IT Recruitment Researcher / Resource Consultant (Contracting)

This is not your typical recruitment role

We're a small, focused contracting team that delivers under pressure. The spotlight is always on, expectations are high, and results matter.

If you thrive in that kind of environment, keep reading.

The Role

We're looking for a high-performing IT Recruitment Researcher / Resourcer who knows how to find top-tier contract talent—fast.

This is a hands-on delivery role, focused on sourcing, engaging, and placing high-quality IT contractors across multiple domains.

You'll need more than LinkedIn and job boards. We're looking for someone who can dig deeper, think differently, and consistently deliver—no matter how tough the brief.

What You'll Be Doing

• Sourcing top IT contract talent across:
  • IT , Software Development, Data, Cloud, DevOps, Integration, and more
• Building and maintaining active pipelines of high-quality contractors (active + passive)
• Delivering shortlists within 24–48 hours on live roles
• Using advanced sourcing techniques:
  • Boolean search
  • GitHub and alternative platforms
  • AI tools and data-driven sourcing methods
• Writing high-converting job ads and outreach messaging
• Owning the full sourcing cycle:
  • Headhunting
  • Screening
  • Shortlisting
  • Candidate management
• Continuously identifying and engaging hard-to-find unicorn candidates
• Staying ahead of market trends and competitor activity
• Working closely with the team to ensure fast, high-quality delivery under pressure

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years IT contract recruitment experience (agency background preferred)
• Proven track record of delivering quality candidates at speed
• Strong expertise in:
  • LinkedIn sourcing
  • Boolean search
  • GitHub / alternative sourcing channels
• Experience working on high-volume, fast-paced contract roles
• Excellent communication, admin, and ad-writing skills
• High attention to detail and strong organisational ability

Mindset & Behaviours

• Delivery-first – you get results, consistently
• Resilient – you perform under pressure
• Accountable – you take ownership, no excuses
• Resourceful – you don't rely on job boards alone
• Curious & creative – you find talent others can't
• Self-driven – you don't need micromanagement

This Role Is NOT For

• Freelance recruiters or those seeking fully remote / flexible side work
• Individuals who have run their own agencies or large teams and are looking for a temporary role
• Candidates looking to step away from hands-on delivery
• Recruiters who rely purely on job boards or inbound applications
• Anyone looking for a short-term stepping stone

Why Join Us?

• Work in a small, high-impact team where your output matters
• Be part of a delivery-driven environment that values performance
• Access to tools, support, and a team that understands contracting recruitment
• Opportunity to grow as a top-tier delivery specialist in IT recruitment
