About the position

Main Purpose of Job



As a Senior Consultant you'll be the CEO of your own desk, spotting opportunities, winning business, and connecting top-tier finance talent with the companies who need them most.



It's a true 360° role: one minute you're building lasting client partnerships, the next you're matching brilliant candidates to life-changing careers. If you love the buzz of business development, thrive on targets, and get a kick out of closing deals, this is your stage to shine.



About SALT



At SALT, we connect people with possibilities. As a global digital recruitment agency, we partner with some of the world's most exciting brands to match them with outstanding talent.



Collaboration, innovation, and growth aren't just buzzwords here, they're our everyday. We work hard, laugh often, and celebrate wins together.



The Role



As a Senior Consultant you'll run a full 360° recruitment desk: winning new business, building long-term client partnerships, and delivering top finance talent into leading organizations. This is a sales-driven role that requires someone with a sharp commercial mindset, strong relationship skills, and the drive to achieve targets.



Key Responsibilities



  • Be the deal-maker: Hunt down new business opportunities in the finance space and turn prospects into long-term clients.
  • Be the trusted partner: Build relationships that go beyond transactions, become the go-to advisor for clients on talent and market trends.
  • Run the full show: Own the 360° recruitment lifecycle, sourcing, interviewing, negotiating, and closing those all-important offers.
  • Spot the unicorns: Proactively headhunt and engage the best finance talent, even before they start job-hunting.
  • Map the market: Stay ahead of industry shifts, competitor moves, and in-demand skills so you're always two steps ahead.
  • Keep the pipeline flowing: Build a steady stream of brilliant candidates and exciting clients.
  • Chase the win: Hit (and smash) your targets, celebrate your wins, and keep raising the bar.
  • Play as a team: Collaborate with your SALT colleagues locally and globally to share opportunities and make bigger wins happen.
  • Own your desk: Work with autonomy, manage your time like a pro, and deliver results without needing micromanagement.
  • Fly the SALT flag: Represent our brand in the market with energy, credibility, and a bit of sparkle.
  • Self-Management: Take ownership of your desk, drive activity, and ensure delivery with minimal supervision.
  • Brand Ambassador: Represent SALT in the market with professionalism, credibility, and energy.
Requirements



  • A Relevant Batchelor's Degree
  • 2-3 years' experience in recruitment (finance recruitment experience strongly preferred).
  • Proven track record in business development and hitting sales targets.
  • Confident, resilient, and commercially minded.
  • Strong communication and negotiation skills.
  • Ability to self-manage, priorities, and deliver in a high-performance environment.
