Job Description
Head of Executive Search leading a recruitment team for Start to Finish Consulting, a boutique finding key talent for e-commerce startups. Managing executive searches, KPIs, processes, and growth.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the recruitment team of currently 4–5 recruiters, with disciplinary responsibility for team performance and development.
- Manage selected search mandates from the intake phase through successful placement.
- Monitor KPIs, placements, and revenue generated through success fees, and manage the team based on data.
- Develop recruiters professionally and identify individual areas for growth.
- Ensure high quality standards and an average time-to-hire of 20–30 days, even as volume increases.
- Continuously improve recruiting processes and take automation, AI, and the tech stack to the next level.
- Work closely with the executive team and help shape the scaling of the executive search service.
Requirements:
- You have already led an experienced recruitment or executive search team with disciplinary responsibility and know how to genuinely develop senior recruiters.
- You are comfortable working with numbers and focused on KPIs—but measure performance by output, efficiency, quality, placements, and revenue, not by the number of messages someone sends.
- You enjoy working directly with founders, managing directors, and senior executives, and can act as a trusted sparring partner at eye level.
- You have a genuine hunter mentality: roles are filled through structured sourcing and proactive outreach—not through “post and pray.”
- You have a strong track record of filling commercial roles, particularly in areas such as go-to-market, sales, marketing, e-commerce, or business.
- You think entrepreneurially, take ownership, and are motivated not merely to manage a team but to actively improve recruiting processes.
Benefits:
- Attractive base salary plus performance-based commission.
- 100% remote—work wherever you perform at your best.
- Budget for your personal and professional development.
- Regular team events and an annual team workation.
- A flexible working environment based on trust rather than control.
- Plenty of scope to make an impact: actively develop the team, processes, automations, and tech stack.
