Recruitment Consultant – Data & Analytics (Perm)
Hays, Technology team Southampton
We are looking for a driven and commercially minded Senior Recruitment Consultant to join our Technology team in Southampton. This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of a perm desk and play a key role in driving the next phase of growth within the Data & Analytics market.
The Data market continues to be one of the most active and skill-short areas within Technology recruitment, with strong demand across Data Engineering, Analytics, BI, Data Architecture and AI-related roles. By growing our current capability, we will increase market coverage, strengthen client and candidate engagement and unlock greater growth potential within a growing and resilient sector.
Your New Team
The Southampton office is a well-established, highly collaborative business with strong tenure and extensive market coverage. Within Technology, the team has built a strong reputation across Cyber, Software Development, Cloud, Infrastructure, Data and the Public Sector, underpinned by longstanding client relationships and consistent demand.
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.
You’ll be joining a team of seven consultants, each with a clear temp or perm focus across the public and private sectors. The wider office provides a supportive environment with experienced leadership and strong cross-team collaboration across a range of specialisms in the South Region, including HR, Finance, Procurement, Business Support and Construction & Property.
The Role
As part of the Southampton team, you’ll thrive in an inclusive, collaborative and motivating environment - this is the Hays spirit. We offer more than a job: industry-leading training and a career where you can expect to be:
- Building partnerships with new clients and candidates and guiding them through the recruitment process
