Job description

Darogan is Wales’ Graduate Hub — the only dedicated platform focused solely on graduate careers in Wales.

Through our digital platform, events, and recruitment services, we connect degree-educated talent with employers across the country. We believe Wales is a brilliant place to live and work, and our mission is to make sure every student and graduate knows this too.

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a SeniorRecruitmentConsultant to play a key role in delivering high-quality recruitment partnerships and shaping the future of graduate talent in Wales.

About the Role

This is a senior, hands-on role combining business development, recruitment delivery, client partnership, and strategic input. You’ll work closely with employers, graduates, and the Darogan team to design and deliver work that genuinely makes an impact. You’ll have real ownership, autonomy, and the opportunity to help shape how Darogan’s offering develops as the organisation grows.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Growing our portfolio of clients through business development activities
• Acting as a trusted partner to clients, understanding their hiring needs and advising on attraction and selection strategies
• Screening, interviewing, and supporting candidates throughout the recruitment process
• Supporting events, employer engagement activities, and careers initiatives
• Using CRM and recruitment systems to manage pipelines, data, and reporting
• Helping mentor and support junior team members as the team grows

You’ll likely have:

• Experience in recruitment, talent acquisition, or consultancy (graduate or early-career recruitment experience is a strong advantage)
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
• The confidence to manage clients and campaigns independently
• An interest in skills, employability, and the future of work in Wales
• Welsh language skills are welcomed but not essential
• Experience of designing CRM processes and automations would also be advantageous, but is not essential

The Details

• Salary of £35,000 – £40,000 (dependent on experience)
• 15% commission
• 25 holidays + bank holidays
• Hybrid working: remote with one day a week at our Cardiff office

Why Join Darogan ?

• Make a real difference to graduate careers in Wales
• Work in a purpose-driven, growing organisation
• High levels of trust, autonomy, and responsibility
• Opportunity to shape services, not just deliver them
• Supportive, flexible working culture
