Overview

CRSI has built a strong reputation working with the leading investors to build high-performing teams for the most exciting, high-growth science and technology businesses.

Our mission is to be an amazing place to work, with great people who can accelerate their careers faster than within other professional services businesses.

Through the recruitment of high-calibre, motivated people, and a continual commitment to personal and career development, we have consistently achieved rapid growth and have a dynamic working environment.

What we do

Over the last 15 years, we have seen a significant growth in entrepreneurship, with more people wanting to build their own businesses. At CRSI, we work with investors and innovation partners to focus exclusively on those early-stage and high-growth businesses that have the ambition and potential to be leaders in their field.

Research has shown that there is a direct correlation between business success and the quality of the people. However, building high-performing teams is much more than just hiring the best people.

CRSI is the specialist consultancy that helps companies develop clear people strategies that include designing the ideal organisational structures, recruiting the most suitable, high-calibre individuals, defining, and protecting the culture, and ensuring that the teams perform to the highest level. This includes helping businesses develop and grow their international operations.

Working at CRSI

Our core mission is to develop an amazing place to work, with great people, who develop their careers at an accelerated rate.

In order to do this, we dedicate a lot of time and resources to building the right working environment, which allows people to grow and develop in a genuine team-based culture.

Often companies define teams as a group of people with the same role or job title. However, a real team is built by bringing together individuals with different skillsets to achieve a common goal.

Our consultants, analysts and researchers work together on projects in a range of sectors, including:

• Life Sciences and Healthcare
• B2B SaaS
• B2C
• Metaverse and Entertainment
• Physical Sciences
• Engineering

Some specialise in a particular sector, others on companies at a specific stage of development, whilst some enjoy the variety, and focus more on their functional skillset.

The key is that we are all ambitious and driven individuals who work together to ensure that our teams can deliver consistent excellence.

The Role – Senior Delivery Consultant (Recruitment)

The core objective of our delivery consultants is to ensure that clients can secure and retain the highest calibre individuals who will be able to achieve their main objectives. Whilst we are often paid when an individual joins a client, we are judged on how they perform in their role.

To this end we need to work very differently to a traditional recruiter. We are considered as genuine trusted advisors and part of their team (as opposed to suppliers).

As a consultant, you will be focused exclusively on delivery of fully retained projects.

Working closely with our Research team, you will ensure you have a detailed understanding of the scope of the requirement, the value proposition of the client, and the expected timescales.

From there, the Researchers will then develop a longlist of prioritised target individuals for you to headhunt and qualify. As with the clients, you will develop a trusted relationship with these individuals gaining a detailed understanding of their skills, experience, motivations, and aspirations. From this you will be able to qualify their suitability for the specific requirement, the emphasis being on accuracy.

You will manage the overall project with the client, ensuring they are informed of progress, challenges, and opportunities, as well as managing their recruitment process in a professional and effective manner.

This includes ensuring all objections or concerns are identified and managed, and all parties have real clarity throughout the process.

To achieve this, you will need to build strong relationships and develop trust through a detailed understanding of the market, company, role and individual, as well as a commitment to the long-term success of both the client and the individuals recruited.

In summary, you will be involved in:

• Developing a detailed understanding of specific recruitment assignments.
• Proactively headhunting potential individuals with the most relevant career experience to support the growth of our client’s businesses.
• Qualifying potential candidates for our client’s businesses.
• Developing highly accurate shortlists for each requirement, including developing all the relevant documentation following interviews.
• Managing the relationship with the clients through the delivery of the project, ensuring all communication is clear and accurate.

Essential Requirements

• At least five years’ experience within a recruitment environment
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build relationships quickly
• A genuine interest in business and technology
• Confidence speaking to people on the phone
• The ability to analyse information quickly and make sound judgements
• Excellent team working skills
• Driven and self-motivated
• Desire to work in a fast paced, challenging environment
• Ability to work quickly and effectively
• Good time management skills

Personal and Career Development

As outlined, we invest heavily in development, meaning that throughout your career at CRSI will be focused on developing your knowledge and understanding of the sectors we work in and our methodologies.

This is achieved through a blend of working through our structured training programme, and working as a valuable member of the team, delivering people-based consulting assignments for high-growth investor-backed businesses.

This ensures that in addition to developing your functional skills and developing a track-record for successful delivery, you will increase your knowledge about new business funding and venture capital, high tech industries and advanced analytical skills.
