MDE Group is looking for an experienced Warehousing, Logistics or Industrial recruitment professional to take ownership of an established temporary recruitment desk in Bristol. Depending on experience, we are open to appointing at Senior Recruitment Consultant, Principal Recruitment Consultant or Recruitment Manager level.
This is not a desk you will be expected to build from scratch. You will inherit existing clients, candidates, live requirements and a structured handover, with the current business already generating commission. Your focus will be on protecting and growing that existing business, winning new clients and developing the Warehousing & Logistics division further.
Initially, you will have sole ownership of the Warehousing & Logistics desk, remaining hands-on across recruitment delivery, client development and personal billing. As you grow the client base, revenue and workload, you will be expected to build a team around the desk and take responsibility for leading and developing the division.
This could suit an experienced Recruitment Manager who is comfortable remaining hands-on and personally billing, or a strong Principal/Senior Consultant looking for the opportunity to take the next step into leadership.
Benefits include:
- Uncapped commission, with the existing desk currently generating approximately £700-£1,000 per month in commission
- 24 days' annual leave, rising to 28 days with length of service
- Bank holidays plus two Christmas closure days
- One celebration day
- Overseas working opportunities
- Cycle2Work scheme
- Tech Scheme
- Regular company socials and events
What you'll be doing:
- Taking full ownership of an established Warehousing & Logistics temporary recruitment desk
- Managing and developing existing client relationships and live requirements
- Running a genuine 360 recruitment process across business development, account management, sourcing and delivery
- Maintaining a strong and responsive pool of temporary workers
- Managing worker availability, compliance, bookings, timesheets and ongoing communication
- Protecting service levels and revenue across existing accounts
- Identifying opportunities to grow current clients and win new business
- Maintaining strong personal billings and taking commercial responsibility for the desk
- Working closely with the wider MDE team to develop the Warehousing & Logistics offering
What we're looking for:
You will need previous recruitment experience within Warehousing, Logistics or a closely related Industrial temporary market. Ideally, you will be able to demonstrate:
- Experience running a busy, high-volume temporary recruitment desk
- Strong 360 recruitment experience
- Proven business development and new-client wins
- Experience growing and retaining existing accounts
- Consistent personal billing and commercial performance
- Hands-on experience managing temporary workers and day-to-day desk operations
- Confidence taking ownership of an established client base while identifying further growth opportunities
- A desire to remain client-facing, commercially responsible and personally billing
- A proactive and organised approach to running your market
Why Join MDE?

You will have the support and infrastructure of an established recruitment business while retaining meaningful ownership of your market.
