Recruitment Consultant – National Security / Cyber Security

 

Cheltenham HQ

Hybrid Working

Up to £35k DOE + Uncapped Commission (Up to 30% on everything)


Clearance Knowledge (SC/DV) Desirable | SME-Focused | Candidate-Led Market

​

Ready to recruit the people protecting the nation?
They don’t do red tape, toxic culture, or micromanagement.

They do autonomy, excellence, and real impact.

Our Cyber & National Security desk is booming with clients, roles, and exclusive work, now we need someone sharp to help us find the best talent in the sector.

If you’ve worked in or around cyber security, national security, or tech recruitment and you get what SC, DV, and the national clearance world means (or you're eager to learn quickly) this could be your move.

​

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Deliver into high-demand cyber & national security roles - SMEs who supply into Primes (not the Primes themselves).

  • Understand and navigate the complex world of security clearance (SC/DV/green badges).

  • Find and engage rare talent in a tight, exclusive, and candidate-short market.

  • Build strong relationships with both candidates and clients - you’ll own the delivery.

  • Report into the Cyber/National Security lead, and work alongside a tight-knit, high-performing team.

​

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experience in tech, cyber, defence, or national security recruitment preferred, but we’ll consider sharp resourcers or consultants from other sectors (marketing, tech, software, accountancy) who want to go niche.

  • Solid understanding of or willingness to research security clearances (SC, DV, etc.).

  • Delivery-first mindset - we’ve got the jobs, we need the people.

  • Personality matters - no egos, no hard sellers - no d*cks.

  • You're curious, coachable, resilient, and can laugh at yourself.

​

Salary & Commission:

  • £25-28k (Junior)

  • £30-35k (Mid)

  • £40-45k (Senior)

  • Uncapped Commission up to 30% (on total monthly invoice value - no thresholds).

​

Why?

  • Boutique, high-performing team - close-knit, honest, fun.

  • Cheltenham town centre office, but flexible hybrid working (just Wednesday as a fixed in-office day).

  • Tools of the trade provided - LinkedIn Recruiter, Odro, Ocean IO, and more.

  • Supportive leadership - zero micromanagement. We enable, not control.

  • Quarterly bonuses, lunch clubs, and a culture where people care.

The Process:

  1. Chat with (MD) - values, vibes, and vision.

  2. Follow-up with MD and Manager - experience deep dive, clearance knowledge, and more.
