Experienced Recruitment Consultant

Warm Desk | Optical & Audiology | Inspired Recruitment Group

At Inspired Recruitment Group, we believe great recruitment is built on relationships, trust, and doing the right thing by people. We’re now looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join our close-knit team, taking ownership of a warm desk with live vacancies, established clients, and active candidates .

This is an opportunity for a consultant who enjoys delivering results but also values support, autonomy, and working within a business that genuinely invests in its people.

The Opportunity

You’ll primarily manage a well‑established Optical recruitment desk , working with independent practices as well as larger groups across your region. Alongside this, you’ll have the chance to help grow our Audiology division , a fast‑expanding sector closely aligned with optics and already embedded within many of our client base.

From day one, you’ll work closely with a highly experienced manager who has been with the business for over 10 years. They lead by example, have consistently billed at a high level, and now focus their experience within the company to provide hands‑on support without micromanagement. You’ll receive ongoing guidance, training, and development to help you maximise your desk and exceed your personal goals.

About Inspired Recruitment Group

Founded in 2001 , Inspired Recruitment Group is based on the South Birmingham / Solihull border and is a recognised specialist within Optical and Audiology recruitment . Our reputation is built on integrity, quality, and long‑term relationships with both clients and candidates.

Due to continued demand and a strong pipeline of work, we’re looking to welcome a motivated, relationship‑driven consultant into our established team.

Building trusted relationships with candidates, fully understanding their experience, motivations, and career goals
Managing the full recruitment lifecycle from initial brief through to successful placement

What We’re Looking For

Proven recruitment experience with strong billing or performance history
Confident relationship‑builder with clients and candidates alike
Self‑motivated, accountable, and driven to succeed
Able to think creatively and use initiative to solve recruitment challenges
Comfortable following a process and using a CRM effectively
Resilient, professional, and motivated by long‑term success rather than short‑term wins

Working hours:
