We are establishing a growing recruitment business in Harrow and are looking for an ambitious, commercially minded Senior 360 Industrial & Logistics Recruitment Consultant to develop and lead our industrial and logistics recruitment desk.

This is an opportunity for an experienced recruiter who wants more than a standard recruitment role. You will have the autonomy to develop your own client portfolio, win new business, manage recruitment campaigns and build a profitable desk with the potential to grow into a leadership position.

We are particularly interested in candidates with proven experience in industrial, warehouse, fulfilment, manufacturing or logistics recruitment, including temporary staffing.

As this is a developing desk, you must be comfortable generating new business rather than relying solely on existing client accounts or incoming vacancies.

Key responsibilities

Business development and client acquisition:

• Identify, target and win new business from warehouses, distribution centres, fulfilment operators, manufacturers and logistics companies.
• Develop relationships with hiring managers, operations managers, HR teams and procurement contacts.
• Generate new vacancies through proactive sales calls, client meetings, networking and account development.
• Negotiate recruitment terms, service agreements, payment terms and commercial margins.
• Build a sustainable portfolio of repeat clients.

360 recruitment delivery:

• Manage the complete recruitment cycle, from winning vacancies to candidate placement and aftercare.
• Source and recruit warehouse operatives, pickers and packers, forklift truck (FLT) drivers, production operatives, shift leaders and warehouse supervisors.
• Build and maintain an active database of reliable candidates.
• Manage candidate screening, interviews, references, right-to-work checks and relevant compliance documentation.
• Coordinate temporary staffing requirements, shift coverage, timesheets and assignment extensions.

Temporary staffing and account management:

• Develop opportunities for recurring temporary workforce supply.
• Manage client service levels, attendance, replacements and urgent staffing requirements.
• Work closely with payroll and operations to ensure accurate timesheets, invoicing and payment collection.
• Monitor gross profit margins, client payment terms and account profitability.
• Ensure that temporary workers are appropriately vetted and that assignments comply with applicable employment, health and safety and agency regulations.

Desk development and leadership:

• Take ownership of desk performance, revenue generation and profitability.
• Establish repeatable processes for business development, candidate attraction and client management.
• Help develop recruitment procedures and operational standards.
• Progress towards a desk management role and potentially recruit and mentor additional consultants as the business grows.

Essential requirements:

• At least 3 years of UK recruitment experience, preferably in industrial, warehouse, logistics, fulfilment or manufacturing recruitment.
• Demonstrable experience in 360 recruitment, including winning new clients and managing the full recruitment cycle.
• Previous experience supplying temporary workers to commercial or industrial clients.
• A track record of generating recruitment revenue and developing client relationships.
• Strong business development, negotiation and account-management skills.
• Commercial awareness, including understanding gross profit, temporary staffing margins and payment terms.
• Excellent communication, organisation and candidate-management skills.
• A proactive, resilient and entrepreneurial approach.
• The ability to work primarily from our Harrow office.
•
