Senior / Principal Recruitment Consultant – Finance – Move from Contingent into Search

If you’ve built a strong contingent recruitment career but want bigger deals, deeper client relationships and a more consultative model, this is the move.

You’ll join a specialist executive search environment focused on senior hires across strategy, transformation, corporate finance, M&A and leadership roles — typically within private-equity backed and high-growth businesses.

This is true search:

  • Retained mandates
  • C-suite and leadership hiring
  • High-impact, business-critical appointments

Why consider this move:

  • Clear transition from contingent to retained search
  • Access to established client relationships and networks
  • More strategic, less transactional recruitment
  • Strong training and mentorship in executive search methodology

The role:

  • Partner with PE-backed and scaling businesses on leadership hires
  • Build trusted senior client relationships
  • Develop deep candidate networks at leadership level

You’ll likely be:

  • A successful contingent recruiter (2–6 years ideal)
  • Commercially sharp but wanting a more consultative approach
  • Motivated by larger fees and long-term client partnerships

If you’ve hit a ceiling in contingent recruitment and want to operate at a more strategic level, this is a serious step up.
