Day-to-day operating brief

What Recruitment Manager (Operations) work looks like in practice

A Recruitment Manager leads consultants and resourcers, balancing client delivery, candidate quality, revenue and team development. The post reviews pipelines, assigns accounts, approves routine commercial decisions and addresses performance or compliance concerns. Terms should identify desks and sectors, team size, hiring and formal people authority, pricing limits, forecasts, targets, bonus and decisions reserved for directors, HR, finance or compliance. Management pressure must not reward premature clearance, distorted forecasts or unrecorded fee concessions. The manager's forecast review should test start dates, notice periods, client approvals and fee terms rather than reward optimistic stage labels. Separate evidence for pipeline confidence and team coaching makes month-end decisions easier to defend.

  • lead consultants and delivery priorities
  • review vacancies pipelines and forecasts
  • coach performance and recruitment practice
  • approve routine fees and account actions
  • monitor compliance complaints and data quality
  • coordinate hiring capacity and improvement

Records and evidence

  • pipeline forecast and placement evidence
  • fee account and approval

Authority and escalation

  • pricing account and candidate ownership
  • people authority and compliance

Information the employer should prepare
