Recruitment Consultant – Product

At Salt, we build teams that drive success and transform businesses by connecting digital talent with career-changing opportunities and delivering organisations a single-view solution uniting recruitment, consulting, integration, and delivery. What do the best product recruiters actually have in common? It’s rarely the CV. It’s the network. This role covers a Product desk within our Creative team, working predominantly with high-growth tech scale-ups from Series A through C, where the calibre of client matters as much as the calibre of candidate. It’s a genuinely community-driven market. The people who win here aren’t sat behind a screen running searches; they’re at the events, in the group chats, known by name before they’ve even picked up the phone.

Are you someone commercially sharp who already moves in that world, or has worked with genuinely good clients and can prove it? If you’re proactive by nature, you show up rather than wait to be found, and you want a desk where reputation does half the selling for you, this is worth a conversation.

Your mission (What you’ll do): 

• Win new business. Proactively identify and engage new client opportunities across the product space, building relationships with high-growth tech scale-ups
• Own the full candidate journey. Manage every stage from brief through to placement, headhunting the best product talent in your network
• Show up where it matters. Be visible at events, in communities and in conversations, building the kind of reputation that brings opportunities to you
• Become a trusted advisor. Provide clients with market insight and guidance that positions you as a genuine partner, not just a supplier
• Build a market you can be known for. Grow a specialist product desk that reflects your own network, credibility and commercial instinct

Who we’re looking for:

• Proven track record. Demonstrable experience placing candidates with genuinely good clients, wherever that experience was built
• A strong existing network. Established relationships within the product or adjacent community, or a clear route to building them fast
• Commercially sharp. Comfortable navigating client conversations, negotiating and spotting opportunity before it’s obvious
• Proactive by nature. Someone who shows up to events and conversations rather than waiting to be found
• A builder’s mindset. Motivated to grow a market that reflects your own reputation, not just work a desk that’s handed to you

What’s in it for you (The rewards): 

• Monthly commission on top of a competitive base as well as the potential to earn a quarterly bonus, so your earning potential grows with every placement
• A desk in a genuinely community driven market, where your network becomes your biggest asset – A clear, structured career path with genuine progression opportunities
• Real autonomy to build and shape the desk around your own strengths and relationships
• A collaborative, fun office environment where wins are celebrated together
