Recruitment Consultant - Senior Finance

Ready to pick up a warm desk, grow a market, and help shape the future of a recruitment business that actually cares?

At Sewell Wallis, we do things a bit differently. We’re not completely reinventing the wheel (spoiler: no recruiters are), but your experience working for us will be different to other places. No empty KPIs. No churn and burn. Just good people doing great work, with clients and candidates we genuinely care about.

And right now, we’re looking for someone brilliant to join our Senior Finance division in Leeds. Whether you’re already a high-performing finance specialist, or you’re wanting a change to your usual desk, this is your opportunity to help us build something special.

What you’ll be doing?

• Manage permanent and interim senior finance roles (£55k–£100k) across North and West Yorkshire.
• Maintain our network and strengthen relationships with our clients and candidates in the region.
• Drive new business activity, building your own client portfolio alongside existing relationships.
• Pitch for new business and PSL opportunities.
• Work with our Marketing Manager to create and share relevant, useful content to position yourself as a market expert and stand out from the crowd.
• Represent Sewell Wallis at industry events and networking opportunities.

Who we’re looking for?

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

• An experienced senior finance recruiter or a professional services recruiter ready to step up.
• Commercially sharp, with a track record of business development and client relationship building.
• A collaborative team player who gets stuck in and supports others.
• Someone who loves the recruitment industry and wants to be part of shaping a business, not just working in one.
• Full of ideas and always looking for better ways of doing things.

What’s in it for you

• Market-leading salary + one of the best bonus schemes in the region.
• You’ll work on a hybrid model - we’re open to what this looks like for the right person.
• We understand life happens, even on work days.
• Flexible hours - our standard is 9am to 5:30pm, but if this doesn’t work for you, we’ll figure it out together.
• 25 days holiday + your birthday off + bank holidays + full Christmas shutdown.
• Private healthcare.
• Development and learning opportunities, based on what you want from your career – there’s no one size fits all here.
• The chance to work in a growing, high-performing division for a business with no toxic hierarchy, where we’ve all got each other’s backs.
• A culture built around autonomy and honesty.
• Being part of a diverse team, with access to well-being training and mental health first aiders.
• Leaders who work shoulder to shoulder with you, supporting your career development.
• Company-wide incentives with fab prizes, and a Summer and Winter party each year.
