Job Description
Recruitment Consultant – Executive Search | MedTech, Life Sciences & Chemicals
Cheshire
£35,000 – £50,000 DOE + Market-Leading Commission
Our client is a leading Executive Search and Headhunting firm with a 25+ year legacy of placing high-impact professionals across the MedTech, Life Sciences, and Chemicals sectors. They don’t chase the quickest win – their consultants are trusted advisors who know their markets deeply and deliver real value to clients through permanent, often retained, search mandates.
They are growing, and are now looking for a driven Permanent Recruitment Consultant to join their high-performing team.
What You'll Be Doing:
* Managing and developing a warm desk across sectors like Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, and Life Sciences, from £50k Sales Professionals to £200k+ Executive mandates
* Delivering high-quality, search-led recruitment – this is not KPI-heavy contingent recruitment
* Building strong, consultative relationships with clients and candidates
* Getting out from behind the desk – client visits are frequent and encouraged
* Supporting and learning from some of the most experienced exec search professionals in the industry
Who We're Looking For:
* An experienced permanent recruiter – you must be able to evidence this
* Proven experience in headhunting, retained search, or building desks in difficult-to-fill markets
* People who’ve worked in talent-short sectors and know how to dig deep – not just surface-level CV sifting
* Strong client-facing confidence and intellectual curiosity
What You’ll Get in Return:
* £35k–£50k basic salary, depending on experience
* Industry-leading commission structure – around a third of everything you bill
* Mond – Thurs office based/ Friday WFH
* Long service rewards – 5–10 year tenure is the norm here
* Outward-bound and team reward events – work hard, play hard culture
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays + Christmas shutdown
