The Role:
SP Executive Search is partnering with a respected specialist recruitment organisation to appoint a Recruitment Team Manager. This is a hands-on leadership role, managing a team of 2–3 consultants while driving performance, capability and commercial standards.
You’ll lead from the front — setting expectations, coaching consultants through development plans, and ensuring consistent, high-quality recruitment delivery. This role suits an experienced people manager or a strong Senior/Principal Recruiter who has already demonstrated leadership capability and is ready to formalise it.
You will shape team culture, raise performance, and play a key role in the continued growth of the business.
Key responsibilities include:
* Managing, coaching and developing 2–3 recruitment consultants
* Running KPIs, activity management, performance reviews and development plans
* Supporting consultants with client delivery, pipeline building and commercial prioritisation
* Leading team culture, engagement and day-to-day structure
* Supporting onboarding and development of new hires as the team grows
* Working with senior leadership to identify capability gaps and future talent needs
What You Bring to the Table:
We’re looking for someone who brings credibility, leadership presence and commercial discipline.
You will bring:
* Experience managing consultants or proven leadership influence as a Senior/Principal Recruiter
* A strong track record in performance management, coaching and development
* Clear understanding of recruitment performance drivers and commercial priorities
* Excellent communication skills and the ability to gain immediate respect
* A proactive, solutions-focused approach to team development
Ideal backgrounds include:
* Technical recruitment
* HSE / Health & Safety recruitment
* Engineering
* Construction / Civils
* Environmental recruitment
* Energy / Utilities
* Or other specialist/niche recruitment markets with similar complexity
Candidates from these adjacent sectors typically transition well due to the consultative nature of the work and similar stakeholder environments.
