About the role
If you've been in recruitment for a few years, know how to bill, know how to win business and feel like you're capable of more, it might be time to look at what your next move actually looks like.
At Darwin Recruitment, we're hiring experienced 360 Recruitment Consultants to join our specialist STEM teams in Billericay.
We're looking for experienced recruiters who want better markets, better earning potential and a clear opportunity to progress.
Why Darwin?
We've been in recruitment for over 25 years, specialising in STEM markets across the UK, Europe and the USA.
We're headquartered in Billericay, Essex, with offices in Leeds, Amsterdam and Umhlanga, and we're continuing to grow.
The important bit? You won't be starting from zero. You'll be joining established teams, working established markets, with live opportunities and experienced consultants around you. You'll have the support around you to get on with what you do best winning business, building relationships and making money.
If you want to become a top biller, move into management or become a genuine specialist in your market, we'll give you the platform to do it.
We're currently hiring experienced 360 consultants across:
- US Perm – Semiconductors

US HOURS - M-T 12-9pm & F 10am-5pm

These are specialist, high-value markets with strong demand and plenty of room to build your own desk, network and reputation.
What you'll be doing
You'll have ownership of your own 360 desk, including:
- Winning new business and developing existing clients

- Confidence speaking to clients and candidates at all levels
- Strong commercial awareness
- The drive to build and grow your own desk
- Ambition to earn well and progress your career
