Senior Consultant / Principal Consultant

At Harken Search, we believe recruitment should do more than fill roles.

It should be built on delivery, transparency, trust, and impact.

We’re a values-led headhunting firm working across the construction industry, and we’re now looking for an experienced Senior Consultant or Principal Consultant to join us as we begin to grow the business.

This is a role for someone with a track record in the construction industry, who is commercially strong, self-sufficient, and aligned with a more purposeful way of working.

We care about how you do recruitment, not just the numbers.

The Role

You will operate as a senior hire within the business, owning and growing your own desk while contributing to the wider direction and culture of Harken Search.

This is a fully remote role, offering autonomy, flexibility, and trust – with the expectation that you bring the experience and professionalism to match.

You will:

* Develop, manage, and grow your own client base within the construction sector

* Deliver end-to-end search assignments at a senior level

* Build long-term, trusted relationships with clients and candidates

* Manage your own pipeline, delivery, and revenue

* Represent Harken Search’s values in every interaction

What matters most is a strong track record within construction and the ability to win and deliver work independently.

Experience in residential construction is essential for this position.

About You

This role is suited to someone who is already operating successfully at Senior Consultant or Principal level, who wants more flexibility, a better work-life balance, and is looking for a business that aligns with their values.

You will have:

* Proven experience bringing in and delivering your own business

* A strong network within the construction industry

* A consultative, relationship-led approach

* High standards around delivery, integrity, and communication

* The maturity and self-motivation to work remotely and autonomously

You care about how you do recruitment, not just the numbers.

Why Join Harken Search?

* Values-led business: Delivery, transparency, trust, and impact are not just words – they guide how we operate

* Purpose beyond profit: We donate 10% of all invoices to our charity partners

* Remote-first: Work from wherever you perform best

* Autonomy and trust: No micromanagement – you are trusted to do your job well

* Opportunity to shape the future: Join a growing firm where your voice and contribution genuinely matter

Interested?

If you’re an experienced construction recruiter who wants to work in a business that values integrity, impact, and long-term relationships, we’d love to hear from you.
