Are you an experienced Recruitment Manager looking for more than just your next management role? With a salary of up to £45k, car allowance, bonus and the potential to progress into a Directorship and eventually run the business, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
You'll be joining an established recruitment business looking for someone with the ambition, commercial ability and leadership skills to help drive its next stage of growth.


Why Join?


As Recruitment Area Manager, you'll benefit from:

  • Salary up to £45k
  • Car allowance
  • Bonus scheme
  • Genuine potential to progress into a Directorship and eventually take responsibility for running the business
  • Hybrid working options
  • Regional responsibility across three established branches
  • Opportunity to shape and grow the Industrial and Engineering temporary recruitment division
  • 25 days holiday, rising to 30 with service, plus bank holidays
  • Regular salary reviews
  • Private GP and healthcare cover
  • Pension scheme
  • Ongoing training and development
  • Regular social events


The Role
As Recruitment Area Manager, you'll initially take responsibility for growing the Industrial and Engineering blue-collar temporary recruitment division across the Midlands.
This is a hands-on commercial leadership role, so you'll need to be just as comfortable winning new business and meeting clients as you are managing and developing your team.
You'll be:

  • Driving growth within the temporary Industrial and Engineering recruitment market
  • Winning new business and developing existing client relationships
  • Leading, coaching and developing recruitment consultants across three branches
  • Attending client meetings and site visits
  • Identifying opportunities to increase revenue and profitability
  • Developing and implementing regional growth plans
  • Monitoring team performance and KPIs
  • Recruiting and developing additional consultants as the business grows
  • Maintaining high standards of service and compliance
  • Playing an increasingly important part in the wider direction and future growth of the business

The longer-term plan is to develop the Recruitment Area Manager into someone who has the potential to step into a Directorship and ultimately take over the day-to-day running of the business in the next few years.
About You
To be successful as a Recruitment Area Manager, you'll ideally be an experienced Recruitment Manager, Branch Manager or Area Manager. You'll need to posess strong commercial and leadership experience.
You'll need:

  • A strong background in temporary recruitment, ideally Industrial, Engineering, Manufacturing or Blue Collar
  • A proven track record of winning and developing business
  • Experience managing, coaching or developing recruitment consultants
  • Strong commercial awareness and an understanding of what makes a recruitment business profitable
  • The confidence to build relationships with clients at all levels
  • A hands-on approach and the ability to lead by example
  • The ambition and ability to take on greater responsibility as the business grows.


Most importantly, you'll be someone who thinks beyond their own desk or branch. You'll enjoy building a business, developing people and making commercial decisions, with the ambition to eventually lead the whole operation.
Interested?
If you're an experienced recruitment professional who feels ready for a bigger challenge, this could be the career move you've been waiting for.
It's not just about managing branches. It's about joining a business where you could have a real say in its future and potentially be running it yourself in a few years' time.
