Recruitment consultant

Help us “Elevate Education, Everywhere.”

Here at Etio, we are committed to improving education systems at scale. We work with governments and institutions globally to deliver impactful, evidence-based solutions that strengthen teaching, leadership, and outcomes for learners.

As our work continues to grow, we are looking for a Recruitment Consultant to support the delivery of newly awarded education contracts across the UK.

The Opportunity

This is a great opportunity for an experienced education recruiter to step into a role with real purpose and impact.

You will manage your own recruitment activity end to end, supporting the successful delivery of our programmes by sourcing and placing high quality education professionals. While this role offers autonomy and pace, it also provides a more balanced environment where quality, relationships, and long term impact matter just as much as delivery.

You will work closely with internal stakeholders and build strong candidate pipelines, ensuring we have the right people in place to support schools, programmes, and ultimately learners.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing end to end recruitment processes, from briefing through to offer
• Sourcing, screening, and placing high quality candidates within the education sector
• Building and maintaining strong talent pipelines aligned to current and future contract needs
• Conducting candidate interviews and supporting preparation throughout the hiring process
• Ensuring full compliance across all placements, including DBS, references, and right to work checks
• Delivering a high quality experience for both candidates and internal stakeholders
• Supporting recruitment reporting, administration, and data management

The Person

We are looking for someone who understands the impact of education recruitment and takes pride in doing it well.

You will bring experience in education recruitment, ideally within an agency environment, and be confident managing multiple roles at pace. You build relationships naturally, communicate clearly, and take ownership of your work.

You are organised, detail oriented, and comfortable working in a structured, compliance driven environment. You care about quality, not just speed, and understand the importance of placing the right people in the right roles.

• Familiarity with ATS systems and talent pooling strategies

• Experience working in a project based or contract driven environment
