About ECM Talent
ECM Talent is a specialist contractor recruitment business operating exclusively within FMCG, commercial manufacturing, and pharma across Europe. We place high-value SAP, Data & Analytics, MES, Digital Supply Chain, and Connected Worker specialists into some of the most recognisable consumer goods and industrial manufacturing brands on the continent.
We are a Tier 1 supplier to major European manufacturers with an established contractor network, proven delivery capability, and over 13 years of sector expertise. We are now looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant to help drive the next phase of our growth.
The Opportunity
This is a genuinely commercial role — not a purely delivery-focused desk. You will have real ownership of a defined market, working directly alongside the Director, with full visibility of the business and where it is going.
The split is roughly 60% business development and 40% delivery. You will be expected to win new clients, not just service existing ones. In return, you will have a competitive base, an uncapped commission structure that rewards performance at every level, and a clear BD bonus for every new logo you bring in.
Key Responsibilities
* Identify and approach target clients across FMCG, food & beverage, consumer goods, and manufacturing
* Generate new business through LinkedIn, direct outreach, referrals, and your own network
* Manage and grow existing client relationships, understanding their contractor and project hiring needs
* Run end-to-end contractor recruitment across SAP, Data & Analytics, and Digital Supply Chain disciplines
* Build and maintain a pipeline of specialist contractors across ECM's core technology areas
* Contribute to ECM's growth strategy and market positioning
* Work autonomously to hit monthly billing targets and annual GP goals
What We Are Looking For
* Minimum 3–5 years in contract or contingent recruitment with a genuine BD track record
* Clients you have won from scratch — not just inherited or serviced
* Experience in SAP, technology, or supply chain recruitment strongly preferred
* Sector knowledge across FMCG, manufacturing, or pharma a significant advantage
* Comfortable operating in a boutique environment with autonomy and commercial ownership
* Articulate, commercially sharp, and motivated by building something with long-term upside
* Confident on the phone, strong on LinkedIn, and disciplined in outreach
