Executive Recruiter

Search & Select is a long-established recruitment consultancy. Since 1998, we've partnered with leading local and international organisations to deliver high-quality recruitment solutions across professional and specialist markets. While our approach continues to evolve through ongoing investment in technology, data and modern recruitment tools, we remain, at heart, a people business - built on relationships, judgement and long-term thinking. We combine intelligent tech with genuine human insight to deliver recruitment that is thoughtful, effective and built to last. The Role We're looking for an Executive Recruiter to operate at the sharp end of recruitment - combining traditional 360 recruitment with a modern talent acquisition mindset. This is a senior, hands-on role. You'll manage high-value assignments, build long-term client partnerships, and run intelligent search processes rather than rely on “post and pray”. If you've led or mentored others, great - but this is not a pure people-management role.
