Role: Principal Recruitment Consultant

Sector: Digital & Technology

Location: Bristol (Hybrid)

Salary: Up to £40,000 basic + uncapped commission + annual bonus

I’m currently working with a growing specialist recruitment and consulting firm that delivers transformation, digital, data and technology expertise across Financial Services and Government sectors.

They’re entering a really exciting growth phase and are looking to bring in an experienced Senior or Principal Consultant to join their Contracts & Interim team in Bristol.

What stood out to me about this business is the culture. They’ve deliberately built an environment that’s very different from many larger recruitment firms — it’s high-performing, but built on trust, autonomy and fair reward, rather than heavy KPIs or micromanagement.

The Role

You’d be joining a warm contracts desk with live client relationships, while operating with a 360 mindset — developing accounts, strengthening partnerships and bringing new opportunities into the business.

The role focuses on contract and interim recruitment across:

• Business Change / Transformation
• Digital
• Data
• Technology

You’ll have the autonomy to grow your desk, build long-term client relationships and shape your market.

What They’re Looking For

They’re much more interested in track record and capability than years of experience.

Typically this role would suit someone who has:

• Strong experience operating in a 360 recruitment role
• A background in contract or interim recruitment (perm recruiters looking to transition also considered)
• Experience within business change, transformation, digital, data or technology markets
• A consistent billing history (often £150k+ GP annually)
• A proactive approach to business development and relationship building
• The ability to work autonomously and take ownership of a desk

This opportunity particularly appeals to recruiters who are performing well but feel constrained by larger agency structures.

What's On Offer:

• Salary up to £40,000 depending on experience
• Uncapped commission structure up to 30%
• Annual performance bonus
• Hybrid and flexible working
• 26 days holiday + Bank Holidays
• Healthcare & Life Assurance
• Statutory pension contribution
• Insite Gym
• Cycle to work scheme
