Senior Executive Search Consultant - #2081850

SENIOR EXECUTIVE SEARCH CONSULTANT - Leeds

KERV Capital is one of the UK’s fastest-growing executive search and recruitment groups, operating across the UK, Europe, North America and the Middle East with offices in London, Leeds, Dubai and Florida.

We are hiring experienced recruiters and executive search consultants across Manufacturing, Engineering, Construction, Utilities, Power and Mission Critical markets.

We are also open to speaking with recruiters from wider backgrounds who are genuinely motivated by transitioning into executive search and retained delivery.

For high-performing individuals with leadership ambitions, we have the infrastructure and investment capability to support the growth of new teams and business units.

Why Join KERV?

Most recruiters eventually hit a ceiling:

• Limited progression
• Minimal development beyond billing
• Poor infrastructure and support
• Outdated management styles
• Environments lacking energy, collaboration and ambition

At KERV, we’ve built a platform designed to help experienced consultants scale.

This includes:

• Dedicated in-house marketing and branding support
• Shared finance, HR and operations functions
• Automated outreach and candidate generation tools
• Inbound lead generation through market-focused content
• Advanced workshops with senior stakeholders
• Leadership and management training programmes
• EMI share scheme opportunities
• Competitive commission and accelerator structures

One recent example:

A consultant who billed £150k in 2024 completed our advanced development programme, billed £425k in 2025 - with a significant retained portfolio - and now manages a growing team within the group.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for consultants with:

• 12-18+ months recruitment or executive search experience
• A demonstrable billing track record
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Commercial credibility and ambition
• High personal standards and intensity
• A genuine interest in long-term progression

This role suits recruiters who want more than just another desk - people looking to build long-term careers within a collaborative, high-performance environment.

Confidential conversations welcomed.
