This is a high potential desk in a market that is both values driven and commercially rewarding. With consistently high salaries, strong organisational demand, and deep sector relationships built across other Hays specialisms, this is an ideal opportunity for an entry level consultant who wants quick speed to fees and long term career growth.
Why This Desk?
This is one of the most resilient and opportunity rich areas of the Public Sector:

This is a warm, recognisable market where demand remains stable regardless of economic cycles, offering both long term security and premium fees.

In this role, you will:
• Build and nurture relationships with charities, NfPs and wider Public Sector clients
• Engage directly with HR teams, Directors and senior hiring managers
• Manage end to end recruitment for permanent PA/EA roles
• Source, interview and place high quality candidates
• Use market insight to identify commercial opportunities and build high value pipelines
• Contribute to the long term growth of a desk with proven historic billing success
You’ll be operating in a market built on trust, expertise and human connection and one where great recruiters thrive.
What You’ll Bring
• Prior recruitment experience (any market)
• A strong business development mindset
• Energy, resilience and a proactive approach to relationship building
• The drive to build a specialist market and generate high value revenue
• A passion for delivering quality and supporting organisations that make a real social impact

• Uncapped commission, paid every 4 weeks
