Job description

Position Overview

Our client is seeking an experienced Recruitment Consultant with a strong background in Data Centre and/or Infrastructure recruitment to join the business as a fully integrated member of the team. This is not intended to be a traditional offshore sourcing position, but rather a long-term strategic hire who will play a key role in helping scale the business and support major client projects across Europe.

The successful individual will work closely alongside the team, receiving direct mentorship and exposure to both recruitment delivery and broader commercial growth initiatives within the business.

 

Core Focus Areas

The primary focus of the role will be recruiting within the Data Centre technology ecosystem, specifically supporting the hiring of:

  • Data Centre Technicians

  • Data Centre Engineers

  • Deployment Engineers

  • Infrastructure Specialists

  • GPU / AI Infrastructure Professionals

  • High-Performance Computing (HPC) talent

  • Site Reliability Engineers (SREs)

  • Closely aligned Infrastructure and Cloud professionals

 

The focus is specifically on the technology and operational side of Data Centres rather than construction or physical build projects. Candidates should understand the infrastructure that sits within a Data Centre environment and be familiar with the associated technical talent landscape.

 

Geographic Coverage

The successful hire will predominantly support recruitment activity across:

  • Germany

  • United Kingdom

  • Nordics

  • Romania

  • Poland

  • Spain

  • Wider European markets as projects evolve

Experience recruiting internationally, particularly across Europe, will therefore be highly advantageous.

 

Key Responsibilities

The role will ultimately evolve into a full end-to-end recruitment position, including:

  • Candidate sourcing and headhunting

  • Candidate qualification and screening

  • Interview management

  • Offer management

  • Counter-offer handling

  • Candidate relationship management

  • Client interaction (where applicable)

  • Talent pooling and future talent mapping

  • Competitor tracking and market intelligence gathering

  • Identification of potential new business opportunities within the market

 

You highlighted the importance of finding someone who can think strategically and connect market trends and hiring activity back to broader business opportunities for the company.

 

Ideal Candidate Profile

We will primarily target individuals who possess:

Essential

  • Proven recruitment experience within Data Centres, Infrastructure, Cloud, or closely related technical markets

  • Experience recruiting technical professionals rather than construction-focused Data Centre talent

  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

  • End-to-end recruitment capability

  • High levels of organisation and proactivity

  • Commercial awareness and market intelligence capabilities

  • Desire to become embedded within a growing business

Highly Desirable

  • Existing Data Centre network

  • European market recruitment experience

  • Experience supporting high-volume project hiring

  • Ability to operate autonomously and make informed recruitment decisions

  • Exposure to Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, Infrastructure or Cloud recruitment markets

 

Personality & Cultural Fit

Based on our discussion, cultural fit will be equally important as technical experience.

The ideal individual will be:

  • Entrepreneurial in mindset

  • Ambitious and growth-oriented

  • Comfortable working within a fast-paced environment

  • Collaborative and communicative

  • Commercially aware

  • Curious and proactive

  • Motivated by long-term career progression and development opportunities

 

The opportunity appears particularly well suited to someone who may currently sit within a delivery-focused or back-office recruitment function and is looking to step into a broader, more consultative and commercially involved position.

 

Opportunity & Long-Term Growth

The role presents a significant opportunity for personal and professional growth, particularly in light of the potential large-scale European Data Centre project currently under discussion.

Should this project be secured, hiring demand is expected to increase substantially, with projected volumes of approximately:

  • 120 hires over the next 6–7 months

  • Potential expansion beyond 200 hires thereafter

This creates a considerable platform for both earnings’ growth and career progression for the successful hire.

 

Compensation

Our understanding is that:

  • Target base salary range is approximately £1,500 - £2,100 per month.

  • Flexibility exists for exceptional individuals.

  • The company remains open-minded regarding commission structures and would welcome market guidance throughout the search process.

  • The aim is to create a compelling earning opportunity that rewards performance whilst encouraging long-term commitment.

 

Working Environment

The successful hire will receive:

  • Full integration into the team

  • Direct access to leadership

  • Premium equipment and software required to perform effectively

  • Potential travel opportunities to the UK and Europe

  • Ongoing support and development

  • Genuine visibility within the business rather than operating as a siloed remote resource
