Job title

Recruitment Consultant – Contractor Payroll & Accountancy

Altrincham (Hybrid, 4 days in office)

Warm desk with established client accounts

Small, high-performing team | Flexible culture | No KPI pressure

The Opportunity

I’m working exclusively with a specialist recruitment agency for Contractor Payroll & Accountancy Practices that has had an outstanding first year in business. Off the back of this success, they’ve just received new investment and welcomed an experienced NED, creating an incredible opportunity for the next hire to learn directly from top industry leadership.

They’re now looking to add a Recruitment Consultant to their close-knit team of three. This is a rare chance to join a fast-growing agency where you’ll step straight into a warm desk, working on predominantly sales roles with established accounts while still developing new business relationships.

What’s on Offer

• Warm desk with live accounts from day one
• Focus on sales recruitment into contractor payroll providers & accountancy practices
• Recent investment + experienced NED providing huge growth and learning opportunities
• No call-time KPIs — success measured purely on deals delivered
• Roundtables & networking events that bring in a steady pipeline of business
• Supportive, flexible culture where you’re treated like an adult
• Hybrid working (typically 4 days in Altrincham office)

What They’re Looking For

• 1–2 years’ recruitment experience (ideally within Financial Services, Payroll, or Accountancy — though strong consultants from other sectors will be considered)
• Well-trained, with a solid grounding in best recruitment practices
• A team player who thrives in a small, ambitious environment
• Commercial mindset — comfortable with BD as well as delivery
• Mature, trustworthy, and motivated by the challenge of a start-up culture
• Happy commuting to Altrincham 4 days a week

Why Join Them?

This isn’t a corporate agency with heavy KPIs. It’s a flexible, ambitious start-up where your input will directly shape the company’s journey. You’ll benefit from a warm desk, strong client relationships, and direct mentorship from an experienced NED, while being part of a high-performing but down-to-earth team.
