The Person

• You're an experienced Contracts Recruiter who thrives in a fast-paced, relationship-led environment.
• While a background in marketing recruitment is a bonus, it's your interest in the space - from digital to creative -that matters most.
• You're proactive, accountable, and energised by winning business and building genuine client connections.
• You're consultative, engaging, and switched-on.
• Someone with recent results to prove they can hit the ground running.

• This is a boutique recruitment business of c.20 people, with an elite, quality-first mindset and a strong track record across marketing, media, creative, and sales recruitment.
• They operate across Contingent, Embedded, and Contract models — and 2025 is the year Contract takes centre stage.
• Their leaders are experienced, hands-on, and invested in your success.
• Data and KPIs are tracked, but with maturity and coaching instead of micromanagement.
• They're pushing for £1m EBIT this year to unlock growth and investment — and they're nearly there already.
• Culture matters here. You'll work three days a week in a buzzy, collaborative office, with total flexibility on start/finish times, generous wellbeing perks, and a real emphasis on treating people like grown-ups.

The Role:

• This is an incredible opportunity to join a growing Contract team at the early stages of its expansion into the client-side/brand space.
• With 60+ existing client relationships in consumer-facing businesses, you'll have warm doors to open and full ownership of marketing/media contract hires across all things Marketing and Media – including Marketing Performance, Marketing Growth, Content, Creative, and more.
• You'll be supported by the board and coached closely by senior leadership, with a clear path for career progression.
• Think 2–4-month contract bookings (not day-rate freelancers or 12-month gigs), and all the tools you need to run a high-performing desk: LinkedIn Recruiter, SourceWhale, Firefish, and embedded business development strategies that work.
