Contract Recruitment Consultant - M&E / Technical

Description:

Contract Recruitment Consultant - M&E / Technical
Leicester - LE19
 
£35,000 basic + monthly commission and every other Friday off
 
Are you an experienced recruiter who enjoys building relationships, creating strong candidate networks and growing accounts over time?
 
You do not need M&E recruitment experience for this role. We are looking for someone commercially sharp who knows how to build a reliable pool of candidates, stay close to clients and spot opportunities before they become urgent vacancies.
 
You will join our established Contract team, covering the East Midlands across M&E, building services, health & safety, facilities and related technical roles.
 
There is already a base to work from: warm clients, live requirements and regular three-to-nine-month contract assignments with higher value margins than other sectors. Your job is to build on that, become known in your market and grow existing client relationships into more repeat business.
 
What you will be doing

Recruiting contractors across M&E, building services, H&S, facilities and technical roles
Building strong local talent pools by skill set, location and availability
Keeping in regular contact with contractors so you know who is good, available and ready to move
Developing warm client relationships and uncovering upcoming projects, workforce gaps and future hiring needs
Managing the full recruitment process, including candidate attraction, compliance, onboarding and contractor care
Growing your desk through excellent service, consistent calls and commercial follow-up  
What we are looking for

Proven recruitment experience, ideally in contract recruitment or a fast-paced desk
You could come from engineering, construction, industrial, logistics, technical, healthcare or another candidate-led sector
Someone who understands that building a quality candidate network is the foundation of a successful desk
Confident on the phone, commercially aware and able to build rapport quickly
Strong account-management skills and a genuine interest in growing existing relationships
Organised, resilient and motivated by earning well  
What you get

£35-40k basic salary
Monthly uncapped commission, paying up to 20% of GP monthly
Realistic commission of around £10,000 in year one and £20,000 in year two, with more available for consistent performance
Warm clients and live contract work from day one
Regular three-to-nine-month assignments across a wide technical market
Every other Friday off through our nine-day fortnight on qualification
Proper training, support and a clear route to build a high-value specialist desk
A straightforward, grown-up environment where effort and results are recognised  
This is a proper opportunity for a recruiter who wants more than a cold-start desk. You will have a warm base, recurring contract demand and the freedom to build a market around you.
