Recruitment Partner - Birmingham
Full-time, permanent - term-time
Hybrid working
£30k–£35k base + commission, with OTE around £40k+
If you’re the kind of recruiter who likes a busy desk, quick decisions and plenty to get stuck into, this could be a very good move.
I’m looking for an experienced Recruitment Partner to join a brilliant internal recruitment team at a point of real growth. New schools are opening, hiring volumes are increasing and this newly approved role will work alongside an established recruiter, with plenty of scope to make an impact.
What’s in it for you? A strong team around you, a genuinely busy remit, autonomy to get on with the job, a £30k–£35k base salary plus commission with OTE around £40k+, and a working pattern that is ideally term-time.
This is not a role for someone who wants to manage a handful of vacancies at a leisurely pace.
You’ll be recruiting primarily across Education, with some support across other services when needed, and you’ll need to be comfortable juggling volume, difficult-to-fill roles and hiring managers who need answers quickly.
You do not need Education experience.
Agency or in-house is fine. In fact, if you’ve come from an old-school high-volume temp desk where you learned to spin plates, move fast, pick up the phone and get people hired, you’ll probably love this — even though the roles here are mainly permanent.
As Recruitment Partner, you’ll be:
- Managing a busy vacancy pipeline from brief to hire
- Working closely with hiring managers to keep recruitment moving
- Writing adverts, sourcing proactively and building candidate pipelines
- Recruiting in some genuinely challenging markets
- Balancing speed with a strong candidate experience
- Supporting Education first, but jumping across other services when needed
You’ll need to be resilient, organised, commercially minded and comfortable working at pace. Most importantly, you’ll need to be someone who gets recruitment and enjoys the buzz of a busy desk.
As the new Recruitment Partner, you’ll be joining a great team at an exciting point of growth, with the chance to make a visible difference from day one.
Package: £30k–£35k base + commission, with OTE around £40k+
Contract: permanent, ideally term-time
Location: Birmingham hybrid
Office pattern: typically around 6 days a month — Tuesday and Wednesday every other week, and Tuesday on alternate weeks
Start: ideally November
If you like recruitment when it’s busy, pacy and a little bit demanding, I’d like to hear from you.
