AJ Connect is growing, and we’re looking for someone at the early stages of their career to join us as a Recruitment Consultant.
This isn’t a seat at the table. It’s a voice at it.
You’ll work directly with the founders, focused on interim and contract Accounting & Finance appointments, with a UK-wide remit supporting SMEs across renewables, manufacturing, IT & tech, and construction.
From day one you’ll have exposure to senior finance professionals and business leaders at some of the most exciting SMEs in the UK, giving you a genuine grounding in sales and relationship-led recruitment.
What you’ll be doing

• Identifying and approaching SMEs with interim/contract finance needs, and building relationships with finance leaders and candidates
• Managing the full recruitment lifecycle, from client brief through to placement and aftercare
• Sourcing, screening, and interviewing interim and contract finance professionals
• Building and maintaining a pool of readily available interim finance talent
• Generating new business through calls, networking, and market activity
• Negotiating terms of business, day rates, and contract details with clients
• Managing candidate compliance, referencing, and onboarding
• Providing market insight and career advice to candidates to build long-term relationships
• Keeping the CRM up to date to support a clear, live pipeline
• Working closely with the founders to prioritise roles and shape desk strategy.

What’s on offer

• A proper tech stack, so you focus on recruitment, not admin
• Highly competitive commission structure
• Autonomy to build your desk and personal brand
• No micro-management. No vanity KPIs. We track the numbers that help you succeed
• Career progression, personal development and training
• A team that backs you, wants you to win, and has a hell of a lot of fun along the way.

Working setup
HQ’d in Edinburgh, hybrid and flexible. Three days in the office, two from home.
Is this you?
I won’t pretend it’s a straight line to success. The standards are high and the targets are ambitious. But if you want to build a career in sales, learn from the ground up, and build a name for yourself in an in-demand market, this is a great place to start.
