Recruitment is a tough job – and too often, talented consultants are held back by rigid commission thresholds, endless red tape, and managers who care more about their own targets than their team’s success.
At Headstar, we do things differently. If you’re a recruiter looking for a place where you’ll be rewarded properly, supported to grow, and part of a team that actually has your back – read on.
Could you earn more at Headstar?
We know that commission structures can make or break a recruiter’s experience. That’s why we’ve got one of, if not the, best commission schemes in the recruitment industry:
- No thresholds – you start earning from day one
- No caps – earnings are unlimited
- Up to 40% commission based on your billings
And because we like to keep things real, we’ve built a Commission Calculator so you can check what you would have earned here at Headstar based on your previous billings.
Benefits That Actually Matter
At Headstar, our benefits go further than just a payslip:
- 38 days holiday, including your birthday and a wellbeing day off
- Quarterly team incentives – recent trips have taken us to London and Edinburgh
- Flexible hybrid working – 3 days in the office, 2 days from home if you prefer
- An Employee Wellbeing Programme with quarterly activities and a Donate a Day volunteering scheme

- Regular team socials and free access to our high-profile industry events
- Plus, of course, our industry leading commission scheme as outlined above.
Why Headstar?
We’re not your typical recruitment agency. Headstar was founded back in 1986 by Finance Directors, which means we know the world of finance inside out. That makes it easier for you to win business and build credibility with clients.
We also invest in you. From day one, you’ll have a full induction programme, ongoing training (including our popular Lunch and Learn sessions), and access to our network of Portfolio FDs – people who’ve actually done the roles you’ll be recruiting for.
Culture Comes First
We hire on character, not ego. Our values aren’t just words on a wall – they’re how we work:
- Straight-talking – We say it as it is, are open and honest and don’t use catchphrases and gimmicks.
- Own our own improvement – None of us are perfect, but we work hard to improve ourselves every day.
- Resilient – Work is hard. Life is hard. We bounce back from setbacks with no loss of enthusiasm.
- Teamwork – Above all else, we look out for each other. We’re a team.
Our culture is everything and we protect it at all costs.
