IT Recruitment Consultant / Senior Recruitment Consultant

Dual Desk (Permanent & Contract) | Warm IT Clients

The Opportunity

We’re looking to hire an IT Recruitment Consultant or Senior Recruitment Consultant to take ownership of a warm, established technology desk following a recent internal move. This is a genuine opportunity to inherit existing IT clients, ongoing relationships, and live recruitment demand across both permanent and contract hiring.

This is not a cold start. You’ll step into a desk with momentum, credibility, and the freedom to develop it further in a way that suits your strengths alongside other markets.

The Role

This is a full 360, dual‑desk position, covering both permanent and contract IT recruitment. You’ll manage roles end to end while acting as a trusted partner to clients and candidates.

Your role will include:

Taking over and developing existing IT client relationships which accounts for 50% of their current billings
Managing live permanent and contract roles across the technology market (software, data, cloud, infrastructure, AV, PM, BA's etc.)
Qualifying requirements and advising on market conditions, rates, availability, and hiring strategy
Sourcing, engaging, and managing IT professionals through the full recruitment lifecycle
Growing accounts through repeat business, extensions, and new hiring needs

You’ll have strong internal support but the autonomy to run your desk like your own business.

About You

You’ll have previous experience running a 360 recruitment desk within IT ideally, with exposure to perm, contract, or both, and an appetite to work a dual‑desk model.

Consultant level – confident managing roles independently and building relationships with candidates and hiring managers

Senior Consultant level – proven billing track record, strong client ownership, and the credibility to advise rather than simply take orders

You’re organised, commercially aware, and comfortable operating in a fast‑moving IT recruitment environment.

Why Join Us

Modern open plan Edinburgh city centre office, this role combines immediate earning potential from a warm IT desk with long‑term growth and progression. Performance is recognised and rewarded, not just measured against activity.

Alongside a competitive salary and uncapped commission that is margin lead, we offer:

Quarterly incentive schemes recognising top performance and consistency
Hybrid working model – 3 days in the office, 2 days from home
Generous holiday allowance, plus your birthday off and an excellent benefits package
Supportive, experienced leadership and within a collaborative working culture
Clear progression based on results rather than tenure
