Recruitment Consultant – Financial Services (Warm Desk)

Recruitment Consultant – Financial Services (Warm Desk)

Bristol (Hybrid) | Up to £40,000 basic + Earn 40% of revenue + PMI + Bonuses

Ortus PSR is a specialist recruitment consultancy working exclusively in financial planning and investment management. We place Paraplanners, Financial Advisers, Directors and C-suite leaders with high-growth SMEs, national IFA firms and international wealth management businesses across the UK.

We're hiring a Recruitment Consultant for our Bristol team. You'll inherit an active desk of established candidate relationships and industry connections from day one — a genuine platform to bill from quickly, with the scope to develop your own client base alongside it.

This is consultative recruitment, not CV-flinging. Our clients buy a range of products from exclusivity through to fully retained search, and they expect a trusted adviser who can talk credibly about market conditions, talent shortages and how to structure a hiring process that actually attracts top-tier people.

You'll also be backed by AI-enhanced tools that produce tailored client solutions and in-depth market summaries — taking the grunt work off your plate so your time goes on relationships and advisory work, where opportunity is created.

What you'll be doing

Building relationships with business owners, heads of department and C-suite leaders across the IFA and investment management sector

Advising clients on market conditions, talent strategy and recruitment structure — and having the difficult conversations others avoid

Sourcing and managing a pipeline of experienced financial services professionals

Developing new business alongside a warm, active desk of existing relationships

Positioning our product range, from exclusive assignments through to retained search

What we're looking for

Proven recruitment experience (any sector considered — financial services knowledge is a bonus, not a requirement)

Confidence engaging senior stakeholders, including owners and C-suite

A consultative, relationship-first mindset — you solve talent problems, you don't just fill vacancies

The resilience to prospect, balanced with the skill to nurture and convert warm relationships

A professional, credible manner suited to the financial services market

What's on offer

Basic salary up to £40,000

40% of revenue generated — one of the strongest commission schemes in the market

Warm desk with a hot candidate list and established industry connections

Hybrid working from our Bristol base

Private medical insurance

A specialist, growing business where you'll work as a true consultant, not a KPI machine
