Senior / Principal Contract Recruitment Consultant

For a complete understanding of this opportunity, and what will be required to be a successful applicant, read on.

If you’re an experienced recruiter who knows how to do the job, and just wants the trust, support, and environment to do it well – this is worth a conversation.

At Talent International, we’re continuing to grow our technology recruitment capability across core markets, supporting organisations through complex change and transformation. We’re hiring Senior and Principal Consultants who want to focus on performance, relationships, and delivery – not internal noise.

The Opportunity

This is a role built for proven billers.

You’ll be trusted to:

  • Build and grow a desk in the technology markets you know best
  • Partner with clients on requirements with a long term mindset
  • Operate with autonomy, accountability, and commercial ownership

You’ll be backed by a business that:

  • Fuses human experience with cutting-edge recruitment technology
  • Operates as part of a global digital staffing platform with deep candidate reach
  • Has mature infrastructure covering compliance, payroll, onboarding, and delivery
  • Works across private sector, consultancies, multinationals, and public sector organisations

The Environment

Talent offers a grown-up, trust-based recruitment culture:

  • Flexibility built on accountability
  • Consultants treated as experts, not numbers
  • Clear progression paths – without pressure to move into management

It’s an environment designed for people who are self-sufficient, commercially sharp, and want to build something sustainable.

What We’re Looking For

  • Senior or Principal experience in technology recruitment
  • Confidence running a full 360° desk
  • Strong billing history and long-term mindset
  • Comfortable working across complex stakeholder environments

This is not a training or delivery-only role.

What You Get (Beyond Commission)

Alongside a competitive base salary and uncapped structured commission scheme, Talent provides a benefits package designed to support long-term performance and wellbeing, including:

  • Pension: 4% employer contribution (with salary sacrifice option for tax efficiency)
  • Private Medical Insurance, dental & healthcare options via flexible benefits
  • Death in Service & Permanent Health Insurance
  • Enhanced family support, including paid maternity and paternity benefits
  • Wellbeing & mental health support via EAP and wellbeing apps
  • Learning & development tailored to you, with clear promotion gateways
  • An additional Talent Time Out day focused on health and wellbeing

These are designed to support performance over the long term, not just tick boxes.
