Recruitment Consultant

To be 100% transparent from the get go, Our Perfect Candidate Looks like:

A proven consistently billing agency recruiter (1-3 years+), that is looking for a new sector and environment to make their own in a largely WFH setup.

OR

An estate agent that has a wee bit of recruitment experience and wants to bring their understanding of the industry and take the recruitment world by storm in this exciting role.

The perfect candidate needs to have experience working in a smaller agency / startup world, this role will not suit people who have come from larger agencies / corporate.

Location: Commutable to East London / Essex but this role is largely WFH with occasional client meetings.

The role

You'll take over a small existing book of live roles and client queries from day one, so there's income and momentum to work with immediately. But the real opportunity here is growth: we have a strong bank of previous clients who've gone quiet, and we need someone who'll get back on the phone, re-open relationships, and turn dormant contacts into active business. This is a genuine mix of delivery and business development — not a BD role dressed up as a recruitment job, and not a desk-sitting 360 role either. You'll do both, and shape how much weight sits on each as the business grows.

What you'll be doing

• Managing and progressing current live vacancies and candidate queries
• Proactively reaching out to former and dormant clients to reignite relationships
• Business development — identifying and winning new estate agency clients
• Full 360 recruitment: sourcing, screening, and placing candidates into estate agency roles
• Helping shape the direction of the business as it scales back up

Key Person Attributes:

• Comfortable picking up the phone for new business, not just account management
• Self-starter & self motivated energy — you'll have real autonomy and a real say in how this grows
• Resilient and target-driven, but genuinely relationship-focused rather than purely transactional

The Context

Cape Consulting Group is hiring on behalf of LCA Jobs following a recent change of ownership, we're re-energising the business — and we're looking for a self motivated icon who is comfortable working with directors in a startup environment - a person who wants to build something, not just maintain it.

What's on offer

• Sliding scale comission scheme based on realistic targets over a year - OTE £55K++
• WFH predominantly with occasional client meetings in East London / Essex
• A live desk from day one, plus real scope to grow your own patch and progress as the business does
• The chance to build a business, not just work in one.
