Principal Recruitment Consultant

We’re hiring a Principal Recruitment Consultant to join our London team.

We’re a market-leading recruitment company in the Architecture, Engineering & Construction space, partnering with clients across the USA. After a strong 2025, we’re growing again – currently 24 people in London, with plans to reach 40 over the next three years. This is a high-impact hire and a chance to be part of the core group shaping what TYG becomes next.

Our three directors started the company as friends after meeting at college, and that still defines how we operate today: supportive, collaborative, and people-first. We’re ambitious, but we believe the best results come when experienced people are trusted, backed, and given genuine freedom to build.

What makes us different

• True autonomy to run and scale your desk in your own style
• The opportunity to build out new verticals or deepen existing ones within AEC
• A genuine voice in company strategy, team growth, and how we scale
• Entry into our principal group with clear priority for future leadership roles
• Direct access to the directors and meaningful influence on company direction
• A supportive, high-performance culture that values long-term success over quick wins

What you’ll get

• Competitive principal-level base salary + uncapped commission
• Early finish Fridays + hybrid working
• Full back-office and operational support
• Management training and leadership development
• Regular socials, incentives & yearly trip abroad
• WeWork Devonshire Square office (free coffee, free beer, regular events)

The role

• Own and grow a high-performing desk within the AEC market
• Develop long-term strategic client partnerships
• Contribute to business planning, market positioning, and process improvement
• Support and develop junior consultants where desired
• Help shape the next generation of TYG consultants
• Significant experience as a recruiter within the AEC space (or a closely related vertical)
• A strong track record of billing and client development
• Someone who enjoys building, not just billing
• Commercial, self-directed, and comfortable with full ownership
• A natural mentor who leads by example
• Ambition to step into formal leadership as the business scales

If you’re a Principal-level recruiter looking for real autonomy, strategic influence, and a clear path into leadership within a growing, supportive business, we’d love the opportunity to speak with you.
