Permanent Recruitment Manager – South Yorkshire
Build & Lead a Perm Division | Equity Opportunity | Succession Plan | Tech-Forward Agency
Are you an experienced recruitment consultant ready to take the next step in your career, or a recruitment manager looking to secure your future with the potential for equity and business ownership?
A highly respected South Yorkshire recruitment agency — known for its dominance in the industrial, manufacturing, and engineering temp markets — is launching a brand-new permanent division in response to strong client demand. This is a rare opportunity to build, lead, and shape a permanent recruitment function from the ground up.
Whether you’re a high-performing consultant craving more responsibility, or a seasoned manager seeking long-term growth and a pathway to equity, this role offers huge career and personal development potential.
The Opportunity for a Permanent Recruitment Manager :
This is a hands-on billing role (initially), but with a clear path to step back from day-to-day delivery as you build and lead a team.
* Lead by example: Continue placing permanent roles while guiding a team of recruiters who want to learn from you.
* Mentor and develop: Share your experience through on-the-job training and coaching — no rigid KPIs, just high standards and clear outcomes.
* Autonomy with support: Work closely with the owner to manage operations, shape the division, and take the lead on strategic decisions.
* Create a best-in-class perm offering: Develop services across multiple sectors, including existing loyal client accounts.
* Drive growth and relationships: Manage key accounts, win new business, and offer value-added, long-term recruitment partnerships.
* Use modern tools: Leverage AI, recruitment tech, and market mapping strategies to stay ahead of the curve.
* Step into the future: This isn’t just a leadership role — it’s a long-term succession plan that includes equity and shares.
About You as a Permanent Recruitment Manager :
* A strong track record in permanent recruitment (any sector).
* Either an experienced billing consultant ready to lead or a recruitment manager with ambitions for equity and ownership.
* Confident with client development, retained assignments, and strategic sourcing (though retained experience isn’t essential).
* Naturally supportive leadership style — focused on empowerment and delivery, not micromanagement.
* Commercially savvy, forward-thinking, and ready to help shape the future of a growing business.
What’s On Offer:
* Equity and shares — a true succession opportunity as the current owner plans to step back in the future.
* A warm desk with live perm opportunities and an established client base.
* Competitive salary and a high-reward commission structure.
* The freedom to build your own team, your way — no corporate red tape.
* Backing to build a modern, tech-led recruitment function.
* A supportive, service-driven culture built on trust, results, and autonomy.
