Working at Pioneer Search Ltd

Our Directors, Mark Warburton and Tom Vincent, set up Pioneer Search 5 years ago. Their objective? To deliver a consultative recruitment experience for candidates within IT and clients within Financial Services.

Since then, Pioneer has grown and evolved into an £8m per year turnover company who recruit for Big Blue Chips, banks, insurance companies and European electronics companies. Now we are looking for smart, driven and engaging individuals to help us expand over the next 24 months.

We have 2 teams; Electronic Engineering and Technology & Change. Within the teams, our experienced Consultants focus on different areas including Software Development, Infrastructure & Cloud, BI & Big Data, Embedded, Electronics and Agile & Change.

Why choose us? 

There are many myths surrounding recruitment. 'You'll be earning £100k a year!' A recruiter once said. It is of course possible to earn that much if you put in the hard work and years, but, at Pioneer we're realistic with our targets and expectations of you. We will give you on the job training and access to an online training platform so you can reach your full potential.

We offer a competitive salary dependent on experience, and a commission scheme paying up to 30% of what you generate. Also, let's not forget, 100's of benefits in our Perkbox portal!

You will get the chance to work in amazing new offices in Blackfriars with a 180' degree view of the London Skyline, and get to go out on some epic team nights with your amazing colleagues!

Overall we want you to enjoy working at Pioneer, and we will do all in our abilities to make sure you have a prosperous and content career with us. 

Our Culture...

Being a small office means culture and fit is imperative for us. We all get on and like banter but we're also well aware we have a job to get done. Joining Pioneer at this key stage in it's growth means you have a massive impact on the future of Pioneer and who we hire next.

The candidates and clients we work with are corporate and usually pretty senior which means that we do have to be serious some of the time, but when we're not on the phone to clients and candidates there is usually lot's of jokes and banter whizzing across the office, with discussions of next team nights out top of the chat!

We like to do a monthly night out like crazy golf, bowling or go-karting, but we will also do drinks after work as and when people are around.

 A word from a Pioneer...

"I joined Pioneer Search a year ago as one of their research consultants. From joining a week after finishing off my degree it was a quick jump from University to the working world. From day one I had an incredible support network around me, offering training and personal development to help me succeed.

Since starting I have moved into an Associate Consultant position after being awarded “Top Trainee of 2017” where I am now looking to engage with clients directly and manage my own desk. Through the support and tools I have been provided through Pioneer, this is something I aim to be accomplishing soon."
