Recruitment Consultant - UK & Europe ( Commission Only)

We're looking for experienced recruitment consultants to join Bowhill Recruitment on a self-employed, commission-only basis across a number of UK and European desks.

This isn't a traditional agency role. There's no salary, no micromanagement and no targets. You work your desk, your way — and you keep the majority of what you bill.

The commission split starts at 60%. For senior consultants with a strong, proven billing history, we can go up to 70–80% depending on experience and track record.

We are currently recruiting across UK and European desks covering : Entertainment, Music, Events, Sports, Hospitality, Leisure and Travel. The European language(s) you speak will determine which region you work.

What you'll do:

• Win and develop client relationships in your chosen sector
• Manage the full recruitment process from brief to placement
• Source, screen and present candidates independently
• Build repeat business and long-term client relationships

What we're looking for:

• Minimum 18 months agency or in-house recruitment experience with a consistent billing record
• Genuine knowledge of and passion for your chosen sector
• Proven ability to make placements and generate fees independently
• Comfortable working without a base salary
• Own a limited company or willing to operate as a self-employed sole trader
• Eligible to work in the UK or Europe depending on the desk

What you'll get:

• 60% commission on every fee you generate — rising to 70–80% for high billers
• Payment within 72 hours of invoice clearing
• Full flexibility - work the hours that suit you
• The backing of a specialist niche brand in a growing market
• Real progression as the business scales

If you're billing consistently and want to keep more of what you earn, get in touch.
