Overview

Senior Recruitment Consultant – Artificial Intelligence, DACH

Manchester City Centre - Hybrid or Remote

Excellent Base + Commission up to 50% + Benefits


We’re currently looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant to join our AI team, working with some of the most technically advanced AI companies, focused on the DACH region.


There is the opportunity to specialise in software, data engineering, machine learning or product.


This role is suited to an experienced consultant who operates with autonomy, values depth in their market, and wants to build long-term credibility in AI.


What you’ll do

As a senior consultant, you’ll take full ownership of your market and operate with a high degree of trust from day one. You will:



  • Deliver the full 360 recruitment cycle, from sourcing, to BD, to candidate management, to ongoing account management
  • Autonomously negotiate terms and manage commercial conversations with clients
  • Devise and execute your own client development strategy, either aligned to existing team playbooks and successes or shaped by your own experience
  • Inherit and grow established client relationships across the UK AI ecosystem
  • Work alongside a strong AI team with established credibility in the space
  • Contribute to scaling a specialist desk with the support of an experienced and supportive manager

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone with at least one year of recruitment experience in-agency, ideally within software, AI, or a related technical market. We have opportunities to specialise in software, product, data engineering or machine learning.


Beyond experience, we’re interested in how you approach your market and your work. The people who do well here are genuinely invested in the industries they recruit for, and take the time to understand how their market works, who and what shapes it, and where it’s heading in the future.


Practically, that might mean engaging with industry voices, following thought leaders, keeping up with developments in talent and people strategy, and taking the time to stay close to what’s happening in your space.


We’re interested in you being able to demonstrate what gives you an edge over the next recruiter calling the same prospect, and where you feel you add value rather than just facilitate transactions.


Aside from embedding yourself in your market, we look for people who believe in recruitment built on honesty, integrity, autonomy, and trust. You’ll fit in here if you’re someone who cares about the long-term impact you have on your market, and if you’re motivated by doing high-quality work properly rather than chasing short-term wins.


If you’re someone who wants to be seen as part of the industry you serve, not just adjacent to it, you’ll feel at home at Cubiq.


Perks and benefits

  • A market-leading, uncapped commission structure with no threshold, offering up to 50%
  • Clear and transparent routes to directorship, with individualised progression plans
  • Flexible and hybrid working arrangements
  • City-centre office with on-site gym, breakout spaces, pool table, bike storage, and on-site parking
  • Two annual holiday incentives, quarterly achievers club, late starts, early finishes, and additional performance incentives

Don’t see something that’s important to you? We’re pragmatic about our packages and do our best to tailor them for the right hires – just speak with us if something’s missing.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals.

The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.
