highly lucrative US Data & AI vertical
* Develop new business and nurture warm client relationships
* Deliver high-value searches for senior technical and leadership roles
* Operate with autonomy while contributing to wider growth strategy
* Position yourself as a true market specialist through insight-driven recruitment


This is not an entry-level role—this is an opportunity to run your own business within a business, with the earning potential to match.


⭐ About You

We’re looking for someone who:

* Is an experienced 360 recruiter (any vertical) with a consistent billing track record
* Thrives in high-value, relationship-driven recruitment
* Is commercially intelligent, competitive, and self-driven
* Wants to operate in a fast-moving, high-fee US market
* Enjoys building deep client relationships at senior levels
* Is ambitious to grow into a Principal / Team Lead / US specialist role


Experience recruiting in tech, data, AI, engineering, or US markets is a bonus, but not essential for outstanding performers.


💰 What We Offer

* Market-leading uncapped commission structure
* A platform proven to generate £30K+ fees consistently
* Hybrid working: 3 days in our Knutsford HQ
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off
* 2 “sh*t happens” days
* Annual incentive trips (Spain, Portugal, Budapest…)
* Quarterly achievers’ lunches
* Healthcare
* Flexible working hours
* Genuine career progression to Principal, Lead, or Management


If you're a high-performing recruiter looking for bigger fees, bigger opportunity, and bigger earnings, the US Data & AI market is where you should be—and we’d love to speak with you.
