Base pay range

Sick of being judged on call numbers instead of results?

Want to work somewhere that actually values what you deliver - without the usual recruitment nonsense?

Elev8 is a startup recruitment business doing things differently. We’re looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant to join us on a fully remote basis and help drive our growth.

This isn’t a KPI-obsessed, micromanaged agency. You won’t be targeted on call times or activity levels but let’s be clear: we expect results. If you’re someone who knows how to build business, win clients, and fill roles, you’ll do well here. If you’re looking for an easy ride, this isn’t it.

What’s in it for you?

Fully remote – Work from home, a café, or wherever suits you best.

Uncapped commission – Your earnings are in your hands.

No KPI micromanagement – Success is measured by results, not meaningless activity.

No restrictions on your market – Work across Engineering, Manufacturing & Tech without being boxed into a sub-sector.

Genuinely laidback culture – Work with experienced recruiters who get it.

Be part of something from the ground up – Grow with a business that’s scaling fast.

Regular collaboration – We meet up every other week in a shared office in Ipswich.

We’re not at the size where we can offer bean bags and pool tables. If you want a ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ setup, this isn’t it. But if you want a down-to-earth team where you’re trusted to get on with the job, build your desk, and make great money, you’ll fit right in.

What does the role involve?

1. New Business Development - Building relationships, winning new clients, and growing your desk.
2. Candidate Sourcing & Management - Finding and engaging top talent.
3. Full ownership of your desk - No restrictions, no limitations - recruit where the best opportunities are.
4. Autonomy & Accountability - No one will be breathing down your neck, but you need to drive your own success.

Who we’re looking for:

1. An experienced 360 Recruiter - You know how to run your own desk.
2. Someone who thrives with autonomy - but understands that autonomy still means accountability.
3. A confident business developer - You’re comfortable picking up the phone and building relationships that bring in revenue. You need to have a phone first attitude.
4. Experience in Technical Recruitment is a huge plus - particularly Engineering, Manufacturing, or Tech.
5. Someone who enjoys working in a collaborative, no-nonsense team.

This is not a place for people who want to coast. If you want to build something, make money, and enjoy your work without the corporate nonsense - let’s talk.
