Senior recruitment consultant

Edinburgh (Hybrid - 3 days in the office, 2 days at home)

Competitive base + uncapped commission

Own your market. Deepen your expertise. Increase your impact.

At Experis, we’re building a high-performance team of specialist technology consultants, not traditional recruiters.

This is an opportunity for an experienced 360 recruiter to operate at a more senior level, owning a specialist market, building deeper client partnerships and delivering higher value, solutions‑led work, backed by a global Talent & Technology Solutions provider.

Here, you don’t just fill roles.

You work with clients to understand why demand exists, where the real challenges sit and how the right talent or delivery model creates impact.

Your market: Software Engineering

You know the Software Engineering market from the inside: the languages, the frameworks, the debates, and the people. You understand what separates a high‑performing engineering culture from one that’s struggling under technical debt. At Experis, you’ll use that knowledge to build something of genuine value: deep client partnerships, a trusted talent network and a specialism that reflects who you are in the market.

Why Experis?

We place over 62,000 technology professionals globally every year, but what truly differentiates us is our solutions‑led platform.

We help organisations solve complex workforce challenges through:

• Contingent Workforce - interim & permanent technology talent
• Academy - future talent pipelines
• Project Solutions - outcome‑based delivery
• Managed Services - scalable workforce models
• Global delivery capability and specialist SMEs

This gives you the platform to operate with greater credibility, autonomy and influence in your market.
