About the role

Ready to build something meaningful in recruitment?
At peoplefusion, we’re not just filling jobs - we’re building careers, strengthening businesses, and creating long-term partnerships.

We’re growing our Business Support hub and looking for a Recruitment Consultant who enjoys connecting with people, building trusted relationships, and delivering great results, with the autonomy to truly own their desk.

This is a true 360 role, working across both temporary and permanent recruitment, with strong internal collaboration and support.

We’re particularly keen to connect with someone locally based, with strong networks across the region, who understands the market and enjoys being out in it, building relationships, spotting opportunities, and staying close to clients and candidates.

What you’ll be doing

  • Manage end-to-end recruitment across business support roles, with dedicated support from a Talent Specialist and Admin Coordinator

  • Partner closely with clients to understand their needs and deliver tailored solutions

  • Source, interview and present high-quality candidates

  • Manage the full recruitment lifecycle - from brief to placement

  • Deliver both fast-paced temp solutions and longer-term permanent placements

  • Build and maintain strong, active candidate pipelines

Relationship building & business growth

  • Build strong, long-term client partnerships

  • Act as a trusted advisor on market insights, salary expectations and hiring strategies

  • Partner with the broader team to identify opportunities and support client growth

What you’ll bring

  • Experience in recruitment, relationship management or a diverse client-facing role

  • Commercial mindset with a drive to grow your desk

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment

  • Resilience, adaptability and a solutions-focused approach

  • A collaborative, team-first mindset

  • Strong local networks and a genuine interest in the regional market (highly regarded)

Why join peoplefusion?

  • An integrated desk spanning temp and perm recruitment for real variety

  • A collaborative, high-performing team that genuinely backs each other

  • The chance to build something of your own while growing your career

  • A business built on strong relationships and quality outcomes

  • A genuinely people-first culture, internally and externally

  • We celebrate the wins (big and small) with recognition, team events and Christmas parties worth showing up for!
