Job Description:

Principal Recruitment Consultant | Executive Search | Life Sciences | £50,000 – £80,000 + Commission up to 50%

Fully Remote (UK) | Optional Offices in Leeds & London | Executive Search

RECSEEKERS has been retained exclusively to appoint experienced recruiters into a specialist executive search business entering an exciting new phase of growth.

With an established presence across the UK and an impressive international client base, the business has built a reputation for delivering senior appointments into some of the world’s most innovative Life Sciences organisations. Following continued investment, they’re now looking to expand their team with ambitious consultants who want to operate at the highest level of recruitment.

This opportunity sits within their Life Sciences practice, partnering with biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical technology and healthcare organisations ranging from venture-backed start-ups through to globally recognised businesses shaping the future of healthcare.

You’ll work on retained executive search assignments where quality, relationships and market expertise matter far more than volume.

The business is fully remote, giving you complete flexibility over where you work, whilst still offering modern offices in both Leeds and London for those who enjoy collaborating with colleagues in person.

The quality of the market is matched by the quality of the business.

The average consultant bills well into six figures annually, with multiple seven-figure billers across the wider organisation. Consultants are encouraged to become genuine specialists within their markets, supported by experienced leadership, established clients and an outstanding delivery platform.

Why this opportunity could work for you

  • Fully remote position with the option to work from Leeds or London offices.
  • Retained executive search model with high-value assignments.
  • Specialist Life Sciences markets including Biotech, Pharmaceuticals, MedTech and Healthcare.
  • Work with some of the world’s most exciting and innovative Life Sciences organisations.
  • Outstanding earning potential with commission of up to 50%.
  • Strong existing client base and established international reputation.
  • Significant investment supporting continued growth.
  • Clear progression into leadership and future practice-building opportunities.
  • Mature, high-performance environment built around quality rather than KPIs.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking to speak with experienced agency recruiters who have consistently delivered strong results and are looking to take the next step in their careers.

Previous Life Sciences or Executive Search experience would be advantageous but isn’t essential. We’re far more interested in individuals who know how to build lasting relationships, win business and operate credibly with senior-level clients and candidates.

If you’re looking for the freedom of working remotely or in Leeds or London, the opportunity to specialise in one of recruitment’s most resilient sectors and the chance to join a genuinely high-performing executive search business, we’d welcome a confidential conversation.

Please only apply if you’re an experienced agency recruiter with a proven billing background.
