*RecSeekers Rec2Rec, hiring on behalf of our client

RecSeekers are working on behalf of a high performing, UK based Life Sciences recruitment business who are hiring at Senior to Principal level as they continue scaling their international team.

This is a genuine step up for a strong recruiter who wants more ownership, bigger clients, and a setup where high performers are trusted quickly and promoted fast. You’ll work a global market across Biotech, Pharma, MedTech, CRO and CDMO, with the chance to travel and meet clients across Europe and North America as you grow long term partnerships.

The business has a high performance culture without the corporate fluff. It’s built for people who want to win, build a market properly, and be rewarded for it.

You’ll take ownership of a specialist Life Sciences market, working closely with leadership, developing key accounts, and building a desk with real longevity.

What you’ll be doing

  • Owning and scaling a specialist Life Sciences market globally
  • Managing senior client relationships across Europe and North America
  • Winning new business and expanding existing accounts
  • Running end to end recruitment processes across specialist roles
  • Headhunting and market mapping niche talent pools
  • Managing offers, negotiations, and stakeholder expectations
  • Representing the business commercially, including client visits and travel

What they’re looking for

  • A proven track record in agency recruitment, Senior Consultant level or above
  • Life Sciences experience is ideal, specialist markets also considered
  • Strong business development capability and commercial instincts
  • Confident, credible, and comfortable working with senior stakeholders
  • Self sufficient and consistent in a remote environment
  • Ambitious, driven, and hungry for progression

Why this role stands out

  • Fully remote UK based setup (Or attend London, Manchester & Leeds office)
  • Global client base with regular travel to Europe and North America
  • Higher than average basic salary for the level
  • Fast tracked promotion for high performers
  • Strong commission structure and genuine earning potential
  • High demand market with strong fee sizes and repeat business
  • A platform to build a long term desk with real backing and support
