Head of Finance Recruitment

How does the opportunity to lead and head our brand-new division, The People Of: Finance, sound to you?

This is a rare and unique opportunity for Senior Consultants with a track record and strong presence in the Finance space to join our firm and create a business within a business. These opportunities are scarce and won’t become available again at TPO once we reach a certain point of growth. Now is the time to join us.

We are seeking a Senior Finance Recruiter to join us and establish a new business line for our exceptional firm. Perhaps you’ve reached a point in your career where you consistently demonstrate strong billings, a solid client base, market presence, and industry knowledge, and have considered striking out on your own but are wary of the associated risks. We’ll mitigate that risk for you. Join TPO, set up your own business alongside us, and share in the success we’re poised to achieve as we continue to grow. There are no ceilings or limits at our firm. We encourage all candidates to be entrepreneurial and commercially minded, with no goal or aspiration too lofty. If there’s work in the market, we’ll support you and provide all the necessary tools to excel in your chosen space.

This isn’t an opportunity to work under someone; it’s an opportunity for complete autonomy to run your business as you see fit. You’ll receive support and coaching but will be empowered to drive growth and revenue independently.

With our recent acquisition of The People Of: Professional Services, we’ve already witnessed a substantial increase in revenue and client base, providing cross-selling opportunities and igniting a newfound determination and hunger in the office.

Join The People Of to unleash your full potential!

Why Us?

• 20% guaranteed base salary increase
• Market-leading commission structure + other bonuses and incentives.
• Flexible working schedule
• Be your own boss with the freedom and autonomy to make decisions without usual restrictions.
• Leading CRM system and recruitment tools (including LinkedIn Recruiter); we’re always open and happy to invest in the best tools in the market.
• Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly Social Events
• Exceptional benefits package, including gym membership, private healthcare, good pension, excellent Mat/Pat Leave policy
• Early Friday finishes
• A chance to be at the forefront of a growing firm.

For us, there is no better reason than to establish your vertical lead BY YOU within a growing business with an established presence and stable grounding. Be empowered to run things your way, make your vision become a reality and try & test new things. Fail and go again. Ultimately, you’ll test yourself at the highest level within recruitment. Most capable recruiters who have honed their trade think about setting up themselves and many do so, but we believe this is an offer that satisfies the need to do so without taking all the associated risk.
