RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT — IT TECHNOLOGY Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire | Hybrid Working (Target-Based) | Competitive Salary + Commission
ABOUT US
We are an established and well-regarded recruitment agency based in Middlesbrough, with a strong track record of placing IT and technology professionals across the North East. Our clients span a wide range of commerce and industry businesses — from owner-managed SMEs and privately owned companies to large corporates and everything in between.
We are a relationship-led business. That means we invest in people — our clients, our candidates, and our team. We don't do transactional. We do trusted. And that reputation has been built carefully over many years.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for an experienced recruitment consultant who shares that ethos and is ready to make their mark on a thriving desk.
THE ROLE
This is a hands-on, full 360° recruitment consultancy role focused exclusively on the IT and technology sector across the North East.

You'll be given access to a strong suite of tools and a market-leading CRM to help you identify, engage and convert your target audience — but make no mistake, this role is about people, not just process. The ability to build trust quickly and sustain long-term relationships is what sets our best consultants apart.
Hybrid working is available once you are consistently hitting your targets — we believe flexibility is earned and then fully supported.
