The Opportunity
Are you an experienced Recruitment Consultant looking for a fresh challenge, greater earning potential and the opportunity to make a genuine impact within a specialist recruitment business?
At Zitko Group, we’re looking for a commercially driven Recruitment Consultant to join our established Permanent Recruitment team.
We specialise in recruitment across the Fire, Security and Technology sectors, partnering with businesses ranging from specialist integrators to major international organisations.
Ideally, you’ll already have recruitment experience within one of these industries. However, we’re equally interested in speaking with successful recruiters from other technical, engineering or similarly transferable recruitment markets.
This is an opportunity to develop your own client relationships, grow a successful permanent recruitment desk and work alongside an experienced, supportive team.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Managing the full 360 recruitment process, from business development and vacancy qualification through to placement.
- Building and developing relationships with new and existing clients.
- Identifying, engaging and placing talented professionals within specialist technical markets.
- Proactively generating new business opportunities and developing your client portfolio.
- Managing interviews, offers and negotiations while delivering an excellent candidate experience.
- Working collaboratively with the wider team, sharing market intelligence and supporting business growth.
What We’re Looking For
We’re keen to speak with ambitious, motivated recruitment professionals who enjoy both the relationship-building and commercial aspects of recruitment.
Essential requirements:
- Previous experience in agency recruitment, ideally within a 360 recruitment environment.
- A proven background in sales, business development or generating recruitment revenue.
- Confidence building client relationships and developing new business opportunities.
- Strong communication, negotiation and organisational skills.
- A proactive, self-motivated approach with a genuine desire to succeed.
- The ability to work independently while contributing positively to a team.
Desirable experience:
- Recruitment experience within Fire, Security, Technology, Engineering or other specialist technical markets.
- An established network of clients or candidates within a relevant sector.
- Experience managing permanent recruitment vacancies from initial briefing through to successful placement.
Please note: This position is aimed at experienced recruitment and sales professionals. Unfortunately, we are not considering applicants without previous recruitment or relevant sales experience for this particular opportunity.
What’s on Offer?
- Competitive basic salary circa £40,000, negotiable depending on experience.
- Uncapped commission through a tiered earnings structure.
- Hybrid working between our St Neots office and flexible work-from-anywhere options.
- 25 days’ annual leave, plus bank holidays and Christmas shutdown.
- Private health insurance.
- Enhanced maternity and paternity leave.
- Sabbatical leave after qualifying service.
- Electric Vehicle (EV) Car Scheme.
- Ongoing training, development and support from an experienced leadership team.
- A collaborative working environment where individual success and team achievements are equally valued.
- Additional company benefits.
Why Join Zitko?
We’re an established specialist recruitment business with an excellent reputation across our markets.
We believe successful recruitment is built on relationships, industry knowledge and delivering genuine value to clients and candidates.
You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of your desk, develop long-term partnerships and be rewarded for your performance, without losing the benefits of working within a supportive and collaborative team.
Whether you’re already operating within Fire & Security recruitment or looking to transfer your experience from another specialist market, we’d welcome a conversation.
Interested?
