Tech Recruitment Specialist

North East | Hybrid | Up to 50% Commission | £35,000 - £50,000 DOE+ Bonus

I’m working exclusively with a high performing specialist technology recruitment business in the North East, who also off consultancy projects to their clients. They are looking to add 5 consultants to its growing team.

This one is a little different to what you’d traditionally expect. The business operates internationally across the technology market, with a particularly strong presence in the US and North American markets. Alongside traditional recruitment, they also provide consultancy and talent solutions to their clients, meaning you’re not simply filling jobs and moving onto the next one.

They’re building out the team and are open to speaking with recruiters who already have US market experience, as well as strong agency recruiters who want to make the move into US tech.

What’s the opportunity? You’ll be working across the US technology market, developing relationships with clients and candidates and taking ownership of your desk. Depending on your experience, this could involve

Developing and managing your own US technology market – (no cold desks here) Winning new business and developing existing client relationships Working with senior technology professionals across the US Managing the full 360 recruitment process from business development through to placement Building long-term relationships rather than chasing transactional vacancies Advising clients on talent availability, hiring strategy and market conditions Identifying opportunities to provide consultancy and additional talent solutions Working alongside experienced recruiters and leadership who know the US market inside out The aim isn't simply to give you a phone and tell you to "make 100 calls a day". You’ll have the opportunity to build a genuinely valuable desk, develop market expertise and ultimately become a trusted advisor to your clients.

Who are they looking for? There are five opportunities, and they're deliberately not looking for five identical CVs. You could be:

An experienced US tech recruiter** who already understands the market and wants a better platform to grow your billing. A UK tech recruiter** who has been considering the US market but hasn't yet had the opportunity to make the move. A recruiter from another specialist agency market** with strong 360 recruitment and business development experience who wants to move into technology. Or simply a **strong agency recruiter with genuine sales ability**, commercial instinct and the ambition to build something substantial. You'll need to be comfortable with business development, relationship building and picking up the phone. The technical side of recruitment can be taught. Commercial hunger is harder to teach. What's on offer?

Competitive basic salary** Commission up to 50%** High-value US technology market Hybrid working from a North East office Flexibility around how you work Strong existing infrastructure and support Opportunity to work with an international client base Consultancy as well as traditional recruitment Clear progression opportunities The opportunity to build and own your market A business that puts more emphasis on performance and relationships than pointless activity for activity's sake The commission structure is genuinely worth paying attention to. **Up to 50%** is available for high performers, giving people who can build a desk and bill consistently the opportunity to earn significantly more than they might in a traditional agency environment. You will not be required to build your own desk from scratch, you will have business from day one.

The role is hybrid and office-based, with flexibility around the working arrangement.

You don't need to live five minutes from the office, but you do need to be comfortable working collaboratively from the North East.

Why consider it? If you're already recruiting into the US, this could give you a stronger platform and earning potential. Most people I speak to in the North East, always say they want to work here.

If you're a good UK recruiter who has been looking at US recruitment but hasn't found the right opportunity, this could be your route in. And if you're simply a commercially minded recruiter who knows you could bill more with the right market, clients and commission structure, it's worth having the conversation.
