The Role
Due to continued growth, our Matchtech Defence team are looking for an experienced recruitment Consultant, to help establish our presence in the fast growing Defence Public Sector market.
Our Defence team have already seen a huge amount of growth, going from just 3 people 8 years ago, to now 50+ professionals across contract and permanent.
Many of their consultants have been with us for years; with a fantastic social culture and as a result, very low attrition.
Our Defence team is also one of the market leaders, with established relationships.
This role is to help us grow our presence in the public sector contract market – working with government and MOD departments to find niche talent across Digital, Defence, and Engineering.
