Are you an experienced recruiter looking for a mature, performance-led environment where commission isn’t capped, and your input actually shapes the business?

We’re hiring on behalf of a high-growth Life Sciences and Clean Energy recruitment firm that blends the best of boutique culture with serious earning potential. This team is passionate about working in a sector that makes a difference – supporting some of the most innovative businesses in biotech, medical devices, and pharma across the UK, Europe, and the US.

If you're ready to leave rigid KPIs, capped commission, and big-agency politics behind, this is the move for you.

What you’ll be doing

• Owning and scaling a niche desk within the life sciences sector
• Building long-term partnerships with clients and candidates in a values-led, consultative way
• Managing the full 360 recruitment process across contingent and retained mandates
• Collaborating with a highly experienced leadership team who want you to succeed, not micromanage you

What you’ll earn

20% commission on billings

Plus quarterly kicker bonuses:

• £35k = +2.5% back to £0
• £50k = +5% back to £0
• £75k = +7.5% back to £0
• £100k = +10% back to £0

Recent case: a consultant who joined from scratch in June last year billed £126,000 in April and earned £37,100 in commission

Culture Benefits

• 1pm Friday finishes
• Hybrid working (typically 3 days in-office, 2 from home)
• Clear, fast progression plans
• Annual bonus and profit share opportunities
• Quarterly incentives, target-based trips, and a collaborative, grown-up culture

Who we’re looking for

• Recruiters with 360 success
