Recruitment Consultant

Recruitment Consultant | Data Centre & Critical Infrastructure | OTE £80,000–£200,000+

Location: Harlow, Essex

UK | Europe | APAC | Nordics | Americas

The average recruitment consultant in the UK earns £32,000 a year.

Ours don't.

Our consultants bill into a market where candidate salaries regularly hit £80,000 to £150,000. Where hyperscaler construction programs run into the billions. Where global demand for data centre and critical infrastructure professionals is outpacing supply by a margin that is only growing. Where a single placement generates a fee most generalist recruiters won't see in a quarter.

This is not a volume desk. This is a specialist market. And that difference is exactly why our consultants earn what they earn.

WHAT OUR CONSULTANTS EARN

Our top earners have cleared £200,000 in total compensation.

No threshold. No claw-back. No waiting until you've covered your base. You earn from placement one. Consultants who work this desk properly and build genuine relationships in this niche consistently clear £80,000 to

£120,000. The top end is not a fantasy. It is what happens when you own a specialist market.

On top of commission:

Quarterly bonuses for consistent billers’ Annual incentive trips for top performers, all expenses paid Regular international travel across Europe, APAC, and the Americas Equity stake in the business earned through tenure and performance

WE INVEST IN THE LIFE YOU BUILD OUTSIDE OF WORK

Most firms take your commission and leave you to figure out the rest. We don't.

As your earnings grow, we give our consultants access to trusted advisory support on property investment, wealth building, and financial planning. This is part of how we think about the people who work here. When you earn well at TGS, we make sure you know what to do with it.

WHO WE ARE

TGS International Group is a specialist technical recruitment firm focused exclusively on data centres and critical infrastructure. We operate across the UK, Europe, APAC, the Nordics, and the Americas. Our clients include hyperscalers, colocation providers, and Tier 1 contractors running some of the most significant infrastructure programs on earth.

We are six consultants today. Twelve by end of year. Twenty-plus by next year. We are hiring because we are expanding, not backfilling. The opportunity to grow with this business, in billing, leadership, or geography, is real and it is now.

THE MARKET YOU WILL WORK

Every hyperscaler, colocation provider, and enterprise infrastructure team globally is competing for the same finite pool of engineers, project managers, operations professionals, and critical environment specialists. The AI infrastructure wave has accelerated demand to a level the industry was not built to supply.

You will work permanent and contract. You will have live client relationships from day one. You will not be fighting over the same job boards as forty generalist recruiters.

THE PEOPLE WE BUILD WITH

We are not building a firm of people who want a job. We are building a firm of people who want to be the best version of themselves.

Everyone at TGS is on a personal development journey alongside their commercial one. We hold ourselves to a high standard because we actually care about where we are heading, not because someone told us to. We train, mentor, and challenge our consultants. We celebrate growth and we do not accept complacency.

If you are comfortable, you will not thrive here. If you are driven, this environment will accelerate you faster than anywhere else you could be.

WHERE YOU CAN GO FROM HERE

The growth path at TGS is not a fixed ladder. It is an open map.

Want to own the highest-billing desk in your specialism? We will give you the market and the platform to do it.

Want to build and lead your own team? The business is scaling fast enough to make that a short-term reality, not a five-year promise.

Want to own an international desk across APAC, the Nordics, or the Americas? Those markets are live. The right person can lead them.

Want to grow into a director-level role as TGS scales toward £20 million turnover? That conversation is available here.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

You don't need to come from data centres. You do need to come from somewhere serious.

We are looking for experienced 360 recruiters who have billed in a technical or specialist market and want a bigger stage. Or exceptional sales professionals with the hunger to learn a niche fast and work it with precision.

What matters to us: integrity, accountability, genuine ambition, and a real commitment to being better next month than you are today.

If you are currently hitting targets but feel constrained by a role, a market, or a culture that doesn't match where you want to go, this is worth your attention.
