*RecSeekers Rec2Rec, hiring on behalf of our client
RecSeekers are working on behalf of a high performing, UK based Education recruitment business who are hiring at Senior to Principal level as they continue scaling their team.
This is a genuine step up for an experienced Education recruiter who’s doing well already, but wants something that feels newer, sharper, and more modern. Better systems, better infrastructure, and a business that actually supports you to perform at a high level without making your life harder.
There are hybrid and office based options available across the UK depending on personal circumstance and level, so whether you work best in a fast paced office environment or need more flexibility, there’s a setup here that can fit.
The opportunity
This role is designed for someone who wants more ownership, more credibility with clients, and a clearer runway to Principal level earnings.
You’ll have the autonomy to run your desk properly and take on more responsibility, but without the usual nonsense that comes with it. You’re not expected to do anyone else’s job, you’re not firefighting gaps in the business, and you’re not carrying other people’s performance. You focus on billing, building relationships, and growing a desk with real longevity.
The business is built to help you move faster and smoother day to day, with a state of the art ATS, a proper booking system, and an excellent compliance function that takes the pressure off you so you can stay focused on revenue and delivery.

What they’re looking for
* A proven track record in Education agency recruitment, Senior Consultant level or above
* Strong billing history or a clear trajectory of performance
* Confident in business development and relationship building
* Comfortable running a fast moving temp desk while developing perm opportunities
* Organised, commercially switched on, and consistent week to week
* Someone who wants progression, but also values a clean, structured environment
* A recruiter who enjoys responsibility, without being overloaded
Why this role stands out
