Reignite Your Career with a High-Performing Business! 🚀
Are you an ambitious Recruiter, currently burnout or fed-up of being beaten with a KPI-stick. Do you want to work for an organisation that has a track record of reigniting careers?
After a standout 2025, Practicus is looking for a Client Engagement Partner (360-Recruiter) to lead our growth within the Public Sector. We are looking for a sophisticated business developer who can open doors and a meticulous delivery expert who can close them with precision.
The Role & Your Journey
As a Client Engagement Partner, you will own the entire process, from the first "cold" coffee with a C-Suite Exec, to the final placement follow-up. While you will eventually have support from our delivery function, we need a consultant who leads from the front, mastering both the high-level strategic sell and the high-touch candidate experience. 🤝
Once established, your role becomes "180" and focused solely on bringing in Permanent and Interim opportunities. Fully supported by our best-in-class Delivery function, you will compete to become our top-Partner, where we have developed multiple £1m+ billers 🤑
Your Impact
- Strategic Business Development: Proactively identify and pursue new opportunities within Public Sector/Higher Education. You will be on the phone and in the room with Senior Leaders, identifying pain points before they become vacancies. 📞
- Full Lifecycle Delivery: Lead the recruitment process from start to finish. This includes taking deep, consultative client briefings, writing compelling briefs, and managing the end-to-end candidate journey. 💻
- High-Level Networking & Brand: Act as a true industry peer. You’ll attend events and contribute to thought leadership to raise your personal brand, positioning yourself as a trusted advisor to ambitious executive leaders. 🎤
- Champion Quality: Embrace our quality-led approach. We have an unwavering obsession with quality and improvement - we focus on finding the right fit, not just any candidate. ⭐
About You
We are looking for a high-performer who shares our Values: Honesty & Integrity, Going The Extra Mile, Passion and Empathy. You will also bring the following:
- Experience: 5+ years in a 360-recruitment role, ideally with exposure to Public Sector, Higher Education or Non-Profit organisations. 🎓
- The "360" Mindset: You genuinely enjoy the BD process and the thrill of the win, but you are equally committed to the delivery - the screening, the qualifying, and the process management. 📈
- Presence: You can hold your own in a room with driven and ambitious executive leaders, offering insight and challenging their thinking rather than just agreeing.
- Tech Savvy: Familiarity with Bullhorn or similar CRM systems. You understand how to run recruitment processes that are Human-led and AI-assisted.
- Values: You are positive, upbeat, and authentic. You’re ready to go the extra mile for your clients and cheer on your team. ⚽️
