North East and North Yorkshire
, working closely with factory and site leaders.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Acting as a true market expert and advisor within your specialism

What We're Looking For

  • An experienced recruitment consultant (or senior consultant) with a strong delivery and client track record

What's On Offer

  • Strong basic salary
    reflective of experience

    structure
  • Flexible working hours
    with trust and autonomy
  • Clear progression and the opportunity to shape and own your market
