Join RIZE and develop your career in specialist recruitment
RIZE is a specialist recruitment business supporting clients across three core markets: Telecommunications, Energy and Data Centres.
We help businesses secure the specialist professionals they need to deliver technically demanding projects across Germany and the wider DACH region. Our clients can access flexible recruitment solutions covering freelance, AÜG and permanent appointments.
Due to continued growth, we are looking for an ambitious and commercially driven Recruitment Consultant to help expand our client and candidate networks across our specialist markets.
This is an excellent opportunity to join an established recruitment business with a strong presence in Germany, a compelling client proposition and several recruitment solutions to take to market.
The Role
As a 360 Recruitment Consultant, you will develop new client relationships, grow existing accounts and connect businesses with specialist professionals across Telecommunications, Energy and Data Centres.
You will take ownership of the full recruitment lifecycle: identifying commercial opportunities, qualifying client requirements, sourcing candidates, managing interviews, negotiating offers and successfully completing placements.
You will build strong relationships with clients and candidates, develop an understanding of their markets and position RIZE as a knowledgeable, reliable and consultative recruitment partner.
Your Responsibilities
You will:

- Position RIZE as a specialist recruitment partner across technically demanding markets.
- Work closely with colleagues across the business, sharing market intelligence, candidate networks and client opportunities.
- Maintain accurate records of business development activity, candidate pipelines and client opportunities within the CRM.
- Monitor market developments and identify emerging hiring needs and commercial opportunities.
Our Recruitment Solutions
You will be able to offer clients three core recruitment solutions:
- Freelance recruitment: Providing specialist professionals for project-based requirements.
- AÜG recruitment: Employing and assigning professionals compliantly through RIZE’s German Arbeitnehmerüberlassung licence.
- Permanent recruitment: Supporting permanent appointments through contingency and retained search agreements.
This gives you the flexibility to develop solutions around each client’s operational, commercial and compliance requirements.

- Experience recruiting within a candidate-short or technically specialised market.
- Experience selling recruitment, staffing or professional services.
- Knowledge of the German or wider DACH recruitment market.
