The opportunity
You're not building from scratch.
This desk comes to you warm and working: 12 active client accounts and 80 temps currently out on assignment across the North East.
The relationships exist, the revenue is flowing, and the order book is live.
What it needs is someone to take ownership — service it properly, grow it commercially, and make it their own.
If you're a recruitment consultant who's tired of cold calling for scraps, this is the desk you've been waiting for.
- What you'll be doing
- Managing and developing a portfolio of 12 client accounts across the North East — from Sunderland to Newcastle, Washington to Durham
- Looking after 80 temporary workers on assignment: compliance, availability, performance, and retention
- Taking new job requirements and filling them fast, using the talent pool you already have
- Identifying gaps in the existing accounts and maximising the spend you're already entitled to
- Winning further new business within the region — the desk gives you the platform, not the ceiling
- Working closely with payroll, compliance, and back-office teams so temps get paid right and clients get what they ordered
- What you'll need
- Recruitment experience — temp or contract desk preferred, but we'll consider related strong temp volume backgrounds with the right attitude
- A full UK driving licence (you'll be on site with clients and candidates)
- The self-motivation to run a desk like it's your own business
- Confidence on the phone and in front of clients
- Knowledge of the North East market is a real advantage
- What's on offer
- On target earnings of £50,000+
- Company car or car allowance
- A genuinely warm desk — no starting from zero
- Real autonomy to shape the accounts and grow the region
- Support and infrastructure around you so you can focus on the desk, not the admin
The North East is a tight market built on relationships.
The consultant who gets in, delivers, and becomes the person clients call first is the one who cleans up here.
