The CompanyOrion Electrotech is a multi-award-winning specialist recruitment agency that takes pride in our reputation for high standards, teamwork, and genuine dedication to building exceptional relationships with both candidates and clients alike. We partner with leading engineering and manufacturing businesses across the UK and are proud to be trusted recruitment partners on a range of long-standing managed accounts.
The RoleAre you an experienced internal recruiter, talent acquisition professional, or delivery-focused consultant who thrives on candidate engagement without the pressure of cold business development? This is an ideal next step for someone used to working with hiring managers and filling roles at pace, but who now wants the variety, tools, and rewards of an agency setting, without the sales targets.
We’re looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant to join our Reading-based delivery team, working exclusively with existing, high-value accounts. You’ll focus on fulfilling roles across engineering and manufacturing, with warm client relationships and ongoing vacancies ready for you to take ownership of.
This is not an internal recruitment role, but if you’ve worked in one, you’ll likely feel right at home here.
What You’ll Be Doing
Managing the full recruitment process from role briefing through to placement
Building strong candidate pipelines across engineering and manufacturing disciplines
Working closely with hiring managers and key account stakeholders to understand role requirements and hiring needs
Delivering a high-quality, consultative service to both candidates and clients
Supporting and mentoring more junior team members, where relevant
Proactively contributing to the continued success of our managed accounts
What You’ll Bring
Experience in internal recruitment, talent acquisition, RPO, or delivery-focused agency recruitment
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
A passion for creating great candidate experiences
Confidence managing multiple vacancies in a fast-paced environment
A team-focused mindset and genuine interest in delivering results for the wider business
What’s In It for You?
Competitive base salary & uncapped commission structure
Quarterly & annual performance incentives including 5* holidays, fine dining, and bonus schemes
Hybrid working and early Friday finishes (3pm)
Private healthcare, gym membership, and enhanced benefits
World-class tech stack including a new CRM, LinkedIn integration, and time-saving recruitment tools
Structured L&D, regular coaching, and a clear progression route into Principal or Team Lead roles
Free on-site parking, healthy breakfasts, social events, and a genuinely supportive culture
What Next?If you’re ready to move from internal recruitment into a delivery-focused agency role, or you're a consultant who loves candidate work more than cold calling, this could be a perfect fit.
