Senior Recruiter – Temporary Division - Three Bridges Recruitment
Why this role exists?
Temporary recruitment is growing at Three Bridges, and we’re ready for someone to take real ownership of it.
This is a new position. It’s an opportunity for an experienced temp recruiter to build and grow a desk that’s already moving in the right direction, with the freedom to run it properly and the backing to do it well.
Why Three Bridges?
We’re a specialist accountancy & finance recruitment business built on long-standing relationships, repeat work, and trust.
We’re deliberately not corporate.
No layers of management. No pointless KPIs. No micromanagement.
You’ll work closely with the founders, in a small, supportive team where decisions are made quickly and contribution genuinely matters.
Ownership — without the risk
This role is designed for recruiters who think like future business owners, but don’t want the isolation or financial exposure of going it alone.
You’ll have the autonomy to run your desk like a business:
* Your market
* Your clients
* Your approach
All supported by an established brand, strong systems, shared values, and people who understand the realities of temp recruitment.
If you’ve ever thought “I could do this better myself”, but know now isn’t the time to go solo, this role is built with you in mind.
The role in reality
This isn’t a cold desk. You’ll be responsible for growing an existing temporary recruitment desk across accountancy & finance, including:
* Building and developing temp client relationships
* Winning new business through credibility and delivery
* Attracting and managing a strong pool of immediately available candidates
* Managing pricing, margins, and compliance
* Delivering fast, accurate, high-touch temp solutions
Success here looks like a desk on a clear upward trajectory, clients who come back, and candidates who trust you.
What you’ll bring
* Proven experience in temporary recruitment (sector experience ideal)
* A strong billing background and commercial mindset
* Confidence operating in fast-paced, time-sensitive environments
* Solid knowledge of temp compliance and legislation
* A proactive, organised, and resilient working style
The essentials
* Salary: £30,000–£40,000 basic, uncapped bonus
* Realistic earnings of £60,000+ when performing as expected
* Genuine hybrid working with flexible hours
* As the temp division grows, so can your role, with the potential for high performers to participate in the future ownership of the business
* Modern office in South Queensferry
* Free parking, bus stop outside, train station nearby
* MacBook Air and strong recruitment systems
* Excellent training and long-term progression
Final thought
This is a role for recruiters who want more than commission.
They want autonomy, trust, and a real stake in what they’re building.
