Senior/Principal Tech Recruitment Consultant

This is a remote position.

Location: Remote-first UK (North West-based candidates preferred)

Flexibility: Highly flexible, open to part-time applicants

Contract type: Permanent

At Point One People, we believe better and more inclusive tech teams build better products, businesses, and cultures.

Founded by technologists and built around a mission to improve diversity and inclusion outcomes in tech, we believe recruitment can be commercially successful without becoming transactional, aggressive, or purely KPI-driven.

We’re now hiring our permanent 360 tech recruiter, someone who wants real ownership, enjoys building meaningful relationships, and is excited by the opportunity to help shape a growing business from the ground up.

Please note: candidates must be UK residents and have the right to work in the UK, as we cannot offer visa sponsorship. 

About Point One

Point One is a tech recruitment business built around a simple belief: better, more inclusive teams build better products, businesses, and cultures.

We’re not a typical agency; we’re founded by technologists, and we combine deep industry understanding with a relationship-led approach to hiring. We understand the systems, teams, and challenges our clients work with because we’ve worked inside them ourselves.

We specialise in retained search and contract recruitment across Digital, Technology, and Change, helping organisations build high-performing teams while improving diversity, equity, and inclusion outcomes within the tech industry.

Unlike traditional high-volume agency models, we focus on long-term partnerships, high-quality delivery, and finding talent beyond the obvious networks.

Point One was founded by Paul O’Donnell, who spent 25 years leading software development teams before launching the business with a mission to challenge exclusionary and transactional recruitment practices in tech.

About the role

This is a 360 recruitment role with a strong focus on relationship-building, business development, and long-term partnerships. You’ll be responsible for growing and managing your own market and building trusted client relationships.

We are not a transactional agency environment built around volume outreach and aggressive sales tactics. This is a commercially focused role, so confidence in business development, networking, and relationship management will be essential to success.

As our first full-time hire, you’ll also have the opportunity to help shape processes, contribute ideas, and influence how Point One grows over time.

We’re still evolving as a business, so this role will suit someone who enjoys autonomy, takes ownership naturally, and is comfortable operating in an environment where not everything is fully defined yet.

What you’ll be doing

• Building and managing long-term client relationships with organisations aligned to our values
  
• Generating new business opportunities through networking, referrals, relationship-building, and proactive outreach
  
• Managing the full recruitment lifecycle across both client and candidate relationships
  
• Identifying, engaging, and supporting candidates, with a strong focus on inclusive and equitable hiring practices
  
• Building talent pipelines, networks, and communities within your market
  
• Attending networking events and representing Point One externally within the tech and recruitment industries
  
• Supporting marketing, content, and community initiatives that help grow Point One’s visibility and mission
  
• Helping shape recruitment processes, candidate experience, and the future growth of the business
  

Requirements

What we’re looking for:

• 360 agency recruitment within tech recruitment
  
• Commitment to diversity, equity & inclusion (you don’t need to know everything, but you should be open-minded and keen to learn)
  
• Strong business development confidence and experience building client relationships
  
• Commercially aware, proactive, and confident spotting opportunities
  
• Strong communication, networking, and relationship-building skills
  
• Comfortable working with a high level of autonomy in a growing startup environment
  

This role won’t be right for you if you:

• Prefer highly structured environments with constant direction and oversight
  
• Are primarily motivated by transactional recruitment and short-term wins rather than relationship-building and long-term impact
  
• Want a purely 180 role focused only on sourcing
  
• Are uncomfortable with ambiguity, visibility, or helping shape processes as the business evolves
  
• See diversity and inclusion as a “nice to have” rather than an important part of building strong teams and businesses
  

Benefits

This is a rare opportunity to join a growing recruitment business at an early stage and have genuine influence over the role, relationships, and future direction of the company.

The base salary for this role is £30,000-£40,000, dependent on experience. There is no commission threshold, and it's uncapped. 

• 33 days total annual leave, including flexible bank holidays so you can choose when you take time off
  
• Paid volunteering days aligned to causes connected to our mission and values
  
• Generous learning & development budget for role-related growth and training
  
• Flexible and remote-first working environment
  
• Work-from-home stipend to support your home office setup and/or coworking access
  
• Part-time working options can be discussed 
  

At Point One People, we believe better and more inclusive teams build better products, businesses and cultures.

We are committed to creating an inclusive, equitable and accessible recruitment process and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities and experiences.

If you require any adjustments during the recruitment process, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss how we can support you.
