Experienced Recruitment Consultant - Build What's Next
Belfast | Competitive salary + uncapped commission | Permanent
You've proved you can recruit. What comes next?
You know how to win business, build a market and deliver for customers. But perhaps the role that once excited you now feels predictable.
The same desk. The same conversations. The same promises about progression.
If you are still ambitious but have stopped learning, it may be time to put your experience somewhere it can take you further.
MCS Group is building an ambitious, internationally connected talent consultancy
We are expanding our specialist markets, investing in technology and creating career opportunities for exceptional recruiters.
We want to meet successful recruiters from Northern Ireland, Great Britain, Ireland and further afield who are ready to build what comes next.
More than another recruitment desk
Joining MCS is not about starting again. It is about building on everything you have achieved.
You could grow an established division, develop a new specialism, build a strategic client portfolio or help us enter a new market.
You will be close to the people making decisions. If you see an opportunity, you can make the case and move quickly—without fighting through unnecessary layers.
Built to help you perform
Great recruiters should spend their time advising customers, building relationships and creating opportunities.
You will be supported by specialist teams across:
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

You will also have access to modern recruitment technology, data, automation and AI-enabled tools designed to improve your insight, customer service, performance and earning potential.
Your career. More than one path.
Not every great recruiter wants to manage people, and not every future leader is already in management.
At MCS, you can progress as a high-performing specialist and trusted market expert, or build a career through key account, commercial, leadership and Director-level roles.
We actively look for potential. If you can lead, innovate or build something commercially valuable, we will help you develop it.

We want to speak to recruiters who have:
- A successful track record in permanent, temporary, contract or executive recruitment
- Strong customer relationships and commercial instincts
- The confidence to develop business and create opportunities
- High standards for candidate and client service
- Curiosity about markets, technology and the future of recruitment
- The ambition to keep learning, progressing and earning more
- Ideas, energy and the appetite to help shape a growing business
Your sector and current location matter less than your capability, reputation and ambition.
