We're looking for experienced recruitment consultants to join Bowhill Recruitment on a self-employed, commission-only basis across a number of UK and European desks.
This isn't a traditional agency role. There's no salary, no micromanagement and no targets. You work your desk, your way — and you keep the majority of what you bill.
The commission split starts at 60%. For senior consultants with a strong, proven billing history, we can go up to 70–80% depending on experience and track record.
We are currently recruiting across UK and European desks covering : Entertainment, Music, Events, Sports, Hospitality, Leisure and Travel. The European language(s) you speak will determine which region you work.
What you'll do:
* Win and develop client relationships in your chosen sector
* Manage the full recruitment process from brief to placement
* Source, screen and present candidates independently
* Build repeat business and long-term client relationships
What we're looking for:
* Minimum 18 months agency or in-house recruitment experience with a consistent billing record
* Genuine knowledge of and passion for your chosen sector
* Proven ability to make placements and generate fees independently
* Comfortable working without a base salary
* Own a limited company or willing to operate as a self-employed sole trader
* Eligible to work in the UK or Europe depending on the desk
What you'll get:
* 60% commission on every fee you generate — rising to 70–80% for high billers
* Payment within 72 hours of invoice clearing
* Full flexibility - work the hours that suit you
* The backing of a specialist niche brand in a growing market
* Real progression as the business scales
If you're billing consistently and want to keep more of what you earn, get in touch.
