Recruitment Team Leader – Technology in London, England at Empiric

Empiric is an award-winning, globally recognised Technology recruitment consultancy with offices across the UK, Europe and the USA. Over 20 years we've become a genuine market leader - a Sunday Times Top 100 Company and the #1 Best Mid-Sized Company to Work For.

Ready for a bigger remit, broader influence and the chance to lead a team with real momentum behind it? This could be your next move.

This is a genuinely rare opportunity: lead an established contract desk generating £1m+ a year, built on 20 years of legacy clients. You'll inherit a 5-person team already on track to win our internal Team of the Year - with real scope to build it further.

The details:

• £50,000 - £60,000 base salary = £100k+ minimum 1st-year OTE
• A globally recognised tech brand with 6 offices and a 20-year legacy
• Dedicated care & compliance, marketing and back-office support - so you can focus on the desk
• Genuine autonomy to build, double the team and shape it as your own

Who we're looking for:

• Leaders with a contract recruitment background - you understand the pace, the margins and the relationship-driven nature of contract desks, and you know how to translate that into consistent billings and team performance.
• Senior/Principal Consultants ready to step into leadership - you're already billing at a high level and mentoring informally; now you want a team, a title and the platform to prove you can lead as well as sell.
• Proven 360 billers with strong BD instincts - you can win new logos as comfortably as you manage existing accounts and you can create opportunities.
• Experience in Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, ERP or related tech markets - you already speak the language of this space, understand the client landscape and can hit the ground running with the pipeline and relationships you bring.

The Role:

• Lead, mentor and develop consultants across the contract team, driving performance and delivery excellence
• Champion best practice and help build a consistent, scalable recruitment methodology across the desk
• Develop and execute business development strategies to grow the contract desk across global clients
• Strengthen long-term client partnerships through strategic talent solutions and market insight
• Own sales performance for the contract team, consistently meeting and exceeding KPIs and targets
• Drive revenue growth, new client acquisition and repeat business, while supporting consultants on complex negotiations and closing placements
