Technical Recruitment Consultant

About Akkar

Akkar finds, moves and manages specialist talent for companies building physical technology: robotics and humanoids, physical AI and autonomy, defense, space, aviation, eVTOL, automotive and motorsport. We were founded in 2014 and have offices across the UK, US and Middle East. We’re scaling our US business, and this hire helps set its standard.

The role

You own a US desk end to end. You win the clients, run the searches and close the hires. You’ll be one of the most senior billers in North Carolina, and the consultants around you will measure themselves against you.

What you’ll do

• Build and own a US market in a frontier tech niche, from first meeting to signed offer
• Win new accounts with founders, CTOs and engineering leaders at scaling hardware companies
• Deliver contingent, retained and contract searches for scarce engineering and leadership talent
• Use our proprietary AI tooling and market intelligence to move faster than competitors
• Coach consultants and help shape how we grow in North America

What you bring

• $350k+ in annual billings in a 360 recruitment role
• Experience placing engineers or technical leaders in hardware, deep tech, defense or a related market
• A network you can activate, or the drive to build one fast
• Commercial judgment: you know which roles to take and which to walk away from
• Bonus: retained search, contract delivery, or hiring for ITAR-controlled programs

What you get

• Strong base, uncapped commission
• A defined career framework with routes into leadership or senior account management
• AI tools built for recruiters, not bolted on
• Incentive trips for top billers
• Health, 401(k), PTO matching our global business
