A well-known, high-performing technology recruitment agency is hiring a Head of Permanent Recruitment to lead, grow and scale a high-value perm division.

You’ll be inheriting significant existing accounts, strong brand presence, and a platform built for scale.
The Role

- Hire and scale the team further (headcount growth is part of the mandate)
- Set standards around delivery, quality, and commercial performance
- Drive revenue, margin, and market penetration across the perm division
- Work closely with senior leadership on strategy, growth, and market expansion
