Head of Permanent Recruitment
Location: Liverpool Street / Moorgate, London (Hybrid: 3 days onsite)
Reporting to: CEO
2026 is going to be an exciting year for elemed!
We are a premier, self-funded, and 100% privately owned consultancy specialising in the world of Medical Devices. From artificial hearts to cancer-fighting radiotherapy machines, the people we place change lives.
Now, we are expanding to offer more services to our clients than ever before, and we need a brilliant Head of Permanent Recruitment to lead that charge.
We are looking for a leader who wants to stand up and be heard. You won’t just run a team, you will work as part of the Leadership Team to design hiring strategies, set the commercial direction, and launch initiatives that shape not just the future of the perm team, but the business as a whole.
The Role
This is a high growth leadership position that combines strategic management with personal revenue generation. Your core responsibilities will include:
- Leading & Coaching: Manage, train, and develop our existing team of international consultants, ensuring they have the coaching and support to reach their full potential.
- 360 Recruitment: Lead from the front by managing the full recruitment lifecycle, setting the standard for what excellence looks like both with your personal billings and your success in winning new clients.
- Commercial Strategy: Along with the General Manager and CEO, design the hiring strategy, targets, and metrics to ensure team success and productivity beyond the tired and dated stereotypical KPIs.
- Business Development: Inherit a wide network of legacy client accounts, turning warm prospects and lapsed clients into active partners, as well as winning new clients, to ensure a constant flow of new business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
How We Work
We believe in empowering our leaders, not micromanaging them. You will have the autonomy to make decisions and the voice to impact change. You will be supported by a robust operational backbone. We leverage a best in class tech stack and AI automation to strip away the boring admin, as well as creating our own tools, allowing you to focus on leading your team and closing deals.
Who You Are
This is a "Player-Manager" role. You are a strong leader who still thrives on the thrill of the sale. You bring energy and drive to recruitment and love what you do. You will be the flag bearer for the team, showing them what great looks like. Whether you are an experienced manager or a senior leader looking to step up, you have a proven track record of opening accounts and developing consultants.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We take pride in our ability to support people in growing and developing. Our CEO and Founder, Elena, has a proven track record of helping people achieve their potential. This role is perfect for someone who has reached the limit of what they can achieve where they are and wants to take the next step.
Ideally, you bring experience from the Medical Device/Life Sciences sector, but we are equally keen to speak with leaders from the Technology sector who understand high value, specialist recruitment markets.
Business development is a large part of this role, and for that reason, you must have recent experience in 360 business development.
The Rewards
- Stability & Agility: The economic stability of a self-funded business, combined with the rapid decision making and agility of a boutique consultancy.
- Culture: A team that celebrates and supports each other. A flexible environment built on the understanding that we are all adults.
- Growth: An opportunity to be a driving force behind our exciting future and a clear pathway to take on wider responsibility as the business expands.
