Senior Recruitment Consultant – Permanent (360)
Financial Services & FinTech | Central London
Skillfinder International is hiring an experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant to support the continued growth of our permanent recruitment offering.
Based from our Central London office, this role offers the opportunity to work across UK, European, and global markets, partnering with clients in regulated financial services and fintech.
This is a role for a true 360 recruiter who enjoys building client relationships, delivering high-quality permanent hires, and working in a professional, market-led recruitment environment.
Why This Role Exists
Our clients are increasingly looking for trusted recruitment partners, not just CV suppliers.
As a result, Skillfinder International is strengthening its permanent recruitment capability, with a greater focus on exclusive and retained searches, deeper client relationships, and higher delivery standards across UK and international markets.
This is not a replacement role. It’s a strategic hire to support long-term growth.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Developing new business and managing existing client relationships
- Running the full 360 permanent recruitment process
- Delivering permanent roles across contingent, exclusive, and retained assignments
- Meeting clients, attending briefings, and managing recruitment processes end to end
- Using LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, networking, and referrals to source candidates
- Applying AI and recruitment automation tools to improve efficiency and delivery
- Maintaining accurate CRM usage throughout the recruitment process
- Supporting and mentoring junior consultants where appropriate
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience as a 360 recruitment consultant, ideally within permanent recruitment
- A track record of consistent billing
- Experience managing client relationships and delivering quality recruitment outcomes
- Confident use of LinkedIn as a sourcing and business development tool
- Commercial, professional, and well-organised
- Must have the right to work in the UK – sponsorship is not available for this role
Why Join Skillfinder
- Central London office with hybrid working
- Opportunity to work across UK, European, and global markets
- Competitive base salary with uncapped commission
- Annual bonus based on performance
- 25 days holiday + bank holidays (plus additional days with service)
- Pension contribution
- Private medical healthcare
- Ongoing training and development
- Investment in recruitment technology, AI, and automation
- Clear progression opportunities for high performers
