Location: London Borough of Harrow, Forward Drive, Harrow, HA3 8NT (3 days office-based, 2 days working from home)
Salary: Up to £40,000 per annum
Contract: 9-Month Fixed-Term Contract
Hours: 8:30am - 5:00pm, Monday to Friday (30-minute lunch break)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Recruitment Manager to join a high-profile managed service supporting recruitment activity for the London Borough of Harrow.

This role would suit a proactive recruitment professional with strong leadership skills, experience in technical or specialist recruitment, and the ability to build effective relationships with key stakeholders, without the sales element.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing a team of employees.

    • Delegating workload and monitoring overall team performance.

    • Conducting regular one-to-one meetings to support development, engagement, and achievement of KPIs.

    • Creating and updating pay and charge rates within internal systems.

    • Ensuring compliance and onboarding activities are completed efficiently and within agreed timescales.

    • Chasing outstanding compliance and providing regular updates to hiring managers on candidate progress.

    • Building and maintaining strong relationships with senior stakeholders across the London Borough of Harrow.

    • Ensuring daily and weekly are held with key account stakeholders. 

    • Managing temporary worker grievances and resolving escalated issues.

    • Overseeing the performance and engagement of second-tier recruitment suppliers.

    • Supporting the team with sourcing for niche and specialist vacancies when required.

    • Arranging briefing calls with hiring managers and supplier partners.

    • Producing reports and presenting contract performance data to senior management.

    • Managing escalations received through the central contract mailbox.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.

    • Previous experience as Account Management, Team Leader or any managerial roles would be advantageous.

    • The ability to work proactively in a fast-paced environment and respond effectively to business needs.

    • Experience managing compliance processes within a recruitment or managed service environment.

    • Experience within technical, specialist, or public sector recruitment.

    • Confidence in direct sourcing and advanced Boolean searching techniques.

    • A hands-on management style with a passion for developing and supporting teams.

Additional Information

Due to the nature of the role, applicants should ideally live within a reasonable commuting distance of Harrow and be willing to work on-site three days per week to facilitate right-to-work checks, compliance activity, and stakeholder meetings.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced recruitment professional to lead a successful team while managing a key public sector contract and building strong relationships with senior leaders across the council.

What We Offer

  • Excellent training and career development support.

    • Opportunity to gain industry-recognised qualifications (REC).

    • 21 days holiday (rising to 29 days with service) + bank holidays.
