Recruitment Consultant

Insurance / Professional Services

Billericay, Essex – Hybrid (3–4 days office, WFH Wednesdays)

Are you looking to join a collaborative recruitment business where you’re treated as a person, not a number? We’re an established, people-first agency (founded in 2012) specialising in insurance and professional services recruitment. With no micromanagement, no KPI obsession, and a genuinely supportive team culture, this is the perfect move if you want to run your desk like your own business – with the security of a close-knit team behind you.

About Us

  • Established over a decade ago, we cover underwriting, claims, compliance, risk, credit, HR, and regional markets.

  • Team of 7 experienced recruiters and consultants.

  • We work collaboratively with no client ownership politics – everyone contributes to collective success.

  • Based in a converted barn just outside Billericay (parking provided, car required).

The Role

We’re looking for a Recruitment Consultant (perm focus) to join our growing team. While insurance market experience is ideal, we’re also open to consultants from professional services (finance, medical, corporate) backgrounds – just not high-volume temp/contract sectors.

You’ll have the freedom to build your desk without being burdened by rigid KPIs. Success here is measured by relationships, quality of delivery, and sustainable billings.

What We Offer

  • Clear earning trajectory:

    • Year 1: £90k target billings

    • Year 2: £120k target

    • Experienced recruiters: £200k+ target

  • Commission: 22.5% (with variable threshold c.£4–7k/month)

  • Quarterly bonus scheme

  • Average fees: 18%

  • Hybrid working: typically WFH every Wednesday, with flexibility

  • Supportive team culture: work alongside specialists in broking, underwriting, compliance, and marketing

  • No KPIs, no micromanagement – you’re trusted to deliver

The Culture

  • Mature, professional environment – a mix of ages and backgrounds

  • Collaborative, open, and supportive

  • Freedom to run your desk with autonomy

  • Focus on quality over volume – building long-term relationships with clients and candidates

What We’re Looking For

  • A recruiter with experience in insurance, financial services, medical, or professional services recruitment

  • Strong track record of billing, ideally £90k+ annually

  • Stable CV (we value commitment over “jumpy” moves)

  • Someone who thrives in a people-first, non-KPI-driven environment

  • Must be able to commute to our Billericay office (car essential)
