Recruitment Manager
Bristol
Hybrid Working
Salary: £55000 - £60000 + DOE + Personal Commission + Team Override
Our client is a highly respected, specialist recruitment business with an outstanding reputation for delivering exceptional recruitment solutions across a niche, candidate-short market.
Following continued growth, they are looking to appoint a Recruitment Team Leader to support the development of an established permanent recruitment function.
The Opportunity
This is far more than a traditional management role. You'll inherit an established portfolio of key client accounts, work alongside experienced recruiters and help shape the future of a successful permanent recruitment team. The role combines leadership, client development, and hands-on recruitment, making it ideal for someone who still enjoys billing but also wants to coach, mentor, and develop others. You'll be trusted to take ownership, improve processes, develop consultants, and help clients solve increasingly complex recruitment challenges.
Responsibilities
- Lead, mentor, and develop a team of experienced permanent recruiters.
- Continue to recruit and generate your own revenue.
- Build trusted relationships with existing client accounts.
- Identify opportunities to grow existing partnerships through additional recruitment solutions and services.
- Help develop consultants through coaching, prioritisation, and performance support.
- Work closely with senior leadership to continue evolving the function.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About You
You'll be an experienced 360 recruiter who enjoys the relationship side of recruitment as much as the commercial side. More importantly, you'll have a genuine desire to work within a specialist market where quality, curiosity, and consultative recruitment matter.
It is essential that you have:
- A proven track record within permanent recruitment.
- Experience managing or mentoring recruiters, either formally or informally.
- Strong account management and client development skills.
- A consultative approach, taking time to understand businesses rather than simply matching CVs to vacancies.
- A passion for solving complex recruitment challenges and uncovering talent that others struggle to find.
- The ability to go beyond sourcing CVs by selecting the right person for the role, not just the available candidate.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll enjoy working on hard-to-fill, specialist vacancies, building long-term partnerships with clients, and taking pride in finding the "unfindable."
Experience within Government, Defence, or another specialist recruitment market would be advantageous, although recruiters from other niche, consultative sectors will also be considered.
What's on Offer
- Leadership opportunity within an established specialist recruitment business.
- Existing client portfolio with genuine opportunities for growth.
- Hybrid working.
- Personal commission plus team override.
- Supportive, collaborative leadership.
- Clear opportunity to influence and develop a growing function.
- Mature, relationship-led culture with a strong focus on quality over volume.
If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely influence a team, continue billing, and build long-term client partnerships, we'd love to speak with you.
