Recruitment Consultant – Scientific Recruitment
Location: Harrogate Town Centre / Hybrid / Remote
Network Scientific is a multi‑award‑winning scientific agency with bold growth plans and a reputation for doing things differently. For more than a decade, we’ve partnered with pioneering organisations across the scientific, healthcare, and technology sectors; from start‑ups and university spin-outs, to global blue‑chip companies.
Our vibrant, friendly, and slightly quirky culture sets us apart. As demand for our services continues to grow, we’re expanding our team and looking for ambitious, commercially minded recruiters who want to build a meaningful, rewarding career in an exciting industry.
The Role
We’re looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join our team in Harrogate (or remotely) and play a key role in our ongoing national and international expansion.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Proactively sourcing high‑quality candidates via our CRM, job boards, social media, networking, referrals, and industry events
* Building and developing your own client portfolio through marketing, social selling, business development, and relationship management
* Consulting with candidates to assess their experience, motivations, and suitability for specialist scientific roles
* Managing the full recruitment lifecycle: screening, shortlisting, coordinating interviews, handling offers, and negotiating packages
* Nurturing long‑term relationships with existing clients and supporting their permanent, contract, temporary, and executive hiring needs
What We’re Looking For
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds; our team is wonderfully diverse. To succeed in this role, you will need:
* At least 1 to 2 years of 360 recruitment agency experience
* A proactive, confident and people‑focused approach
* Positivity, resilience, ambition, and the drive to build something great
* A sense of humour and a personality that adds something special to the team
A scientific background is a bonus but not essential; what matters most is your work ethic and your willingness to learn.
What You’ll Get
* A friendly, inclusive culture built on trust, autonomy, and support
* Competitive salary + commission + bonuses + incentive schemes
* Duvet days
* Company pension
* Flexible working hours
* Homeworking options and remote‑working benefits
* Ongoing training, professional development, and industry‑leading coaching
* Regular team socials, events, and recognition awards
* A four‑week paid sabbatical during your 10th year with us
