About the Role

Paragon Talent is a specialist search firm in the flavour, fragrance, and ingredients markets. Since launching at the beginning of the year, it’s been a fast and exciting journey. We’ve built the business around a simple principle: people-first recruitment - for our clients, our candidates, and our team.

Now we’re ready to take the next step on the journey, and we're looking for an ambitious Senior Recruitment professional to join us and help us shape the business as it moves forward.

Why Join Paragon Talent?

Joining at this stage means you won’t just be another consultant; you’ll be part of shaping the future of the business. You’ll have the freedom to grow your desk, influence our culture, and be recognised for your expertise.

Here’s what’s on offer:

  • Real influence – help shape the culture and values of a growing specialist firm
  • Leadership potential – opportunity to build and mentor your own team
  • High-integrity search – work with clients who value long-term partnerships, not quick wins
  • Competitive rewards – salary based on experience + commission paying up to 50%

Who We’re Looking For

  • Experienced recruiter with a proven track record in search or senior-level recruitment
  • Background in the flavour, fragrance, or ingredients markets (animal nutrition, fragrance & personal care, pharmaceutical ingredient experience of particular interest)
  • Strong commercial acumen with the ability to build trusted, long-term client relationships
  • Collaborative mindset – someone who values quality, integrity, and genuine partnerships

Why Paragon Talent?

The name says it all - a paragon is a model of excellence. That’s how we aim to operate, it's how we wish to be known in the market, and we want people who share that mindset. We’re not about volume or corporate theatre. We’re about depth, focus, and outcomes that last.

If that sounds like the kind of firm you want to grow with, we’d love to talk.
