Job Description

Job Title

Recruitment Consultant - Data & AI

Location: London or Remote

Level: Mid-level

The Opportunity

We're hiring a Recruitment Consultant to specialise in Data, AI, and Machine Learning hiring.

This role exists because our clients need recruiters who genuinely understand technical roles - not just the job titles, but the nuance behind them. You'll work with engineering-led businesses who value strong recruitment partnerships and expect their recruiters to operate as consultants, not CV-forwarders.

If you're currently recruiting technical roles and feel underutilised, over-managed, or boxed into volume-driven processes, this role is designed to feel different.

What You'll Be Responsible For

This is a full-cycle, consultative recruitment role with a focus on quality outcomes.

You will:

  • Manage end-to-end recruitment processes across Data, AI, ML, and Analytics roles
  • Partner closely with technically competent hiring managers to scope roles accurately
  • Advise clients on market conditions, candidate availability, and hiring strategy
  • Build and maintain long-term relationships with both clients and candidates
  • Develop and grow your own specialist desk within Data & AI
  • Deliver consistent, high-quality hires rather than high-volume activity

There is minimal admin, no KPI theatre, and no expectation to "sell for the sake of it."

What Makes This Role Different
  • High trust environment - autonomy over how you run your desk
  • Quality-first approach - fewer roles, better briefs, stronger relationships
  • Flexible working - London-based or fully remote
  • Clear progression - transparent development path based on performance, not politics
  • Adult culture - no buzzwords, no micromanagement, no unnecessary meetings

Your expertise is respected, and your results speak for themselves.

Who We're Looking For

This role is ideal for someone who:

  • Has mid-level experience as a Recruitment Consultant
  • Has non-negotiable experience recruiting technical roles
  • Has exposure to or a strong interest in Data, AI, ML, or Analytics recruitment
  • Is commercially aware and comfortable managing client relationships
  • Wants to be recognised as a specialist, not just another generalist recruiter

This is not a trainee or entry-level position.

What's on Offer
  • Competitive base salary + uncapped commission
  • London or remote working flexibility
  • Clear career progression and desk ownership
  • Supportive, low-ego leadership
  • A role designed for recruiters who want to do their best work - not just more work
