Job Description:

Recruitment Consultant – Estate Agency Sector | Hybrid

Cape Consulting Group is hiring for a specialist recruitment consultancy serving the estate agency and property sector. Following a recent change of ownership, we’re re-energising the business — and we’re looking for a recruiter who wants to build something, not just maintain it.

The role

You’ll take over a small existing book of live roles and client queries from day one, so there’s income and momentum to work with immediately. But the real opportunity here is growth: we have a strong bank of previous clients who’ve gone quiet, and we need someone who’ll get back on the phone, re-open relationships, and turn dormant contacts into active business. This is a genuine mix of delivery and business development — not a BD role dressed up as a recruitment job, and not a desk-sitting 360 role either. You’ll do both, and shape how much weight sits on each as the business grows.

What you’ll be doing

  • Managing and progressing current live vacancies and candidate queries
  • Proactively reaching out to former and dormant clients to reignite relationships
  • Business development — identifying and winning new estate agency clients
  • Full 360 recruitment: sourcing, screening, and placing candidates into estate agency roles
  • Helping shape the direction of the business as it scales back up

What we’re looking for

  • Recruitment experience is essential; sector experience in estate agency, property, or a related field is a strong advantage but not a dealbreaker
  • Comfortable picking up the phone for new business, not just account management
  • Self-starter energy — you’ll have real autonomy and a real say in how this grows
  • Resilient and target-driven, but genuinely relationship-focused rather than purely transactional

What’s on offer

  • c£70,000 OTE with unlimited upside potential (details on application/at interview)
  • Hybrid working
  • A live desk from day one, plus real scope to grow your own patch and progress as the business does
  • The chance to build a business, not just work in one
