Recruitment Consultant – AI & Creative Tech | Hybrid | Manchester Airport

About FourPointZero

After six years of pioneering immersive tech recruitment, FourPointZero is expanding into AI talent placement. We've placed talent on projects for Alton Towers, Disneyland, and major film productions. Now we're applying that expertise to the AI revolution in creative technology, and we need an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join us.

The Opportunity

We're looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join our growing team and focus on the AI talent market. As a Recruitment Consultant at FourPointZero, you'll work exclusively on senior AI positions (£80k to £250k+) in creative technology where companies actually need recruitment expertise to assess and attract talent.

This is a genuine opportunity for a Recruitment Consultant who wants to specialise in high-value placements, work with recognised brands, and benefit from our existing client network whilst having autonomy to build your own desk.

What You'll Do as a Recruitment Consultant

  • Manage end-to-end recruitment for senior AI positions in creative tech

  • Build relationships with passive AI talent who aren't actively looking

  • Advise clients on AI team structure beyond individual hires

  • Handle complex negotiations, including equity, remote arrangements, and visa sponsorship

  • Use AI tools to automate admin tasks and focus on fee-generating activity

  • Create content that builds your reputation as an AI talent specialist

  • Share market intelligence and split opportunities with the team

    What makes this Recruitment Consultant Role Different

  • You'll focus on roles where technical assessment genuinely matters

  • Direct access to the CEO for strategic decisions

  • A commission structure that reflects the premium nature of AI placements

  • Warm client introductions from day one (no cold calling databases)

  • Budget for AI tools and continuous learning

  • Small team where your input shapes the business direction

    The Package

  • £24k to £32k base (depending on experience) + uncapped commission

  • Realistic OTE £70k to £100k in year one, £120k+ once established

  • 25 days holiday + birthday off

  • Enhanced pension and private healthcare

  • Hybrid working (3 days office, 2 remote)

  • AI and tech training budget

  • On-site gym and healthcare cashback scheme

  • Regular team socials

    What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience as a Recruitment Consultant (From any sector)

  • Full 360 recruitment experience

  • Genuine interest in understanding technology (you don't need to code)

  • Track record of building long-term candidate relationships

  • Commercial understanding of equity, funding rounds, and technical hiring

  • Ability to write content that demonstrates market knowledge

  • Resilience to handle rejection from senior candidates

    The Reality

    AI recruitment means learning constantly and having credible conversations with Principal Engineers about machine learning frameworks. You'll face rejection from candidates earning more than most MDs. Some clients won't understand why the perfect CV isn't the perfect hire.

    But you'll also place candidates who are building genuinely innovative technology. You'll earn premium fees. And you'll develop expertise in the fastest-growing sector in tech.

    Next Steps

    If you're an experienced Recruitment Consultant who wants to specialise in AI and creative technology, and you're interested in joining a business where your expertise is valued and rewarded, get in touch.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for Robotics Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's robotics sector has established itself as one of Europe's most innovative and rapidly expanding technology markets, with roles spanning from junior automation engineers to principal robotics scientists and heads of robotics development. With robotics positions commanding salaries from £32,000 for graduate robotics engineers to £100,000+ for senior principal engineers, understanding when organisations actively recruit can dramatically accelerate your career progression in this transformative and continuously evolving field. Unlike traditional engineering roles, robotics hiring follows distinct patterns influenced by manufacturing cycles, government automation incentives, and robotics deployment timelines. The sector's unique combination of mechanical engineering, software development, and artificial intelligence creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in building tomorrow's automated systems. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for robotics job applications in the UK, examining how national automation strategies, manufacturing cycles, and robotics technology initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a pioneering robotics development team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of autonomous systems and intelligent automation.

Pre-Employment Checks for Robotics Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

The robotics industry represents one of the most dynamic and transformative sectors in modern technology, with robotics professionals playing crucial roles in advancing automation capabilities, developing intelligent systems, and reshaping manufacturing, healthcare, service industries, and defence applications. As robotics evolves from industrial automation to autonomous systems and human-robot collaboration, pre-employment screening processes have become increasingly sophisticated and multifaceted. Robotics careers span diverse environments from manufacturing facilities and aerospace companies to healthcare robotics providers, autonomous vehicle developers, and emerging service robotics startups. Each sector brings unique screening requirements reflecting the safety-critical nature of robotic systems, the interdisciplinary complexity of robotics development, and the critical importance of maintaining both operational safety and system reliability standards. Understanding robotics pre-employment screening helps professionals navigate career opportunities effectively whilst enabling employers to identify candidates capable of contributing to robotics innovation whilst maintaining appropriate safety standards, regulatory compliance, and technical excellence. The screening processes examine not only technical robotics competencies but also safety awareness, system integration capabilities, and ability to work effectively across the multidisciplinary robotics ecosystem. This comprehensive guide examines the full spectrum of pre-employment screening practices across robotics careers, from basic right-to-work verification through enhanced safety clearance processes, technical competency assessment, and industry-specific requirements. Whether pursuing opportunities in industrial automation, autonomous systems development, medical robotics, or robotics research leadership, understanding these screening processes enables robotics professionals to prepare effectively and advance their careers successfully. The robotics sector's unique combination of mechanical engineering, software development, artificial intelligence, and human-machine interaction creates screening requirements that reflect both the technical demands of robotics innovation and the safety considerations of human-robot collaboration. These processes ultimately support the continued advancement of robotics by ensuring high professional standards and technical competence necessary for safe robotics deployment and responsible robotics technology development.
