About the role

You know how to win work. You know how to deliver it. The question is: who are you building for? For experienced recruiters considering independence, the choice can appear stark. Stay inside a firm and keep building someone else's business or go alone and take responsibility for everything. Zensho offers another route. Our Partners build their own search practices within a global executive search business operating across the UK, US, Japan and Australia. You choose your market, develop your clients and decide how you work. Zensho provides the infrastructure around you: brand, technology, contracts, compliance, billing and marketing support, together with experienced Partners to collaborate and think with. You can: Retain 70–90% of the revenue you generate Deliver permanent, contract, interim and fractional assignments Work within your specialist market or extend your reach internationally Remain independent or build a team around your practice This isn't salaried employment and it doesn't come with a ready-made client list. It's for established recruiters who know how to create commercial value and want greater ownership of what they build. You may be ready to leave a firm. You may already be independent and want more capability around you. You may simply be considering what your next move could look like. You don't need to have made the decision to start the conversation. Message me for a confidential discussion about becoming a Zensho Partner. Be in business for yourself. Never by yourself.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
