Thinking About Moving Recruitment Agency?

You already know recruitment.

You understand the targets, the pressure, the client conversations, the candidate management and the reality of building a successful desk.

St Paul’s Talent Solutions helps experienced recruiters explore opportunities with recruitment agencies across London, the West Midlands and East Midlands.

Whether you are looking for stronger progression, a better commission structure, a new market, improved leadership or simply a fresh environment, we can help you understand what is available.

What Are You Looking to Change?

Most experienced recruiters are not looking for "just another recruitment role".

They are usually looking to improve something specific.

That could include:

  • Progression

    You may be billing consistently but have limited opportunity to move into a senior, principal or management role. We can help you explore businesses where progression criteria, leadership pathways and expectations are clearer.

  • Commission

    Commission structures can vary significantly between agencies. You might be looking for better thresholds, stronger percentages, uncapped commission or a structure that better rewards your performance.

  • Your Market

    Perhaps your current sector has become difficult to develop. Or maybe you simply want to specialise in a different area. Moving agency can provide the opportunity to enter a new market, inherit an established desk or develop a specialist area from scratch.

  • Management

    The quality of your manager can have a major impact on your performance and long-term development. You may be looking for more autonomy, better coaching, clearer direction or a leadership team that understands your market.

  • Flexibility

    Hybrid working, office expectations and working hours differ considerably across recruitment agencies. For experienced recruiters, these factors can become increasingly important when assessing a move.

  • Culture

    A strong culture should be more than socials and incentives. It includes how performance is managed, how people are treated, how success is recognised and how teams work together.

What Type of Rec2Rec Move Are You Considering?

Consultant to Senior Consultant

You may already be producing consistent results but want greater recognition, responsibility or earning potential.

A move can sometimes provide access to a clearer senior pathway or a stronger platform to continue developing your desk.

Senior Consultant to Principal

Not every experienced recruiter wants to manage people.

Principal or individual-contributor routes can allow strong billers to progress without moving away from the activity they enjoy most.

Moving Into Management

If you have started mentoring junior consultants, supporting team performance or taking greater responsibility for a desk, your next step may be formal leadership.

We can help you explore roles where management is a genuine part of the position rather than simply a future promise.

Moving Market

Experience in recruitment gives you skills that can transfer between sectors.

You may want to move from public to private sector recruitment, from volume hiring into executive search or from one professional market into another.

The important question is how much of your existing experience can transfer.

Moving Business Model

You may want a different type of recruitment environment.

That could mean moving from:

  • 360 recruitment into account management

  • Delivery into full-desk recruitment

  • Temporary into permanent recruitment

  • Permanent into contract recruitment

  • High-volume recruitment into specialist search

  • Larger corporate agencies into independent businesses

  • Smaller independents into larger recruitment groups

The right structure depends on how you prefer to work.
