Recruitment Consultant (2–4 Years Experience) – Reading, Berkshire.

Job Description

We are looking for a Recruitment Consultant with 2–4 years of experience in an external agency who is ready to move beyond transactional hiring and build a career in high-impact search.

You understand that great recruitment isn’t about volume,  it’s about judgment. You enjoy being on the phone, value face-to-face interaction, and take pride in building relationships that deliver real outcomes for clients.

Recruitment Consultant (2–4 Years Experience)

£35K base + OTE | Hybrid working | Reading

We are hiring a Recruitment Consultant in Reading, Berkshire to join our growing team at Yellow Bricks.

Your Role: Finding the One That Changes Everything

At Yellow Bricks, we don’t hire for activity,  we hire for impact.

Your role As a Recruitment Consultant in Reading is to identify the individuals who genuinely move businesses forward. The people who don’t just look good on paper, but perform, influence, and deliver once they’re in role.

What You’ll Be Doing

Deep Candidate Assessment
Go beyond the CV. You’ll take time to understand a candidate’s decisions, behaviours, and real-world impact, identifying what others miss.

Client Partnership
Act as a trusted partner to your clients, ensuring every interaction reflects clarity, professionalism, and care. You’ll manage expectations, guide decisions, and build long-term relationships.

Navigating Ambiguity
Work on roles where briefs are still evolving. You’ll bring structure, insight, and direction to help clients define what “great” looks like.

Structured, Evidence-Led Hiring
Follow a clear, proven process that ensures every recommendation is grounded in insight, not instinct alone.

Driving Engagement from Day One
Ensure candidates join roles with alignment, clarity, and purpose, setting them (and your clients) up for long-term success.

Who You Are

Experienced, but Ambitious
You have 2-4 years in an external recruitment agency and are ready to move beyond volume-led delivery into higher-value work.

Naturally Inquisitive
You ask better questions. You’re not satisfied with surface-level answers and take pride in truly understanding people.

Relationship-Driven
You enjoy speaking to people, meeting clients, and building trust through conversation — not just email.

Commercially Aware
You understand the realities of agency life and take ownership of delivering results for your clients.

Structured and Collaborative
You’re comfortable working within a defined process and understand that consistency drives quality.

Why Join Yellow Bricks

We believe hiring doesn’t end at the offer, it’s where the real work begins.

You’ll be part of our Reading team that values judgment, supports your development, and gives you the space to build genuine expertise in your market.

This is an environment where your experience is respected, your voice is heard, and your growth is intentional.

Ready to Raise the Standard?

If you’re ready to move beyond “filling roles” and start building meaningful, high-impact careers  we’d love to hear from you.
