Principal Recruitment Consultant

About the Job

​​As Principal Recruitment Consultant, you will be a fundamental addition to the Stafffinders team so we’re looking for someone with the determination to elevate their career to the next level. To succeed in this role, you should be outgoing, adaptable to different individuals, and willing to pick up the phone and get out and meet people. Alongside this, you should have a desire to nurture and develop your team of Recruitment Consultants and Junior members to create a robust and successful team. 

Whether your background is in Commercial, Industrial, IT or another recruitment sector, you could be just what we are looking for. We are very much open-minded.

As a great leader, you can progress from Principal Recruitment Consultant to Recruitment Divisional Manager and manage your own team. Or, you may prefer to look after your own desk and focus on pushing yourself to success. If so, you can progress from Principal Recruitment Consultant to Recruitment Business Manager.
