Recruitment Consultant
What we don't have yet is someone whose full attention is on it. That's the job. This is a desk with a running start rather than a cold start — and it's a build role, not a seat-filling one. You take the division, you own it, and as the billings justify it you hire under you and build your own team.
Key Responsibilities
* Own the Volantes Renewables desk end to end — business development, client management, candidate sourcing and delivery.
* Develop the existing client base across EV charging, grid connections, HV and wind, and win new accounts alongside it.
* Work both permanent and contract placements.
* Build and maintain a candidate network across electrical, HV and renewables engineering disciplines.
* Take the lead on the Volantes Renewables brand — job adverts, LinkedIn content and market presence.
* Negotiate terms, rates and fees directly with clients.
* Set and manage the growth plan for the division, and hire into it as the billings support it.
* Mentor and manage the consultants you bring in as the team grows.
Essential Requirements
* Proven 360 recruitment experience with a demonstrable billing history.
* Comfortable owning business development — this is not a delivery-only desk.
* Strong commercial instinct: you can price a deal, defend a fee and hold a margin.
* Confident working technical or engineering-led markets, or a clear appetite to learn one properly.
* Self-directed.
* Ambition to build and lead a team rather than just hit a personal number.
* Based within reach of the Glasgow or Bournemouth office.
Desirable
* Experience recruiting in renewables, energy, utilities, electrical or construction markets.
* Contract recruitment experience alongside permanent.
* Previous experience mentoring or managing junior consultants.
* Familiarity with Vincere or a comparable ATS.
The Package
* Strong basic + uncapped bonus — package built around the right candidate
* A warm desk — live roles and established client relationships from day one.
* Genuine ownership of the Volantes Renewables division.
* Headcount to grow into as the billings support it.
* Office choice — Glasgow or Bournemouth, with flexibility on how you work.
* Founder-led business with direct access to the directors.
* Marketing and brand support.
* A market that is growing
