Manchester City Centre – Hybrid or Remote
Excellent Base + Commission + Benefits

We’re currently looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant to join our AI team in a delivery-focused role, supporting some of the most technically advanced AI companies in the UK with their software engineering hiring.

This position is designed for a consultant who wants to focus purely on talent acquisition and candidate delivery. There is a strong focus on deep market knowledge, candidate relationships, crafting strong candidate experiences, and delivering consistently high-quality outcomes for our established client base.

Why us?

We’ve been operating in the AI market for over eight years, long before it became a mainstream focus, and our software specialism for even longer.

Our clients include some of the most prominent AI labs globally, alongside early-stage companies founded by leaders coming out of organisations such as Google DeepMind, Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, and IBM.

Much of our work has been built through long-term relationships and reputation rather than volume-led sales. That depth allows our delivery consultants to work closely with trusted clients, partnering with them on complex hiring challenges and contributing genuine market and technical insight, rather than working transactional roles at speed.

We’re driven by the goal of making ourselves unavoidable in the movement of high-calibre talent, both in AI and across the other specialist markets we cover. You’ll fit in here if you value an environment where autonomy is respected, knowledge is shared openly, and there’s no rigid, one-size-fits-all approach to success.

What you’ll do

As a senior delivery consultant, you’ll be trusted to own the candidate side of your market from day one. Your role will focus on:

  • Delivering on roles for existing AI clients across software engineering disciplines
  • Identifying opportunities within our current client base to support on more positions
  • Building and maintaining long-term relationships with high-calibre candidates in the UK AI ecosystem
  • Acting as a market expert to clients, providing insight on talent availability, skill trends, and hiring strategy
  • Managing the full candidate lifecycle, from sourcing and engagement through to offer management and aftercare
  • Partnering closely with 360 consultants and hiring managers to ensure accurate, high-quality delivery
  • Contributing to the ongoing development and credibility of a specialist AI desk within a well-established team

Who will thrive here

We’re looking for someone with at least one year of in-agency recruitment experience, ideally within software or another technical market. Prior AI experience isn’t essential, but curiosity about the space and a willingness to learn is important.

More than background alone, we care about how you approach your market. The people who perform best here are genuinely invested in the industries they recruit for. They take time to understand how their market works, who shapes it, and where it’s heading.

That might show up through how you engage candidates, how you keep up with technical trends, or how you think about long-term talent pipelines rather than short-term placements.

We’re interested in what gives you an edge as a delivery consultant, how you build trust with candidates, how you add value beyond sending CVs, and how you operate as part of the ecosystem rather than just a facilitator.

Above all, we look for people who believe in recruitment built on honesty, integrity, autonomy, and trust. If you care about doing high-quality work properly, and about the long-term impact you have on your market, you’ll fit in well here.

If you want to be seen as part of the industry you support, not just adjacent to it, you’ll feel at home at Cubiq.

Perks and benefits

  • Market-leading, uncapped commission with no threshold.
  • Clear and transparent progression routes, including pathways into senior and leadership roles

  • City-centre office with on-site gym, breakout spaces, pool table, bike storage, and on-site parking
