The best specialism for you will depend on your interests, network, and previous experience.
What kind of clients will I be working with as a senior recruitment consultant?
This will depend on which industry you specialise in or whether you’d prefer to be in an environment where you can recruit for many different industries.

Other management roles: They can become managers and lead a team of recruiters. They help guide their team and ensure everyone is doing their best work.
Recruitment specialisation: Senior recruitment consultants can choose to specialise in recruiting for a specific industry or type of job. This makes them very knowledgeable in that area, which can be very valuable!
Training and development: Senior recruitments can move into roles where they exclusively train new recruiters. This is a good option for those who enjoy teaching and guiding others.
Director-level roles: Senior recruitment consultants are in an excellent spot for potentially higher positions later down the line. These roles involve more planning and decision-making for specific hiring strategies.
