The CompanyOrion Electrotech is a multi-award-winning specialist recruitment agency that takes pride in our reputation for high standards, teamwork, and genuine dedication to building exceptional relationships with both candidates and clients alike. We partner with leading engineering and manufacturing businesses across the UK and are proud to be trusted recruitment partners on a range of long-standing managed accounts.

The RoleAre you an experienced internal recruiter, talent acquisition professional, or delivery-focused consultant who thrives on candidate engagement without the pressure of cold business development? This is an ideal next step for someone used to working with hiring managers and filling roles at pace, but who now wants the variety, tools, and rewards of an agency setting, without the sales targets.

We're looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant to join our Reading-based delivery team, working exclusively with existing, high-value accounts. You'll focus on fulfilling roles across engineering and manufacturing, with warm client relationships and ongoing vacancies ready for you to take ownership of.

This is not an internal recruitment role, but if you've worked in one, you'll likely feel right at home here.

What You'll Be Doing
Managing the full recruitment process from role briefing through to placement

Building strong candidate pipelines across engineering and manufacturing disciplines

Working closely with hiring managers and key account stakeholders to understand role requirements and hiring needs

Delivering a high-quality, consultative service to both candidates and clients

Supporting and mentoring more junior team members, where relevant

Proactively contributing to the continued success of our managed accounts

What You'll Bring
Experience in internal recruitment, talent acquisition, RPO, or delivery-focused agency recruitment

Strong stakeholder management and communication skills

A passion for creating great candidate experiences

Confidence managing multiple vacancies in a fast-paced environment

A team-focused mindset and genuine interest in delivering results for the wider business

What's In It for You?
Competitive base salary & uncapped commission structure

Quarterly & annual performance incentives including 5* holidays, fine dining, and bonus schemes

Hybrid working and early Friday finishes (3pm)

Private healthcare, gym membership, and enhanced benefits

World-class tech stack including a new CRM, LinkedIn integration, and time-saving recruitment tools

Structured L&D, regular coaching, and a clear progression route into Principal or Team Lead roles

Free on-site parking, healthy breakfasts, social events, and a genuinely supportive culture

What Next?If you're ready to move from internal recruitment into a delivery-focused agency role, or you're a consultant who loves candidate work more than cold calling, this could be a perfect fit.
