Recruitment Account Manager

Specialist Engineering Recruitment | West Midlands

Highly competitive basic salary (50k OTE) • uncapped commission • established key accounts

Own the accounts. Grow the relationships. Get rewarded for both.

Osprey Engineering Solutions is a specialist recruitment consultancy embedded in the UK engineering sector. For close to a decade we’ve partnered with manufacturers, distributors and OEMs across fluid power, flow control, pneumatics, hydraulics, controlled bolting, automation, motion control, power transmission, robotics, compressors and filtration — placing the people who keep British industry moving.

We’re now looking for an experienced Recruitment Account Manager to take ownership of a portfolio of established key accounts and run them as your own. This is a hybrid role — part consultant, part account holder — built for someone who is as commercially sharp on client development as they are on quality of delivery.

What you’ll be doing

·Owning a portfolio of warm, established key accounts — you’re their first call, their trusted adviser and their escalation point

·Running a 360 desk across the account base — taking briefs, sourcing talent and managing candidates all the way to offer and aftercare

·Growing account spend through deeper relationships, cross-selling into sister sites, and identifying roles before they’re advertised

·Building structured account plans, SLAs and reporting that give clients genuine confidence in our service

·Working alongside our specialist consultants to deliver at pace and to a high standard

·Representing Osprey at client sites, industry events and trade shows

What we’re looking for

·A proven recruiter or account manager — ideally from engineering, technical, industrial or manufacturing recruitment, though strong account managers from adjacent specialist sectors will be considered

·A track record of growing existing accounts year on year, with the billings to back it up

·Confident, consultative communicator — equally comfortable with a shop-floor engineer and a managing director

·Commercially sharp — you understand margins, retention and lifetime value, not just headline fees

·Organised and accountable — you keep your CRM tidy, your forecasts honest and your clients informed

·Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to client sites across the UK

·Based within commutable distance of Oldbury / the West Midlands

What we offer

·Highly competitive basic salary, benchmarked against your experience and account portfolio

·Uncapped commission scheme that rewards account growth, not just one-off placements

·A warm, mature portfolio of engineering clients — no cold starts

·Autonomy, trust and no micromanagement — we hire adults and treat them that way

·Clear path to senior and leadership roles for the right person

·Midlands office, tight-knit team, car allowance incentive, and regular Travel incentives
