Job Description

Phaidon International is a multi-award-winning talent partner, recognised for service and growth. Backed by private equity, we're now entering our most ambitious chapter yet. We are smart, driven people, with world-class training, and a relentless focus on specialist markets where the demand for great talent never slows down. You'll join one of our six industry-leading brands who operate in some of the most exciting and high-growth industries in the world. Here you'll build deep expertise in your niche to become a true market authority.

Job Responsibility

  • Client Development: From Fortune 500 giants to the fastest-growing start-ups, from day one you'll build and manage relationships with hiring managers and business leaders across your specialist sector. Negotiate agreements, understand their talent needs, and become their go-to talent partner.
  • Candidate Engagement: Identify and headhunt top mid-to-senior and executive-level professionals. Pick up the phone. Make connections. Build a pipeline of exceptional talent through proactive outreach and genuine relationship-building.
  • End-to-End Process Management: Own the full recruitment cycle, from introductions and interviews through to offer negotiation and post-placement support. You'll be the person both sides rely on to get it right.
  • Embrace Technology and Data: We equip our consultants with best-in-class tools and data to work smarter and move faster. You'll use technology to identify opportunities, track market trends, and sharpen your outreach - but it's your expertise and relationships that turn insight into results. We're not replacing the human element. We're supercharging it.

Requirements

  • Ambition: You want to build something, earn well, and grow fast
  • Communication: You're confident, clear, and know how to adapt your style
  • Professionalism: You show up prepared, follow through, and carry yourself with maturity
  • Work ethic: Whether it's sport, part-time work, internships or academics, you've shown what you're made of
  • 3-5 years in recruitment, sales or business development
  • Japanese: Native or JLPT N1 proficiency required

What we offer

  • uncapped commission
  • award-winning internal training
  • leading healthcare benefits
