Senior / Principal Recruitment Consultant - Data Science & AI - Perm Desk
About Us
Xcede Recruitment (part of the Xcede Group, based in London, Spain, Germany, Singapore, South Africa, and the US) is currently looking to hire an ambitious new Senior or Principal level Recruitment Consultant to join the Permanent Data recruitment function, specialising in Data Science, AI, and Data Engineering.
The Perm Data Team is at the heart of Xcede's offering and contains some of the company's most consistent & successful performers. Our network within this niche area spans over two decades, and you would get full access to this from day one!
Alongside the more formal training provided by the company around both market knowledge (why are energy clients interested in Time Series Modelling professionals? What are the differences in LLM usage within a conversational AI context vs a document-based entity matching project?) and recruitment process (tailored by both your Manager and the Head of L&D), you'll also be able to soak up the experience of these incredible billers.
Due to a significant uptick in both new vacancies and placements made with our clients over a consistent period, the team are keen to find another great Recruiter to continue our position as a leader of the Machine Learning & AI Recruitment space.
Data Science and Machine Learning Recruitment at Xcede
Data Science has long been a flagship desk at Xcede - check out the recommendations of our work on profiles like those belonging to Matthew J Jones (MJ), Morgan Beck, Luke Frost, Nathan Carolan, and even my own (Niall Wharton).
We're lucky to work with a huge range of companies - everyone from early-stage start-ups looking to scale quickly through to 'Tech Unicorns' with billion-dollar valuations. We also work with some of the companies who can be considered the true leaders in their field - FAANG, big banks, energy companies, huge media outlets, FTSE 100 organisations, and more. The team work on a blend of Contingent and Retained work depending on client assignments.
The need for Data Science, Data Engineering, and AI talent is clearer than ever and this has been reflected by the most urgent requests from our clients.
Alongside our recruitment efforts we also speak at Universities (UCL, Imperial, Royal Holloway), Data / Tech Bootcamps (General Assembly & others), and host our own exclusive Technical Meet-up Events to give back to the Data community (partnering with the likes of OpenAI, Bumble, Deliveroo, Farfetch, Skyscanner and Criteo on these).
We believe in relationship & expertise-based recruitment, so this is important to us and we would want any potential hire to feel the same.
