About Us

SearchElect is a specialist recruitment firm operating in niche, high-demand markets, delivering recruitment solutions for mid to senior-level roles. Our model is search-led, insight-driven, and relationship-focused. We do not operate as a volume agency, and we do not measure success by box-ticking activity.

We partner closely with hiring managers and senior candidates, often engaging passive talent through consultative, high-trust conversations. Our recruitment cycles are longer, our roles are complex, and our work requires depth, patience, and credibility.

SearchElect is also intentionally future-facing. We actively encourage the use of artificial intelligence to improve decision-making, search quality, productivity, and candidate engagement. This is a company where experimentation is encouraged, learning is supported, and curiosity is expected.

The Role

We are hiring a Recruitment Consultant / Recruitment Delivery Partner to focus exclusively on the delivery of niche recruitment assignments.

This role is for a strategically minded recruiter, not a transactional operator. You will be expected to think in terms of markets, talent pools, candidate psychology, and long-term outcomes, rather than simply filling roles.

You will work closely with the founder/ceo, hiring managers, and senior candidates, acting as a trusted delivery and search partner throughout the recruitment lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver end-to-end recruitment for niche, specialist, mid to senior-level roles
• Approach recruitment as a strategic search exercise, not a transactional process
• Conduct deep market research, talent mapping, and competitor analysis
• Proactively hunt, engage, and convert passive candidates through outbound calls and direct sourcing
• Manage long recruitment cycles with structured, proactive candidate engagement
• Confidently handle tough, senior candidates with complex motivations and challenging questions
• Advise hiring managers using market intelligence, not just CV submissions
• Maintain exceptional standards of candidate care, communication, and credibility
• Operate autonomously in a remote-first, cloud-based environment
• Continuously refine delivery processes using data, insight, and technology
• Strategic & AI-Driven Expectations
• This role requires someone who:
• Thinks in systems, strategy, and outcomes, not task completion
• Challenges assumptions and looks for smarter ways to deliver results
• Has a deep curiosity about artificial intelligence and its application in recruitment
• Actively experiments with AI tools for:
• Search and talent mapping
• Candidate research and preparation
• Workflow efficiency and productivity
• Market intelligence and insights
• Is brave enough to test AI in live environments, learn from failure, and iterate

• Experience recruiting niche, specialist, or hard-to-fill roles
• Strong capability in search, headhunting, and talent mapping
• Comfortable managing ambiguity and longer hiring cycles
• Ability to move agilely between markets and role types
• Mindset & Attributes
• Strategically minded - not a transactional box ticker
• Mature, self-managed, and commercially aware
• Confident communicator with senior-level candidates
• Curious, analytical, and continuously learning
• High ownership, discipline, and accountability
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
