Head of Permanent
City of London | £80,000–£90,000 + Bonus | Genuine Four-Day Week
Most recruitment leadership roles are about managing people. This one is about building them.
At THRYVE, we've spent the last 12 years building a specialist Technology and Energy recruitment business across Germany and the wider DACH region. We've grown deliberately, built a fantastic team and created a culture we're genuinely proud of.
Now we're ready for the next chapter.
We're looking for an exceptional recruitment leader to build the next chapter of our Permanent division.
This isn't about replacing someone. It's about investing in our future by building on the strong foundations we've already created.
You'll inherit an established team of talented recruiters and play a key role in developing them, recruiting future talent and building one of the highest-performing specialist recruitment teams in our market.
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.
This is a non-billing leadership role.
Your success won't be measured by your own placements. It'll be measured by the success of the people you lead.
What we're looking for
We're interested in speaking to recruitment leaders who:
- Have a strong background in Technology recruitment.
- Have built and developed successful recruitment teams.
- Love coaching and developing recruiters.
- Lead with high standards and low ego.
- Think commercially and understand that exceptional people create exceptional commercial outcomes.
- Want to build something, not simply maintain it.
You may currently be a Recruitment Manager, Business Manager, Divisional Manager, Associate Director or someone ready to step into your first Head of Department role.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Germany / DACH experience would be advantageous but isn't essential. Most importantly, you'll genuinely enjoy helping other recruiters become exceptional.
What you'll get
- £80,000–£90,000 basic salary.
- Meaningful divisional performance bonus.
- Genuine four-day working week.
- A real opportunity to shape and grow an established division.
- Significant autonomy and influence.
- Clear long-term progression within a growing leadership team.
- Structured leadership onboarding and ongoing investment in your development.
We're not trying to build the biggest recruitment business. We're trying to build one of the best.
If you're excited by building people, raising standards and leaving a lasting impact on a business, we'd love to hear from you.
