Join Cubiq - Speculative Applications

Roles: All divisions, all levels
Location: Manchester City Centre
Market focus: AI, robotics and autonomy, and ERP, across the UK, Europe and the US
Package: Uncapped commission, no threshold, up to 50%, plus share scheme

Some of the most interesting work in tech right now is happening in the markets we recruit in. Artificial intelligence, robotics and autonomy, and the enterprise software that runs industry. We operate across the UK, Europe and the US, and as a recruiter it’s a good time to be building a career in these markets.

We’ve been in these fields since before most agencies began recruiting into them, and the best firms were already relying on us back then. That head start shows in the network we can open up for you, and the doors you’ll go through from day one.

For you, that means warm introductions, clients who value our pedigree, and career-best deals often within your first few months, whatever your level.

We’re always on the lookout for talented recruiters who want to own a specialist market and build something they’re proud of. If that’s you, we’d like to hear from you even when we’re not advertising a specific role.

The role, your team, and Cubiq

Whichever specialism you join, you’ll be with people who are fully embedded in industry. Our teams work across artificial intelligence, robotics and autonomy, defence & aerospace and ERP, partnering with respected labs, industry pioneers and household-names. Most of our consultants are among the most well known recruiters in their markets, so a lot of our best work comes in on reputation alone.

The way our teams work together is what a lot of people say they love about being here. They share wins and clients, and they genuinely want each other to do well. We go deep into specialist markets so that clients treat us as partners rather than another agency on the PSL, and we’re all here with an understanding that recruitment is a career worth sticking to rather than a stepping stone.

What you’ll do

• Own and grow a specialist desk, running the end-to-end recruitment process
• Build lasting relationships with clients and candidates in your market
• Win new business and turn one-off placements into repeat partnerships
• Deliver against live roles while building active candidate pipelines
• Advise employers on hiring strategy, talent availability and where the market’s moving
• Build a personal brand that builds credibility, and brings clients and candidates to you
• Grow into new subsectors, geographies or a team of your own as you go

What we’re looking for

We hire on attitude and track record more than tenure, and we back people who back themselves. We’d like to talk to you if you recognise yourself in most of this:

• A strong billing track record in 360 recruitment, at any level
• Experience in tech, engineering or specialist markets is welcome, though the right mindset matters more
• The commercial instinct to spot and win new business
• Someone who treats their market like it’s theirs to own
• Strong communication and negotiation, with clients and candidates alike
• The ambition to work at a high bar and become the go-to name in a niche

What a top performer looks like

The people who do best here are consistent, strong on business development, and they treat their market like it’s theirs to own. They grow the desk by winning new clients and turning them into repeat business, with a healthy pipeline behind it.

They move quickly, prioritise well, and judge themselves on results, and they’re rewarded for it. Over time they become the go-to name in their niche, someone clients trust and candidates actually want to hear from.

Resilience and a competitive streak matter, but what really sets people apart here is attitude and thinking long term. The ones who commit to a market are the ones who become genuinely impossible to replace, and the market knows it’s them and Cubiq behind it.

Perks and benefits

• A market-leading commission structure, uncapped with no threshold, up to 50%
• A share scheme, so you own a share of what you build

• Real investment in you becoming embedded in your market, with conference and event attendance and personal branding support
