## Description

**NEWSTAFF EMPLOYMENT SERVICES**

### **Senior Recruitment Consultant**

_Industrial Desk · 360 Role · Luton (Head Office)_

**Salary:** £27,000 basic + uncapped commission (up to 12% at top tier)

**Holiday:** 25 days after 2 years (plus bank holidays)

**Contract:** Permanent, full-time

**Location:** Luton — working alongside our Industrial team

**Sector:** Industrial Recruitment Consultant

_**Run your own desk. Own your own success.**_

At Newstaff, our senior consultants don't work for a recruitment agency — they run a business within ours. If you're an established 360 industrial consultant with a real track record in sales and client management, this is your opportunity to take genuine ownership of a desk, build something that's truly yours, and be rewarded properly for doing it.

### **About Newstaff**

Independent and family-run since 2006, Newstaff is one of the most trusted recruitment agencies across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. We support 100+ clients every week from our offices in Luton, St Albans and Milton Keynes — backed by 25+ experienced consultants and accreditations from REC, Sedex, Logistics UK and CQMS. Our Industrial division is one of our flagship desks, with a strong client base across warehousing, distribution, manufacturing and production.

### **The Role**

This is a full 360 industrial desk based out of our Luton head office. You'll own the entire recruitment lifecycle — business development, client management, candidate sourcing, on-site service, placements and aftercare — and you'll have the autonomy to build it your way.

•      Develop and grow your own client portfolio of warehousing, distribution, manufacturing and production businesses

•      Manage and expand long-standing accounts — from single-headcount placements to high-volume temp contracts

•      Manage volume bookings, last-minute requirements and shift cover with calm, structured planning

•      Conduct site visits, build genuine on-site relationships and build long lasting clients relationships

•      Negotiate terms, manage margins and protect your P&L like it's your business — because it is

•      Provide guidance and mentorship to junior consultants where appropriate

### **Who We're Looking For**

This role is strictly for established 360 consultants with industrial sector experience. We are not training rookies into this seat — we're handing it to someone who already knows the game.

**You will need:**

•      Proven 360 recruitment experience within the Industrial sector (essential — please do not apply without it)

•      Strong understanding of warehouse, production and manufacturing environments and the staff they require

•      A genuine sales mindset and a demonstrable track record of business development and account growth

•      Solid client management experience — the ability to grow, retain and expand industrial accounts

•      Comfort handling volume — high-throughput temp desks, shift cover and last-minute booking changes

•      Commercial awareness to negotiate terms, hold margins and manage a desk profitably

•      Resilience, drive and the self-discipline to run autonomously without being micromanaged

•      A full UK driving licence (for client site visits) and the right to work in the UK

### **Why Newstaff?**

We've built our reputation on being honest, hard-working and genuinely behind our consultants. In practical terms, that means:

•      £27,000 – 31, 500 basic salary

•      One of the most rewarding commission schemes in the area — paying up to 12% at the highest tier, fully uncapped

•      25 days holiday after 2 years, plus bank holidays

•      A genuine “business within a business” culture — your desk, your decisions, your rewards

•      An established industrial brand with existing client relationships to build from — not a cold start

•      Supportive senior leadership and a 25-strong team of experienced consultants around you

•      Locally rooted offices in Luton, St Albans and Milton Keynes — no painful London commute

•      REC, Sedex, Logistics UK and CQMS accredited — a credible, well-respected business to put behind your name

•      Independent and family-run — decisions get made quickly and your voice actually carries weight

### **The Numbers**

Strong industrial billers at Newstaff don't just hit target — they out-earn what the corporate agencies are paying. With uncapped commission and a 12% top tier, your earning potential on this desk is genuinely in your hands.

### **Ready to Talk?**

If you're an experienced 360 industrial consultant looking for somewhere you'll be trusted, properly rewarded and given the room to run — we want to hear from you.
