Senior Consultant - Relocate to Australia

UK Recruiters – what if your next career move could take you to Australia?
Propel is excited to be partnered with a global Executive Search firm with offices across the UK, USA and APAC, who are looking for Senior and Principal-level Recruitment Consultants currently based in the UK who are ready to relocate to Australia.
With opportunities available in Sydney or Melbourne, this is an opportunity to take your recruitment career overseas while joining an existing, successful team – meaning you won't be starting from scratch.
If you've built a strong billing track record in the UK, enjoy working in a consultative environment and are looking for a change of lifestyle without compromising your career, this could be the move for you.
Why Australia?
Moving to Australia doesn't have to mean putting your career on hold. You'll join an established Executive Search business with a growing presence across APAC, working alongside experienced consultants and leadership teams who are already building successful markets.
Whether you're drawn to the energy of Sydney or the lifestyle and culture of Melbourne, you'll have the opportunity to continue doing what you're good at – building relationships, winning business and delivering exceptional talent – just in a new market.
And importantly, you'll be joining an existing team rather than being expected to build an office from the ground up.
The Company

They are open to recruiters coming from a range of sectors, so your recruitment background doesn't need to perfectly match their existing markets.
You'll be joining a business that combines the infrastructure and reach of an international search firm with the culture and autonomy of a high-performing specialist team.
The Role
As a Senior or Principal Consultant, you'll operate a full 360 recruitment desk, taking ownership of everything from business development and client management through to candidate delivery.You'll have the autonomy to develop your own market while benefiting from the support, infrastructure and existing relationships of a global business.
Depending on your experience and interests, there is scope to work across APAC and/or the US, giving you genuine international exposure from day one.
Your responsibilities will include:Developing and managing long-term relationships with clientsIdentifying and winning new business opportunitiesManaging the full 360 recruitment processDelivering Executive Search assignments across specialist marketsBuilding and maintaining strong candidate networksManaging your own desk and revenue targetsWorking collaboratively with the wider Australian and international teamsDeveloping into a senior leadership or management position as your career progresses
