Description

We’re Growing – Come Join Us at Cranleigh STEM

It’s an exciting time here at Cranleigh STEM & Sustainability – we’re busy, we’re growing, and we’re looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant to join the team.

We’re not your “one-stop shop” agency. Instead, we partner long-term with some of the most exciting start-ups and scale-ups in science, engineering, and sustainability. From pioneering clean tech to next-gen life sciences, we work with companies genuinely changing the world.

The Role

This is a 360 role, but not the scattergun, high-volume kind. Think strategic, consultative, relationship-driven. You’ll build your own niche, supported by a brand, tools, and a team that genuinely has your back.

What You’ll Do

  • Partner with innovative STEM & sustainability businesses across the UK, Europe & US
  • Build trusted, long-term client relationships
  • Manage end-to-end recruitment on complex, high-impact roles
  • Stay on top of market trends and client needs
  • Work alongside ambitious colleagues who support (not compete with) you

    What We’re Looking For

    • Experience in 360 or client-facing recruitment
    • An interest in technical markets (engineering, life sciences, clean tech, etc.)
    • A consultative, relationship-first approach
    • Energy to build new business and deliver quality at pace

      What’s On Offer

      • Competitive salary + market-leading commission + quarterly bonuses
      • Clear career pathways (billing or leadership track)
      • Employee Ownership Trust – a real stake in our success
      • Private health insurance (for you + your family)
      • Wellbeing allowance
      • 30 days holiday + bank holidays + birthday off
      • 4.5-day work week (Friday finish at 2pm)
      • Dog-friendly, smart/casual office in Guildford
      • International incentive trips, socials, monthly team breakfasts
      • Enhanced maternity & paternity schemes
      • Paid 2-week sabbatical for long service

        Why Cranleigh?

        Because we don’t do one-size-fits-all recruitment. We go deep, we do quality, and we genuinely partner with clients making an impact in STEM & sustainability.

        And here’s something unique: we’re on the path to becoming employee-owned. That means success is shared, not just top-down. It’s a chance to help shape the business you work in, with the rewards and pride that come with it.
