Job description

Existing accounts, 30-40 workers per account, uncapped performance-related bonus and the opportunity to build your own team. If you're an experienced Industrial Recruitment Account Manager who enjoys managing sizeable accounts but still wants the freedom to develop them commercially, this could be a really interesting move. You'll be joining an established recruitment business that wants someone to take ownership of this portfolio and make it their own.

Why Join?

As an Industrial Recruitment Account Manager, you'll be taking over established business rather than starting with an empty desk.

• Existing portfolio of around five or six accounts
• Approximately 30-40 workers within each account
• Uncapped performance-related bonus
• Weekly or monthly pay
• Up to 34 days' holiday per year
• Extra paid day off each year to celebrate your work anniversary
• Healthcare scheme
• Your own personal mentor
• In-house training team providing ongoing training throughout your career
• Continuous personal development through training, mentoring and coaching
• Opportunity to build a team of three or four as the function develops
• Regular company events
• Free on-site parking

The Role

As an Industrial Recruitment Account Manager, you'll:

• Take responsibility for a portfolio of around five or six existing accounts
• Manage approximately 30-40 workers within each account
• Work across a mixture of Industrial, Driving, Engineering and Healthcare accounts
• Manage accounts across different geographical locations using established digital processes
• Make sure each account is run efficiently and compliantly
• Build strong relationships with existing clients
• Develop the accounts and identify opportunities for commercially viable growth
• Take ownership of the day-to-day recruitment and account-management activity

About You

To succeed as an Industrial Recruitment Account Manager, you'll probably be someone who:

• Has strong recruitment agency experience
• Has previously managed sizeable client accounts
• Is comfortable looking after multiple accounts and a substantial temporary workforce
• Understands high-volume recruitment, ideally within Industrial, Driving or similar sectors
• Is commercially aware and confident developing existing business
• Can build strong relationships without needing to be permanently based on a client site
• Is organised and understands the importance of compliance
• Has plenty of energy and personality and enjoys dealing with people
• Wants ownership of something they can develop rather than simply inheriting a desk and maintaining the status quo

Interested?

If you enjoy the account-management side of recruitment but still want the commercial challenge of growing business, this gives you both. The accounts are already there, so you're not starting from scratch. The Industrial Recruitment Account Manager opportunity is to take ownership of them, run them properly, grow them at the right margins and, if the model develops as planned, build a team around you.
