The Business

We're recruiting on behalf of a fast-scaling Embedded/RPO recruitment firm looking to bring on 5-6 Recruitment Consultants for their expanding Manchester or Leeds teams. This isn't your standard agency desk - you'll work exclusively into the US market as part of an embedded team sitting directly inside client businesses.

First, What's Embedded/RPO Recruitment?

Rather than juggling a wide portfolio of one-off agency roles, you become part of (or a dedicated extension of) a client's internal talent function - owning their live roles, building deep stakeholder relationships, and operating as a trusted insider rather than an outside vendor. It's a fast track to sharp, consultative, client-facing skills.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• Full 360°/delivery-focused recruitment into US roles (6+ months' experience needed)
• Partnering directly with client stakeholders - embedded, not third-party
• Working core hours of 10:30am–7pm to match US time zones (flexible start/lunch; most people log back on in the evening)
• Progressing from embedded account work toward a full 360 consultant role as you develop

Why Join

The Money

• £28k–£32k basic
• £2k/month realistic minimum earnings
• Strong pipeline with genuine investment as the business scales

The Lifestyle

• 1 day WFH weekly
• Unlimited holiday
• Regular socials - monthly breakfasts, team dinners, and more
• 2x companywide events per year (Summer & Christmas)

The Extras

• Financial advice for all staff via St James' Place (mortgages, ISAs, pensions, investments)
• A Whoop Band for every new joiner
• A clear, meritocratic career pathway from day one
• A Los Angeles office - genuine relocation potential for top performers

Who Fits This Role?

✔️ 6+ months in perm/delivery recruitment (tech/engineering a plus)

✔️ Confident holding your own with senior stakeholders

✔️ Ambitious, driven, and hungry to grow with a business investing in its people

✔️ Competitive streak - sporting backgrounds often thrive here

✔️ A track record of strong performance
