A high-growth, specialist technology recruitment business is seeking an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join its fully remote team.

Operating globally, the company partners with start-ups and scale-ups (Seed to Series B) to build high-impact teams across Go-To-Market and Product functions. It works closely with founders and leadership teams, positioning itself as a genuine talent partner rather than a transactional recruiter.
