The client currently requires a Recruitment Consultant for their Interims Information Security Europe team where you will cover all disciplines of Security while working closely with the existing team and leverage off their existing contact base. The European market is an intrinsic part of the company’s strategic plan and has recently dedicated considerable resource to growing and developing its presence there. Geographical focus predominately concentrates on the markets covering Germany, Benelux, France, Ireland and Switzerland, but there is plenty of scope to develop beyond these areas. You will become a recognised specialist security recruiter within Europe with the aim of growing your contractor base, whilst maintaining a healthy margin per placement and becoming a subject matter expert. You will ensure you keep abreast of security trends, high profile breaches and emerging threats through your network and media outlets.

Ideally, you will have 2+ years’ recruitment experience in an IT contracting capacity. Proven experience in recruiting in mainland Europe is necessary. Knowledge of security is highly advantageous but not required, however an interest in security is a prerequisite. A consultative, sales mentality with an appreciation of high volume output both in phone calls and meetings is essential. You will need a strong work ethic with the desire to grow revenue stream, contractor numbers and market knowledge cumulatively.

The successful candidate will be offered a highly competitive salary package plus a clear path to career progression. Information security is a growing profession and the business has been active in this area since 2001. The contract security division has scope to grow and is a highly profitable area.

This is an excellent opportunity to forge your niche area within the European Security market, which we see as an area of high future growth. Get in touch for more information.
