💼 Talent Partner – Finance Recruitment

📍 Manchester (Spinningfields) | £40k–£60k base + up to 30% comms | Hybrid (3 days in office)

You’re experienced, proven, and probably bored of being told your next move is “entrepreneurial.”

You don’t need beanbags, buzzwords, or someone telling you to “smash the phones.”

You just want a grown-up environment, strong peers, and a chance to bill seriously in a market you know inside out.

Welcome to your next proper role...

The Opportunity:

We’re working with a high-performing, finance recruitment business looking for a Talent Partner/Recruitment/Principal/Lead Consultant (call it what you want).

You’ll join a team of 11 ambitious recruiters (including two senior billers doing £300k+), all working across transactional, commercial, and senior finance. They’ve built a structure, tech stack, and culture that actually lets recruiters focus on what they do best: building relationships and making placements.

Oh - and they have plans to be the biggest finance recruiter in the North within the next 18 months.

There’s no spoon-feeding, but also no isolation.

Initially, you’ll buddy up on everything, cross-sell across brands, and be part of a grown-up sales culture where cold calling for the sake of it is not a thing.

💬 What You’ll Be Doing:

Running your own desk (360) within the finance space - part-qualified, commercial or leadership finance depending on your expertise.
Hitting one KPI: 8 quality meetings a week.
Collaborating on exclusive projects with defined timelines, salary insights, and agreed client expectations.
Adding genuine value to both clients and candidates - no CV flinging, no box-ticking, no ghosting - just earning the title of consultant.

📊 What You’ll Get:

£40k–£60k base (DOE)
Up to 30% commission
Full use of Atlas (including automatic meeting transcription and follow-up tracking)
A strong name in the Northern finance market — with ambitions to become the largest in the region by 2026

🤝 Who You Are:

Minimum 3 years’ experience in finance recruitment (360 essential - we're not looking for TA/internal - you must be able to sell)
Proven track record of £120k+ billing
Hungry, consistent, and able to feed yourself - no ego, no excuses
Enjoys the graft, the process, and the bigger picture
