________________________________________________________

We find the people who keep the world safe. Come find them with us.

At Complete Security Recruitment (CSR), we specialise in connecting top-tier fire, security and network infrastructure professionals with the companies that need them most.
We’re not generalists, we’re specialists who understand our market, speak the language, and build long-term relationships that actually add value.
We’re growing, we’re ambitious, and we’re looking for a Senior Talent Scout who wants to build a reputation in a niche market, not just fill jobs.
________________________________________________________

So, what’s the job?

As a Senior Talent Scout, your focus is building and owning a high-quality candidate network within your vertical.
Yes, this is a recruitment role, but the emphasis is on candidate relationships first. You’ll become a trusted contact in your market, working closely with professionals over time and placing them into the right opportunities when it matters.
You’re not just reacting to jobs, you’re building a talent pool that clients want access to.
________________________________________________________

Day to day, you’ll be:
*Headhunting passive candidates and building a "hot list" of 20+ in-demand professionals
*Managing the full candidate journey, from first conversation through to placement and aftercare
*Building long-term relationships and staying close to your network over time
*Understanding candidate motivations, career goals and market movement
*Working with clients to match the right people to the right opportunities
*Contributing to role briefings and ensuring candidate-market insight shapes delivery
*Developing deep market knowledge (salaries, trends, competitor activity)
*Acting as a genuine advocate for candidates, not just sending CV’s
What’s in it for you?

?? £25k-£30k basic salary + realistic £8,000-£12,000 commission/bonus
?? 25 days holiday from day one, rising to 30 with service
Annual incentive trip, genuinely worth qualifying for
?? Monthly lunch clubs for top performers
?? Regular team incentives and quarterly schemes
?? A clearly mapped career path with transparent promotion criteria
?? Ongoing training, including external support and access to a leading recruitment platform

What does progression look like?

Senior Talent Scout is a stepping stone, not a ceiling. From here, you can progress to:
Talent Manager Principal Consultant Team Manager Associate Director

Each step has clearly defined expectations, behaviours and targets. You’ll have structured quarterly reviews with documented feedback, no grey areas.
________________________________________________________

Who are we looking for?

You don’t need experience in fire and security, we’ll teach you the market. But you do need:
*Recruitment experience (you understand the fundamentals)
*A relationship-led mindset, you value long-term networks over quick wins
*Strong communication skills across phone, LinkedIn and face-to-face
*Curiosity about people, careers and what drives decision-making
*Resilience and consistency when things don’t land first time
*The motivation to take ownership of your niche and build something within it
What’s it like to work here?

We asked the team, here’s what they said:
"Love what I do. Trust, support." "Supportive. Relaxed but professionalism still matters. Great team incentives." "I enjoy coming to work."
86% of our team see themselves here in a year’s time, which tells you a lot.

We’re growing with purpose, investing in our people, and building a business where relationships, not transactions, drive success.
