Principal Recruitment Consultant

About the Role

Phaidon International is a multi-award-winning talent partner, backed by private equity and entering our most ambitious growth phase yet. With six specialist brands operating in high-demand markets, we focus on sectors where great talent is always needed - and where top recruiters can consistently perform.

What You'll Be Doing

• Client Development: Build on your existing experience to develop relationships with hiring managers and business leaders - not just filling roles but becoming a trusted partner in their growth.
• Candidate Engagement: Lead from the front: driving conversations, influencing decisions, and building long-term relationships with high-performing candidates. Build a consistent, high-quality pipeline through a proactive approach and credibility in your space.
• End to End Process Management: Own the full recruitment lifecycle, from initial brief through to offer negotiation and post-placement support. Deliver a seamless, high-quality experience that keeps both clients and candidates coming back.
• Embrace Technology and Data: Leverage our market-leading investment in marketing and technology - paired with real-time market insight and data - to reduce admin, increase impact, and move faster than anywhere else.

What We're Looking For

• Experience: 2-5 years in a 360 recruitment or sales-driven role focused in banking
• Ambition: You want to accelerate your performance, earnings, and progression
• Communication: You know how to build credibility with both clients and candidates
• Commercial mindset: You understand how activity translates into revenue
• Resilience: You've already experienced the highs and lows, and you keep going

What We Expect

• Show Up and Deliver, Consistently: Understand the importance of calls, conversations, and consistency, and be motivated by improving your output over time.
• Own Your Results: Drive your own performance and continuously raise the bar, taking ownership of targets, KPIs, and your desk.
• Be Resilient: Respond effectively when deals fall through, candidates drop out, or priorities shift - that's what defines long-term success.
