A high‑growth organisation is seeking an experienced Recruitment Manager to lead and transform its end‑to‑end recruitment delivery function. This is a senior, hands‑on leadership role with accountability for high‑volume, fast‑paced recruitment. The role sits within the senior leadership team and plays a critical part in enabling operational performance and workforce mobilisation.
You will take full ownership of recruitment delivery performance, balancing immediate labour demand with proactive workforce planning. Working closely with operational leaders, you will drive improvements in fill rate, speed to mobilisation, redeployment, and overall recruitment effectiveness, while building a resilient, scalable recruitment function.
This role will suit a pragmatic leader who enjoys operating close to the detail, but who can also step back to design structure, process, and capability for the future.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end‑to‑end recruitment delivery across a high‑volume regulated environment.
- Drive measurable improvements in fill rates, mobilisation speed, and redeployment outcomes.
- Introduce proactive future planning to reduce reactive and last‑minute hiring.
- Build and develop recruitment pipelines for known skills shortages.
- Lead, develop, and performance‑manage a recruitment team, embedding clear KPIs and operating rhythms.
- Improve discipline around CRM/ATS usage, data quality and reporting.
- Own and improve recruitment processes from role intake through to mobilisation and onboarding.
- Ensure robust compliance processes are maintained, including right‑to‑work, qualifications, and client‑specific requirements.
About You
You will bring:
- Proven experience leading high‑volume recruitment.
- A strong track record of managing and developing recruitment teams in fast‑moving, demand‑led environments.
- Experience recruiting supervisory and technical roles.
- A data‑led, process‑aware mindset with the confidence to challenge and improve existing ways of working.
- The ability to operate credibly with senior operational stakeholders while remaining hands‑on when required
Working Model
This is an on-site role, with a regular on‑site presence required in London and occasional visits to operational sites.
Why Apply?
This is a rare opportunity to shape and lead a recruitment function that is central to operational delivery, in a business that values pace, accountability, and continuous improvement. You’ll have visibility, influence, and the scope to make a genuine impact.
