Recruitment Consultant Medical jobs

Eden Private Staff is looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join our Private Staff and Family Office division.

This is not a cold business-development role. You will be working with an established desk, warm clients and existing relationships. However, success in this role depends on far more than simply filling vacancies. We are looking for a consultant with high emotional intelligence, strong judgement and the ability to build genuine trust with both clients and candidates.

In the private staff sector, the key differentiator is not only understanding a candidate’s experience, but also knowing whether their personality, communication style, discretion and approach will work within a particular household, family office or private environment. The ability to match personalities between client and candidate is central to this role.

The Role

You will manage end-to-end recruitment across private staff, household and family office positions, delivering a highly personal, consultative and relationship-led service.

Once engaged with a client, you will be expected to maintain frequent contact, ask thoughtful questions, understand the nuances of the household or office environment, and guide the client through every stage of the hiring process. This role requires continuous client interaction, careful expectation management and the confidence to advise clients honestly and professionally.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the full recruitment process from initial brief through to placement and aftercare
• Build and maintain trusted relationships with HNW and UHNW clients
• Conduct regular, meaningful client contact throughout each assignment
• Take detailed briefs, going beyond skills and experience to understand personality fit, working style, household dynamics and client expectations
• Provide consultative advice to clients on candidate suitability, market conditions, salary expectations and hiring decisions
• Develop strong relationships with high-calibre candidates
• Assess candidates on experience, presentation, discretion, judgement, emotional intelligence and long-term fit
• Match candidates and clients with careful consideration of personality, values and communication style
• Convert opportunities into successful placements, with a target of 1–2 placements per month
• Deliver excellent account management, follow-up and aftercare to support repeat business and long-term client relationships
