Recruitment Consultant — Data Centre Sector | US Market | Manchester (Hybrid)


Are you an ambitious recruitment consultant with a proven track record of placing talent into the US market? Do you want to work for a specialist agency at the forefront of one of the world's fastest-growing infrastructure sectors? If so, we want to hear from you.

We are a leading recruitment consultancy focused exclusively on the design and construction of data centres across the United States. With a strong client base already in place, this is a warm desk with genuine billings potential from day one — not a cold start.

Commission up to 30% | Hybrid Working | Modern Manchester City Centre Offices | Warm Desk


The Role

You will join a high-performing team placing permanent candidates across a range of specialist disciplines in the US data centre market. You will be responsible for developing existing client relationships while also identifying and winning new business, building your own desk in one of the most in-demand recruitment niches globally.

Typical placements span four core disciplines:

  • Sales — Business development, account management, and pre-sales roles
  • Technology — IT infrastructure, network engineering, and systems integration
  • Construction — Project management, site management, and fit-out specialists
  • Engineering — Mechanical, electrical, and commissioning engineers

What We Offer

  • Market-leading commission scheme with earnings potential up to 30%
  • Hybrid working model with genuine flexibility on start and finish times
  • Modern, fully equipped offices in Manchester city centre
  • A warm desk with established clients ready to develop — no cold start
  • Clear career progression within a growing specialist consultancy
  • A collaborative, high-energy team culture with serious backing and support
  • Access to premium job boards, LinkedIn Recruiter, and cutting-edge CRM tools

What We're Looking For

To be considered for this role, you will need to demonstrate:

  • Proven recruitment experience within the US market — this is non-negotiable
  • A demonstrable track record of winning new clients and growing billing desks
  • Experience placing permanent candidates, ideally within technical or infrastructure sectors
  • Confidence working across multiple disciplines including sales, tech, construction, or engineering
  • Excellent communication and relationship management skills
  • A self-motivated, commercially driven mindset with a hunger to earn
  • Familiarity with the data centre or broader built environment sector is highly desirable

Why Now?

The global demand for data centre capacity is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. As AI adoption, cloud infrastructure, and digital transformation drive huge capital investment across North America, the need for specialist talent in this sector has never been greater. This is a rare opportunity to build a lucrative desk in a market with structural tailwinds and long-term growth.
