About Ciara
Ciara joined the Founding Team at GS2 in 2023 after nearly four years in a Delivery Consultant role in central London.
Ciara comes with great experience and is able to apply this in order to help find and support the best purpose driven recruiters to join and succeed within GS2, along with supporting clients within our interim and contract practice.
When Ciara was younger she loved tractors (John Deere's specifically) and wanted to marry a farmer, fortunately for her husband, she changed her mind and they now live in Farnborough with their Labrador, Poncho and daughter, who is full of sass!
At school Ciara loved learning French and now speaks the language fluently following living in Toulouse for two years, along with learning Italian at University.
When Ciara’s not out scuba diving or parenting at the weekend she can be found working in her garden.

Senior Recruitment Consultant - US
We are GS2 and we are a global talent solutions firm focusing on leadership and mid management positions within sustainability conscious and positive impact organisations, with a 100% success rate.
This expertise is crucial to society and we feel proud to work with and facilitate the careers of individuals who cut carbon emissions, develop new “green and circular” business models, lobby governments for change and empower organisations to create a future which we can all depend upon.
As a certified B Corp pending organisation, sustainability is linked to our day to day working environment, with triple bottom line targets (people, planet, profit) and 5% of our profits being donated to exceptional causes each year.
The global sustainability transition is only just beginning and we believe the possibilities for GS2 and our staff are endless. Therefore we have ambitious growth plans to grow to 30 staff within 3 years, in 3 office locations - UK, EU and USA, with significantly bigger targets beyond that by 2030! There will be the opportunity (as well as it being encouraged) for staff within our UK locations to expand internationally and be instrumental in the success of our new international offices.
Some may say this is over ambitious, however our growth comes from our mission and genuine desire to deliver for future generations. Any business who shares this mission needs a reputable and trusted talent partner who can deliver for them, and despite our recent entrance into the market, we already have globally leading FTSE listed organisations who do.
Who are we looking for in this Senior Recruitment Consultant role?
We look for people who care about the legacy they leave from their careers. Whilst you will understand the commercial reality of being within business, we desire individuals who care passionately about the service they deliver, to facilitate high impact change.
This is a relationship focused sales role. You will have a natural flair for sales, marketing and relationship building through your personal brand.
With a proven track record within a mid to senior level specialist recruitment or executive search firm, you will now be ready to take the next step and to deliver the type of service not typically seen within recruitment.
We like people who enjoy being part of a team and who are comfortable engaging with individuals at all levels including c-suite and executives.
You will hold a degree or equivalent working experience, along with a desire to constantly learn, develop and challenge yourself.
A positive, upbeat and resilient mindset are key as is the desire to perform to your best each and every day.
Joining part of our Founding Team at GS2, you will benefit from:
A competitive basic salary of £35,000 - £40,000 depending upon experience, with realistic OTE £70,000 - £110,000.
Your choice of a quarterly or annual performance based bonus scheme
Structured training and development on all elements of recruitment, sustainability and leadership
Flexibility to work from locations within a 4 hour time zone
Christmas closure
Working for a certified B Corp pending, showcasing our commitment to ethical and for good business
The ability to choose which charities / causes we allocate our profits to.
1 week of extra annual leave each year to spend on social impact activities.
Working within a highly motivated, high performing environment, where individuals believe in their cause each and every day.
Along with a number of other flexible non-monetary benefits.
Are you interested?
