Recruitment Consultant

Job Description

About Third Republic:

Third Republic is a community-led recruitment agency and one of the best-known names in the Salesforce ecosystem. Since 2014 we’ve connected employers with hard-to-reach Salesforce, AI and engineering talent across permanent and contract roles, with teams in London and New York.

We work with Salesforce customers, consulting partners and ISVs. We also run one of the largest Salesforce talent networks in Latin America, helping US businesses nearshore senior talent without compromising on quality. Our consultants are regular voices at Trailblazer Community events and in the Salesforce press, and we’re proud to be known as the talent engine behind Salesforce ecosystem success.

We invest over $800k a year in our internal data and AI tech stack, and it gives our consultants a real edge. It surfaces the right clients before our competitors find them, sharpens business development, and helps you spend your time where it counts. It’s about working smarter, not harder. We also believe good recruiters do their best work when they’re trusted. You’ll get a flexible, autonomous environment where you run your desk your way. We don’t set KPIs for the sake of KPIs. We focus on results and relationships.

Why the Salesforce market?

Salesforce is the world’s #1 CRM, with 150,000+ customers and over $41bn in annual revenue. Its ecosystem keeps creating new specialisms. Agentforce AI, Data Cloud and the industry clouds are generating job titles that didn’t exist two years ago, and there aren’t enough experienced specialists to fill them.

It’s also a market built to last. CRM runs how a business sells to and serves its customers, so it’s one of the last things companies cut when budgets tighten. Salesforce kept growing its revenue through the 2022–23 tech downturn, and every new product release starts another hiring cycle. For a recruiter, that means steady demand and repeat clients.

The role

We’re looking for driven, commercially minded people with a sales background to join our team as Recruitment Consultants focused on the Salesforce market. You’ll run a full 360 desk and build your own business, with the backing of an established brand and network.
