At Henderson Scott, we're building specialist recruitment teams that deliver exceptional results across Technology & Data, Legal, Accounting & Finance, and Real Estate & Construction. As part of Search Recruitment Group, we combine the agility of a specialist brand with the backing of an international recruitment business.
As we continue to invest in the growth of our US business, we're looking for an experienced agency recruiter or Talent Acquisition professional with recruitment agency hiring experience to help build our specialist recruitment teams. This isn't a traditional internal recruitment role. It's a sales-focused Talent Acquisition position where success comes from identifying exceptional recruitment talent, building relationships with high performers, and influencing them to join Henderson Scott.
You'll partner closely with Directors and senior leaders to understand hiring priorities, map the market, and develop talent pipelines that support our long-term growth. If you enjoy headhunting, opening conversations with passive candidates, and winning top talent in a competitive market, this is an opportunity to make a genuine commercial impact.
The Role
Working as part of our Talent team, you'll take ownership of experienced hiring across the US business, helping us attract recruiters who will strengthen our specialist teams and support future growth.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Headhunting experienced agency recruiters across our specialist markets
- Engaging and influencing passive candidates
- Conducting interviews and assessing candidate suitability
- Building and maintaining strategic talent pipelines
- Managing candidates through the full recruitment process from engagement, to offer and onboarding
- Partnering with hiring managers on recruitment strategy
- Working closely with Marketing on talent attraction campaigns to promote the Henderson Scott employer brand
- Own the new hire journey from offer acceptance through onboarding, ensuring every recruiter joins Henderson Scott with an exceptional experience and is set up for long-term success.
About You
We're interested in speaking with:
- Talent Acquisition professionals currently hiring into recruitment agencies
- High-performing 360 recruitment consultants looking to transition into an internal Talent Acquisition role
We're looking for someone who is commercially minded, proactive and confident engaging experienced recruiters. You'll be comfortable building relationships with passive candidates, handling objections, and influencing hiring decisions while working at pace in a high-performance environment.
Ideally, you'll bring:
- Experience in agency recruitment, either in a 360 or Talent Acquisition capacity
- Strong headhunting and candidate engagement skills
- Excellent communication and influencing ability
- A proactive, resilient and organized approach
- Strong stakeholder management skills
- A genuine passion for sales, and identifying and securing top talent
Why Henderson Scott?
Henderson Scott is a place where ambitious people can thrive - backed by strong leadership, genuine opportunity, and the platform to build lasting careers.
You'll benefit from:
- A role where your work directly influences the growth of the US business
- Genuine ownership and autonomy, with the support of an experienced leadership team
- The backing of an international recruitment group, combined with the agility of a specialist brand
- A collaborative, ambitious culture where success is recognised and celebrated
- Ongoing learning and development to support your long-term career
- A modern New York office and regular opportunities to connect and celebrate with the wider team
If you're looking for an internal Talent Acquisition role where you'll genuinely influence business growth, work closely with senior leaders, and help build high-performing recruitment teams, we'd love to hear from you.
