Recruitment Consultant – Sales

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. We’re growing our team in Nottingham and would love to hear from experienced recruitment consultants who live and breathe Sales or Tech. You’ll be naturally curious about innovations shaping the digital economy and have at least 5 years of recent experience within agency recruitment focusing on business development and headhunting the best talent in your space. You’ll be connected within your specialist community, actively engaging with leading organisations and exceptional talent across the region. You will possess deep industry knowledge, a flexible approach to addressing clients’ needs, and a sharp eye on emerging talent, recruitment and workforce trends.

Your mission (What you’ll do): 

• Win new business. Proactively identify and engage new client opportunities across your desk, 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 billing experience. At least 2+ years in agency recruitment
• A natural business developer. Comfortable picking up the phone, opening doors and turning conversations into new client relationships
• Genuine sector knowledge. A real interest in marketing, and an understanding of what makes contract talent tick
• Fast-paced and organised. Able to prioritise on the fly, move with urgency and manage multiple live roles without losing momentum
• A builder’s mindset. Someone who wants to grow a market and make it their own, not just work a pipeline someone else built

What’s in it for you (The rewards):

• Monthly commission on top of a competitive base as well as 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
