Ortus PSR
Recruitment Consultant – Financial Services (Warm Desk)
Bristol (Hybrid) | Up to £40,000 basic + Earn 40% of revenue + PMI + Bonuses
Ortus PSR is a specialist recruitment consultancy working exclusively in financial planning and investment management. We place Paraplanners, Financial Advisers, Directors and C-suite leaders with high-growth SMEs, national IFA firms and international wealth management businesses across the UK.
We're hiring a Recruitment Consultant for our Bristol team. You'll inherit an active desk of established candidate relationships and industry connections from day one — a genuine platform to bill from quickly, with the scope to develop your own client base alongside it.
This is consultative recruitment, not CV-flinging. Our clients buy a range of products from exclusivity through to fully retained search, and they expect a trusted adviser who can talk credibly about market conditions, talent shortages and how to structure a hiring process that actually attracts top-tier people.
You'll also be backed by AI-enhanced tools that produce tailored client solutions and in-depth market summaries — taking the grunt work off your plate so your time goes on relationships and advisory work, where opportunity is created.
What you'll be doing
- Building relationships with business owners, heads of department and C-suite leaders across the IFA and investment management sector
- Advising clients on market conditions, talent strategy and recruitment structure — and having the difficult conversations others avoid
- Sourcing and managing a pipeline of experienced financial services professionals
- Developing new business alongside a warm, active desk of existing relationships
- Positioning our product range, from exclusive assignments through to retained search
What we're looking for
- Proven recruitment experience (any sector considered — financial services knowledge is a bonus, not a requirement)
- Confidence engaging senior stakeholders, including owners and C-suite
- A consultative, relationship-first mindset — you solve talent problems, you don't just fill vacancies
- The resilience to prospect, balanced with the skill to nurture and convert warm relationships
- A professional, credible manner suited to the financial services market
What's on offer
- Basic salary up to £40,000
- 40% of revenue generated — one of the strongest commission schemes in the market
- Warm desk with a hot candidate list and established industry connections
- Hybrid working from our Bristol base
- Private medical insurance
- A specialist, growing business where you'll work as a true consultant, not a KPI machine
