"Build Your Recruitment Career with Unmatched Freedom and Earnings"

Walker & Sloan Self-Employed Partner Programme

Redefine How You Recruit

At Walker & Sloan, we believe experienced recruiters deserve more: more flexibility, more control, and significantly higher earnings.

Our Self-Employed Partner Programme empowers skilled recruiters across any sector to build a profitable recruitment business under a trusted, specialist brand - with cutting-edge technology, proven support, and an industry-leading commission structure.

If you’re ready to take charge of your career - whether you want to work from home, travel freely, or balance work with family life - this is your chance to recruit on your own terms.

Why Partner with Walker & Sloan

As a Self-Employed Partner, you’ll combine the independence of running your own desk with the strength of our established brand and systems.

With 60% of every fee paid directly to you, you’ll earn far more per placement than in a traditional agency environment.
