Divisional Lead / Principal Recruitment Consultant
Divisional Lead / Principal Recruitment Consultant – Build Your Own Division
Location: Kent (Office-based, 5 days per week) ANY PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PERMS SECTOR!!
Are you an experienced Senior/Principal Recruiter or Divisional Manager ready to take full ownership of your own business unit—without the risk of starting from scratch?
We’re partnering with an established, market-leading recruitment agency in Kent that has delivered five consecutive years of strong growth. With a proven platform, strong infrastructure, and an excellent reputation in their core market, they are now investing in diversification—and this is where you come in.
The Opportunity
This is a genuine “build your own division” role. You’ll have the autonomy to develop a specialist vertical aligned to your expertise, leveraging your existing relationships, market knowledge, and reputation. You won’t be doing it alone—you’ll be supported with best-in-class tools, systems, and operational backing—but you’ll be the driving force behind the division’s success.
As the division grows, you’ll hire, mentor, and lead your own team, setting the culture, standards, and pace. This is a leadership role where you’ll be expected to lead from the front—billing, developing business, and inspiring those around you.
What’s on Offer
- Highly competitive basic salary (designed to attract top performers)
- Uncapped, market-leading commission structure on personal billings
- Additional override on team and divisional profitability as you scale
- Clear pathway to equity/shareholding upon hitting agreed milestones
- Full access to advanced recruitment tech, marketing support, and delivery resources
- The backing of an established brand with a strong track record of success
What You’ll Bring
- A proven billing history as a Senior/Principal Recruiter or experience running a team/division
- Strong network of clients and candidates within your specialist market
- Entrepreneurial mindset with the drive to build something meaningful
- Leadership capability, with a passion for developing and mentoring others
- High standards, resilience, and a “lead from the front” approach
Why This Role?
If you’re feeling restricted in your current environment—whether that’s lack of progression, limited earning potential, or no real ownership—this role offers a genuine step up. It’s an opportunity to operate like a business owner, with the security and support of an established, high-performing agency behind you.
This is more than just another recruitment role. It’s your chance to build, lead, and ultimately own a significant part of a growing business.
