Systems Engineer

The Ideal Candidate

Strong IT / Fintech or Finance recruitment knowledge is ideal.

• If you are currently in a Business Development position winning search assignments and want to join a dynamic, growing, successful business but want to work from home; or
• You may currently be a successful 360 recruiter who really enjoys the selling part of your position but want an experienced delivery team working for you to boost your earnings by freeing up your time to win more work;
• You are an HR Consultant with existing clients but hate recruitment with a passion, and would much rather earn a commission-split and not deal with the recruitment yourself!
• You have a strong IT, CyberSecurity or IT Sales background and can comfortable sit across from a CIO, CTO, CEO, MD or FD taking down requirements, and talk the 'lingo'
