Associate Recruitment Consultant – Delegated Authority

Edenbrook is a rapidly growing insurance and investment management recruitment business. We headhunt across all job functions from junior to senior level recruiting in the UK, USA, Middle East, Asia and Europe.

We are an established, successful headhunting organisation with an enviable reputation for providing high calibre candidates to our clients in a wide range of industry sectors.

Working at Edenbrook:

When you join Edenbrook, you become part of a workplace that genuinely values career progression and development, providing a platform to grow through structured, specialised training.

We work hard and celebrate success. Individuals are rewarded through quarterly lunch clubs, overseas trips (including destinations such as Mallorca, Dublin, and Berlin), and a range of financial incentives.

We pride ourselves on our social culture, supported by a modern office environment complete with a rooftop bar.

The Role:

We are currently looking to expand our Delivery Team within the Delegated Authority desk and are seeking a driven, enthusiastic individual with strong communication skills.

The role will focus on delivering against vacancies generated by the Director, making it an excellent opportunity for someone looking to begin a career in recruitment or headhunting, without the pressure of new business development targets.

Key Responsibilities:

• Source and engage new and existing candidates via the CRM, LinkedIn, job boards, Edenbrook’s website, and referrals, both for live Corporate Governance mandates and future hiring needs.
• Build market and industry insight through structured telephone research.
• Attend candidate and client meetings alongside senior team members, with progression toward independently managing candidate meetings.
• Monitor company career pages and job boards to identify live vacancies and generate business development leads.
• Advertise and market live roles across digital platforms, including LinkedIn, the Edenbrook website, and relevant job boards.

Key Skills and Experience:

• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with an excellent telephone manner.
• Confident, motivated, and resilient, with the drive to succeed in a target-driven environment.
• Highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities.
• Intellectually curious, eager to learn, and committed to building a career in recruitment.
• Commercially and financially motivated.
• Experience in a telephone-based or customer-facing role is beneficial but not essential.
