Principal Recruitment Consultant

You've Proven You Can Do This. Now Do It Where It Counts You're competitive. You've built a desk. You've got the track record, the relationships, and resilience to back it up. You know how to win. But you're probably also at the point where the basics aren't enough anymore. You don't need another company teaching you how to recruit; you need one that's built to help you do it better, bigger and at a higher level - and that's where we come in. Phaidon International is a multi-award-winning talent partner, backed by private equity and entering our most ambitious growth phase yet. With six specialist brands operating in high-demand markets, we focus on sectors where great talent is always needed - and where top recruiters can consistently perform. What You'll Be Doing Client Development You've already won clients, and you know what good looks like. You'll build on your existing experience to develop relationships with hiring managers and business leaders - not just filling roles but becoming a trusted partner in their growth. Candidate Engagement You're confident leading from the front: driving conversations, influencing decisions, and building long-term relationships with high-performing candidates. Here, you will take that one step further - building a consistent, high-quality pipeline through a proactive approach and credibility in your space. End to end Process Management You'll own the full recruitment lifecycle, from initial brief through to offer negotiation and post-placement support. You'll deliver a seamless, high-quality experience that keeps both clients and candidates coming back, not because they have to, but because they choose to. Embrace Technology and Data We don't replace judgement and relationship building with technology and tools - but we do invest where it will add value to how you do that better. Our approach to marketing and technology is market-leading and we are truly creating something special. We're investing heavily in our platform and hiring expertise from leading technology companies to amplify our reach and access. Paired with real-time market insight and data, it means less admin, more impact, and the ability to move faster than anywhere else you've worked before. What We're Looking For You're not looking for someone to teach you recruitment.
