Senior Consultant

Venor continues its trajectory as a leading talent partner for organizations throughout Atlantic Canada. Growing client demand and emerging market opportunities have prompted the need for additional Senior Consultants to our established team of talent experts. While a background in recruitment/talent assessment is highly desirable, the priority is someone with a proven history in developing authentic client relationships and exceeding revenue targets in their market segment.    

As a trusted partner to our clients, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our growth trajectory—expanding existing relationships, developing new business, and delivering exceptional recruitment solutions. You are someone who leads with integrity, expertise, and a commitment to service excellence, and who is energized by building something meaningful in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment.

The Opportunity

In this role, you will own and grow your business unit—driving revenue, building long-term client partnerships, and delivering full-cycle recruitment solutions. You will act as a strategic advisor, helping clients navigate hiring challenges while positioning Venor as their partner of choice. This is an ideal opportunity for someone coming from consulting, recruitment, or professional services, with a strong foundation in business development, account management, and relationship building.

What You’ll Do

• Lead sales and business development efforts, identifying and securing new client opportunities while expanding existing relationships.
• Build and manage a portfolio of clients and searches, delivering full-cycle recruitment from intake through to offer and onboarding.
• Act as a trusted advisor, providing market insight, talent intelligence, and strategic hiring guidance to clients.
• Develop and execute growth strategies aligned with business unit targets and broader company objectives.
• Achieve and exceed monthly, quarterly, and annual revenue targets, supported by clear KPIs and disciplined pipeline management.

• Collaborate with internal teams to deliver a best-in-class recruitment experience for both clients and candidates.
• Utilize social media and market presence to build awareness, promote opportunities, and strengthen your talent pipeline.
• Provide insight to marketing to support content strategy and market positioning within your vertical
• Attend and participate in networking events and industry engagements to elevate your brand at Venor.

What You Bring

• Proven success in sales, business development, or client-facing consulting roles
• Experience in professional services, recruitment, or advisory environments is strongly preferred.
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to identify opportunities and convert relationships into business.
• A natural ability to build trust, influence, and advise at all levels of an organization.
• High level of drive, accountability, and resilience in a fast-paced, target-driven environment.
• Exceptional communication, organization, active listening, and time management skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining a strong sense of urgency and attention to detail.
• A collaborative mindset with the ability to work independently and as part of a high-performing team.

Why Join Venor

This is more than a traditional recruitment role—it’s an opportunity to build, lead, and shape a key vertical within a growing recruitment consulting firm. You’ll have the autonomy to grow your business, the support of an experienced team, and the ability to make a meaningful impact on both our clients and our organization.

The recruitment skills can be learned, but our core values – driving results with honesty, integrity, and a client-first attitude – must already be there. While we see opportunity in construction, financial services, sales & marketing, mining, health care, aerospace & defense, and other sectors, an SME who lives these values from another industry is welcome.   If this sounds like you, feel free to connect with us in strict confidence.
