Branch Manager – Construction Recruitment (New Start-Up Division)

Location: Manchester (Office-Based)
Salary: £40,000 – £60,000 Basic + Uncapped Bonus + Profit Share
OTE: £105,000+ (Top Performers Significantly Higher)

The Opportunity

Our client is launching a new start-up division in Manchester and is seeking an experienced, high-performing recruitment leader to join as a Branch Manager.

This is a genuine leadership role for a proven top biller within the construction recruitment sector, combining hands-on delivery with the opportunity to build and scale a new branch from the ground up.

This is a fully greenfield opportunity – there is no existing team in place. The successful individual will play a key role in recruiting, hiring, and building the entire consultant team, shaping the structure, culture and performance standards from day one.

You will initially operate hands-on while also driving the growth of a high-performing team, expected to develop to 4–5 billing consultants with further expansion as the branch scales.

Reporting directly to senior leadership, you will take full ownership of branch performance, P&L contribution, and overall growth strategy. For the right individual, there is a clear and realistic pathway to Associate Director level.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build, lead and develop a recruitment team from scratch within a new start-up branch

  • Take ownership of recruiting, hiring and onboarding new consultants

  • Maintain and grow your own personal billing within the construction recruitment market

  • Drive day-to-day performance, activity and output across the developing team

  • Establish structure, processes and culture for the new Manchester branch

  • Deliver consistent team revenue growth alongside personal success

  • Conduct regular performance reviews and structured development planning

  • Take accountability for branch performance and P&L

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients and candidates across the construction sector

  • Support the strategic growth and direction of the new office

  • Create and embed a high-performance, start-up culture from day one

Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate will demonstrate:

  • Significant experience within construction recruitment

  • A proven track record as a top biller (essential)

  • Previous recruitment leadership or management experience (preferred)

  • Experience building or scaling teams (highly advantageous)

  • Strong personal billing history with consistent high performance

  • Hands-on experience recruiting and developing consultants

  • Commercial awareness with understanding of P&L responsibility

  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

  • Ambition, resilience, and a track record of delivering results

  • A genuine desire to build a branch from inception

Why Join?

This is a rare opportunity to take full ownership of a brand-new recruitment branch and build it from inception.
