You might want to read on.

We're 5Values Consulting Group. We power brands who are pushing the boundaries in talent solutions and content.

Every company says 'we're a little bit different'. But rather than spout the same old waffle you've heard before - we'd rather just let our story speak for itself and let you be the judge.

Our five core values are foundation for why and how we do what we do. They are:

1. Inclusive - The more diverse our teams, the more experiences and points of view we’ll hear. If we want to hear new ideas, we need to listen to everyone. And to do that, we need to fight against our biases.
2. Sustainable - If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Sure, no single person can fix the planet by themselves. But we can make sure that every decision we make takes us one step closer.
3. Attentive - We have two ears and one mouth. So, we should listen twice as much as we speak.
4. Authentic- It’s easy to say you’re going to do good things, it’s not so easy to actually do them. So we follow through. We walk the walk. And we never just pay lip service.
5. Considerate - People are at the heart of our business. We need to focus on their long-term health. Their life is not just a short-term goal. If someone needs a hand, we offer it.

They underpin our decisions and our culture. That's why we're called...5Values.

At 5Values, we’re the parent company to three brands, including 5V Video which is industry renowned for its contributions.

5V Video: Scaling technical teams for the world's biggest Connected TV and Streaming innovators. Chances are, whatever platform you’re currently streaming on – we probably helped design and build it. 5V Video is a fully contract consultancy, meaning bigger margins—especially with this role focused on the USA market! The US tech sector offers unparalleled opportunities for high fees, and with our extensive industry connections, you'll be working with some of the biggest names in the business.

5V Media: Our dedicated media team who underpin our industry engagement through initiatives like Playback Pioneers, Women Behind the Screen, and The Media and Entertainment Mixer (The list goes on). 5V Media are key in building meaningful conversations that keep opportunities coming to our door.

Why Are We Hiring?

We have big goals and a lot of ambition.

We need someone sharp, driven, with experience in either contract, tech or US recruitment and a relentless motivation and enthusiasm to better themselves, and win new business in a 360 capacity.

A Bit About the Role

This position is a unique opportunity to work on contract recruitment for the US market—one of the most lucrative in the industry. You’ll be collaborating with big-name clients like Warner Bros, Comcast, and NBC, placing talent in high-demand roles across tech, gaming, cloud, and streaming. With bigger commissions, no threshold, and higher margins, your hard work will pay off more than ever before. If you're looking to move beyond UK-based recruitment and tap into more rewarding markets, this role will open doors to bigger clients, bigger commissions, and bigger career growth.

What You’ll Be Doing

1. Getting to Know Clients: Work hand-in-hand with some of the biggest innovators out there to understand what they need and why.
2. Finding the Best Talent: Use all the tricks in the book (and some of our state-of-the-art rec-tech) to track down the best of the best.
3. Sealing the Deal: From interviews to negotiations, you’ll guide both clients and candidates through the recruitment process seamlessly.
4. Building Relationships: Think long-term. You’re not just filling roles—you’re building trust and loyalty.
5. Keeping It Together: Staying organised, keeping systems updated, and ensuring no candidate slips through the cracks.

What We’re Looking For

Recruitment isn’t an easy job, and we’re not looking for someone who is just interested in coasting through their career taking home a basic salary.

Here’s what you’ll need to succeed:

1. Sales Ability and a clear Why: You've really got to want to be good, to at least try and be good. Why do you want to be successful and what does that mean for you in your life?
2. Communication Skills: Whether you’re talking to candidates or clients, you’re clear, professional, approachable and will do the right thing and uphold our values.
3. Organisation: You can juggle multiple roles, candidates, and priorities.
4. Problem-Solving: We're about solutions, not problems. Quick thinking to deal with last-minute changes or challenges is a massive plus.
5. Relationship Building: You're not about making a 'quick buck'. You know how to build trust and create long-term, meaningful, partnerships.
6. Research Skills: You’re not afraid to dig deep to uncover the best talent for the job.
7. Experience with the US market, especially in contract recruitment, is a big plus. This role offers you the chance to make a real impact, working with the biggest names in tech and tapping into a market with significantly higher rewards.

What’s In It For You

1. Uncapped Commission: Your earning potential is in your hands, up to 40%, no threshold.
2. 29 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays + increased holiday on tenure and more days available per quarter! (One of our consultant's racked up 38 days of holiday in 2024).
3. Global Reach: Work on roles in the USA - where the markets are WAY more lucrative than the UK. (No more haggling on 15%). You'll have access to some of the biggest names in the industry and a contract market that offers life-changing commissions.
4. Sabbatical every five years, fully paid for three months.
5. 100 Hours Scheme: 100 hours per year to give back to causes and initiatives that matter to you.
6. 5V Velocity Programme: Clear career progression tailored to your ambitions.
7. £1,000 Development Fund: For courses, training, or whatever makes you better at what you do.
8. State-of-the-Art Tools: Access to top equipment and the latest recruitment tech.
9. Incentives: Profit-share, team trips, monthly competitions and of course it wouldn’t be a recruitment consultancy without…lunch clubs.
10. 5V Media Access: Leverage our content initiatives to drive your success. We’re always open to new campaign ideas to bring in the deals.
11. Wellbeing Support: We’re B Corp certified so best believe your health and wellbeing will be covered with, schemes like Yulife and a healthcare cashback plan.
12. On-Site Gym: Free access to our facilities.
13. Regular Perks: Salon/barber vouchers every six weeks, just because.

Well, you've got this far. What you waiting for?
