Recruitment Consultant — Construction & M&E
£35,000 to £45,000 + commission and bonuses | Hampton (free parking) | Flexible working
We are growing at James Lewis Ltd and looking for a Recruitment Consultant to build out our Construction and Building Services / M&E desk. The market is wide open here: it is an open book desk with no internal competition, so you can come in, choose a sector, and own it. The plan is for you to move into a Team Lead role within two years if you deliver.
What you will do
* Grow a niche market: map and own a vertical across London and the Home Counties
* Win and develop clients: outbound calls, meetings, proposals and fee negotiation
* Head-hunt and build talent pools: job boards, LinkedIn and referrals; qualify, interview and present shortlists that convert
* Run end to end processes: vacancy intake to offer management; forecast pipeline, remove blockers and protect margins
* Pitch standout talent: create demand even when roles are not live; maintain consistent, value-led contact
* Operate with rhythm: daily plans, weekly desk reviews and clean CRM usage to keep activity and outcomes on track
About you
* Commercially switched on, resilient and motivated by targets and outcomes
* Comfortable with KPIs and the natural highs and lows of sales
* Natural relationship builder with clear, confident phone and face to face communication
* Prior recruitment experience is helpful, but mindset and drive matter most
Why James Lewis
* Room to run: Construction and M&E is intentionally non-territorial, so you can pick your niche and scale it without stepping on toes
* Real progression: clear pathway to Team Lead in about 24 months based on performance
* Supportive culture: training, tools and hands on leadership without the heavy corporate feel
* Inclusive team: a genuinely diverse group with strong female representation and a broad mix of backgrounds and perspectives
Package and perks
* £35,000 to £45,000 base depending on experience
* Monthly commission and quarterly bonuses
* Flexible working
* Free parking
* 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
* Newly refurbished offices with regular incentives, socials and ongoing training
