Who We Are
UMATR is a multi-award-winning recruitment agency built around a simple principle: you matter. We believe the best way to predict the future is to bring together the people who will build it.
Operating across 34 countries, we partner with some of the world’s most exciting tech companies - think Crunchbase, eBay, ITV, Klarna, Ticketmaster, and countless high-growth start-ups - helping them scale through a relationship-first, high-performance approach.
We’ve been recognised as the Global Recruiter “Best Start-Up” and ranked in the Top 50 UK Most Elite Businesses, thanks to our innovation, track record, and commitment to DE&I.
Now, we’re hiring someone ambitious to join one of the fastest-paced, highest-reward, and career-defining paths in the industry - contract recruitment.
About the Opportunity
We’re offering an opportunity to build a contract recruitment desk from scratch, in a market that moves fast and rewards even faster. This is your chance to join a business with structure, training, mentorship, and unlimited upside.
You’ll learn how to:
- Identify live opportunities and open contract projects
- Build and scale a niche contract desk
- Own a contract book that can genuinely change your life
- Master a proven, repeatable process that delivers results
You’ll be working alongside a high-performing team, backed by a brand that opens doors, in one of the most proven and lucrative recruitment markets in the world.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re not fussed about years of experience. We’re looking for evidence of grit, drive, and a pattern of high performance - people who leave “breadcrumbs of success” behind them.
You might have:
- A short stint in recruitment in the UK
- A background in competitive sports and a winner’s mindset
- Experience in Dubai Real Estate (if you can survive that, you can survive anything)
- Graduated and gone above and beyond the classroom - maybe you’ve built a side hustle, held a leadership role, or launched something of your own
What Actually Matters
- You have a strong “why” behind your goals and want to build something for yourself
- You’re willing to get uncomfortable and do hard things
- You understand delayed gratification and value long-term wins over short-term dopamine
- You’ve got consistency in your work ethic
- You’re relentless
