Operations Recruitment Associate at Chase & Holland Recruitment
Build Markets. Shape Teams. Drive Operational Excellence. At Chase & Holland, we don't just fill jobs, we build long‑term partnerships that power businesses forward. With over 19 years of specialist recruitment expertise, we support organisations ranging from owner‑managed SMEs to FTSE‑listed businesses, across manufacturing, supply chain, procurement and operational leadership. As we continue to develop our business, we're looking for an ambitious, commercially driven Operations recruiter who is comfortable working as a genuine 360 recruiter to join our high‑performing team. If you're passionate about operations, love building relationships, and thrive in a consultative environment, this is your opportunity to make serious impact.
The Opportunity
You’ll take ownership of the Operations & Manufacturing market, partnering with clients to recruit roles such as:
* Operations Managers
* Factory / Site Managers
* Production Managers
* Continuous Improvement Leads
* Lean / CI Specialists
* Head of Operations
* Supply Chain & Logistics Leader
This is not transactional recruitment, but you must be happy with picking up the phone and building relationships that are consultative and relationship‑led. Also, although you will be able to use the current teams’ relationships, this needs to be someone who can develop and build their own relationships.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop and manage a portfolio of operational and manufacturing clients
* Build long‑term partnerships through consultative engagement
* Identify and approach senior operational talent
* Manage end‑to‑end recruitment campaigns (brief > shortlist > offer > onboarding)
* Winning new business through intelligent, targeted business development
* Provide salary benchmarking and market insight
* Represent Chase & Holland with credibility and professionalism
About You
We’re open to experienced recruits or high‑potential consultants looking to specialise in operations.
You’ll likely have:
* Proven experience in recruitment or B2B sales
* Strong commercial awareness
* Confidence on the phone and in client meetings
* The ability to build trust quickly with senior stakeholders
* Drive, resilience and a genuine desire to build something
* Not be scared of hard work
* Manufacturing or operations sector knowledge is advantageous — but attitude and ambition matter more.
Why Join Chase & Holland?
* 19 years of trusted market presence
* Established client base across multiple sectors
* Collaborative and supportive leadership
* Clear progression framework
* Strong earning potential with uncapped commission
* A reputation built on integrity, partnership and delivery
Package
* Competitive basic salary between £30,000 and £45,000
* Uncapped commission structure
* Performance incentives
* Career progression pathway
* Flexible and hybrid work schedule
* Benefits including private healthcare and life insurance
Ready to build your own market? If you want to be part of a business that values quality over quantity and relationships over transactions, we’d love to hear from you. Apply confidentially today and start building your future with Chase & Holland.
