Recruitment Manager – Industrial, Warehousing & Logistics – HOT DESK
Location: Bristol City Centre
Commission: Uncapped (Current desk is generating £700-£1000 commission pm, this will be inherited)
Working pattern: Monday to Friday
Start: ASAP
MDE Group is looking for an experienced Warehousing, Logistics or Industrial recruitment professional to take ownership of an established temporary recruitment desk in Bristol. Depending on experience, we are open to appointing at Senior Recruitment Consultant, Principal Recruitment Consultant or Recruitment Manager level.
This is not a desk you will be expected to build from scratch. You will inherit existing clients, candidates, live requirements and a structured handover, with the current business already generating commission. Your focus will be on protecting and growing that existing business, winning new clients and developing the Warehousing & Logistics division further.
Initially, you will have sole ownership of the Warehousing & Logistics desk, remaining hands-on across recruitment delivery, client development and personal billing. As you grow the client base, revenue and workload, you will be expected to build a team around the desk and take responsibility for leading and developing the division.
This could suit an experienced Recruitment Manager who is comfortable remaining hands-on and personally billing, or a strong Principal/Senior Consultant looking for the opportunity to take the next step into leadership.
