Senior Recruitment Consultant - AI Software (UK)

AI recruitment is the market every tech agency claims to have cracked, but few teams are set up to be able to deliver like ours. Our AI team in the UK is already one of Cubiq’s largest by headcount and revenue , and we're confident we're one of, if not the most trusted and relied upon AI recruitment team in the country.

That trust is turning into real momentum. We’re being approached, largely through word-of-mouth, by companies most tech agencies would give an arm to represent, and growing the team with its fifth hire this year alone to keep pace.

For you, that means a market moving faster than most recruiters can keep up with, and a network and reputation already respected before you’ve made a single call.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Consultant to join the AI team and own software recruitment across the UK’s AI ecosystem.

The role, your team, and Cubiq

Between the members of our AI team, we cover the core AI disciplines end to end , giving clients a genuinely well-rounded solution.

The UK team’s led by Kiera, who’s already well connected in AI talent circles. She runs her own community events, is a regular voice on podcasts and webinars, and brings in a huge amount of inbound on word-of-mouth and reputation. The whole team approaches business development as a unit rather than individuals chasing the same clients, which is a big part of why their hit rate is so strong.

Our way of working is to go deep into specialist markets and stay there, until clients treat us as partners rather than another agency on the PSL. For us, recruitment is a career worth committing to, and we bring aboard people who want to own a discipline, become the go-to name in it, and build something they’re genuinely proud of.

What you'll do

• Manage the full 360 recruitment lifecycle across the UK AI software market
• Build strong relationships with clients and candidates across your patch
• Deliver against live vacancies while building active pipelines of software talent
• Identify, win and develop new business within your market
• Share wins and clients as part of a genuinely collaborative team
• Advise clients on hiring strategy and talent availability , and where the market’s moving
• Take ownership of growing your desk , balancing delivery with long-term business development
• Contribute to a well-rounded AI offering that covers the core disciplines clients need

What we're looking for

We’re after a high-performing 360 recruitment consultant with a proven billing record against target . AI, software engineering or wider technical recruitment experience is a strong plus, though we’ll consider strong billers from other specialist markets.

• At least 2 years’ experience running a 360 desk, with a strong billing track record
• Experience owning a market or geography and taking full responsibility for it
• Ability to manage both client and candidate relationships effectively
• A proactive, self-motivated and target-driven approach
• Strong communication and negotiation skills
• Comfortable going deep into a fast-moving market, building the kind of expertise that makes you hard to replace

What a top performer looks like

The people who do best here are consistent, strong on business development, and treat their market like it’s theirs to own . They’re comfortable in deeply technical conversations, and that’s a big part of why clients and candidates trust them.

They grow their desk by winning new clients and turning them into repeat business, backed by a healthy pipeline. They move quickly, prioritise well, and judge themselves on results , and they’re rewarded here for it.

Over time they become the go-to name in AI software recruitment in the UK, someone clients trust and candidates want to hear from. That comes down to knowing where the best people are, how to reach them, and how to put an opportunity in front of them in a way that lands.

Perks and benefits

• A share scheme allowing you to own a share of what you build
• A strong base, plus uncapped commission with no threshold , up to 50%
• A quarterly scheme that accelerates through the year
• Clear routes to directorship as you grow
• Real investment in getting you embedded in the market, conferences, our own events, and time with clients face to face
• An established, high-performing team and genuine inbound demand to build from day one

Don't see something that matters to you? Let us know. We’re committed to bringing in the best and will be flexible with our offering if it brings us closer to achieving this.
