About ITS
With over 50 years’ experience in the construction sector and a network of 19 offices across the UK, ITS is a well-established and highly respected recruitment consultancy.
Each office operates with a strong local focus, backed by hands-on leadership and supported by a wider group infrastructure. This model allows us to deliver a tailored, high-quality service while maintaining a collaborative and high-performing culture.
Our Sussex office has a strong reputation and long-standing client relationships across East & West Sussex and the surrounding areas.
The Opportunity
We are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant to take ownership of a warm Trades & Labour desk within our Sussex office.
You’ll be joining a successful team of three consultants and a resourcer, supported by an experienced Director. This is a hands-on billing role with the opportunity to further develop an already established desk, rather than build from scratch.
With multiple existing PSL agreements and a strong local client base, this role offers immediate opportunity alongside long-term growth potential.
Your Role
* Develop and grow an established Trades & Labour desk
* Build and maintain strong client and candidate relationships
* Maximise existing PSL agreements and generate new business opportunities
* Work collaboratively with the sales manager and wider team
* Deliver a high standard of service in a fast-paced freelance environment
* Manage your own time and pipeline effectively
What We’re Looking For
* Proven experience in recruitment (ideally construction, Trades & Labour or white collar)
* Strong billing track record and commercial awareness
* Ability to develop relationships and win business
* Highly organised with strong time management skills
* A driven, resilient, and professional approach
We are also open to experienced recruiters from other sectors who can demonstrate consistent performance and the ability to adapt to a fast-moving market.
Progression & Support
ITS is committed to developing its people. You’ll receive ongoing training through both internal programmes and external partners including REC-accredited learning.
You’ll also have full support to implement a growth strategy for your desk, including budget and leadership backing.
We promote from within and offer genuine long-term progression, with many of our Directors having started as consultants.
Package & Benefits
* Competitive base salary
* Car allowance
* Uncapped personal and team commission
* Quarterly and annual bonuses
* Incentive trips and rewards
* Clear pathway to management, Directorship, and equity opportunities
