ABOUT US
We are an established and well-regarded recruitment agency based in Milton Keynes, specialising exclusively in the retail technology sector. Our retail technology consultants are specialists in their fields. They understand the unique challenges of the market and keep up-to-date with its intricacies by regularly attending events like NRF, The Retail Technology Show, Retail Expo and more.
Our product sector specialisms include: Cash Automation, POS/EPOS/Payments, Self-Service/Kiosk, Auto-ID/AIDC, Digital Signage & Electronic Shelf Label (ESL), E-Commerce, Marketing Systems, Loyalty and Rewards.
We are a relationship-led business. That means we invest in people — our clients, our candidates, and our team. We don't do transactional. We do trusted. And that reputation has been built carefully over many years.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for an experienced recruitment consultant who shares that ethos and is ready to make their mark on a thriving desk. THE ROLE
This is a hands-on, full 360° recruitment consultancy role focused exclusively on the retail technology sector. You'll be working with a broad range of clients — from innovative retail technology vendors and solution providers to leading retailers and e-commerce businesses — building relationships, winning new business, and making quality permanent placements that make a genuine difference to the businesses and candidates you work with.
Milton Keynes sits at the heart of a thriving commercial corridor, well connected to London, the Midlands and beyond — making it an ideal base from which to serve a national client base across the retail technology space.
You'll be given access to a strong suite of tools and a market-leading CRM to help you identify, engage and convert your target audience — but make no mistake, this role is about people, not just process. The ability to build trust quickly and sustain long-term relationships is what sets our best consultants apart.
