Associate Senior Consultant

This Associate Senior Consultant role is client‑first and outcome‑based. You’ll be operating within a consulting environment rather than an agency model - using structured methods, insight and advisory thinking to deliver results. It will appeal to:

• Agency recruiters who want to work in a more structured, advisory and embedded way.
• In‑house recruiters who want greater variety across brands, stakeholders and markets.

Join a collaborative delivery team working on engagements where structured methodology, high‑touch candidate experience and tangible outcomes matter. As part of a consulting business, you’ll also gain exposure to broader people strategy and leadership priorities across different clients.

You will support and/or lead end-to-end recruitment projects for ambitious consulting firms - rapid scoping, targeted sourcing/headhunting, structured screening and selection, offer management, and onboarding handover - working as a trusted extension of our clients’ brand.

• →Take ownership of full lifecycle hiring for defined campaigns/workstreams and deliver quality at speed.
• →Conduct structured research and headhunting; write and refine role briefs and adverts.
• →Run candidate screening and interviews; design tailored assessment formats and provide clear recommendations.
• →Maintain clear stakeholder updates, proactively manage risks, and keep documentation accurate and current.
• →Uphold a candidate-centric process that reflects each client’s culture and values.

You are an experienced recruiter who understands the consultancy/professional services sector, who thrives in fast-paced environments and can quickly make an impact. You’ll be confident working independently, managing multiple projects, and delivering high-quality outcomes for consulting clients.

• An experienced recruiter (minimum of 5 years, possibly far more) who can land quickly and operate with credibility in consulting environments.
• Strong delivery discipline—able to juggle multiple workstreams, keep momentum, and produce high-quality outputs.
