Recruiment Manager

About the Role

At Substance, we partner with recruitment businesses who are serious about growth—and that means hiring the right leaders. Right now, we're helping one of our high-performing agency partners find an experienced, people-first Recruitment Manager to lead, develop, and scale a team of ambitious consultants.

This is more than a billing manager role. It’s a chance to step into a business that’s investing heavily in people, tools, and long-term growth—and to be at the heart of that transformation. You'll be trusted to shape culture, lead from the front, and drive both performance and progression across your team.

If you're a proven recruiter who’s ready to take ownership—not just of numbers, but of people and potential—this is your next move.

What You'll Actually Do

• Lead a team of recruiters. Coach, support, and stretch your consultants—from juniors to experienced billers—to hit their goals and grow their desks.
• Drive performance. You’ll track key metrics, run 1:1s, spot gaps early, and create an environment where results happen consistently.
• Still bill (strategically). You’ll stay close to the market with your own clients and deals—but with a bigger focus on team success.
• Hire and onboard. As the team grows, you’ll play a key role in bringing in and bedding in new talent.
• Shape team culture. You’ll be central to how the team operates—driving energy, collaboration, accountability, and ambition.
• Be a partner to leadership. You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders on growth plans, strategy, and team development.
  

What We Expect

• 6+ years in recruitment, with consistent billings and recent team leadership or mentoring experience
• Proven leadership skills. You’ve supported or managed consultants, and know how to lead with both empathy and accountability
• Commercial mindset. You understand how to drive profitability, grow client accounts, and spot market opportunities
• Excellent communicator. You’re confident giving feedback, running meetings, and setting clear expectations
• Strategic thinking. You’re not just in the weeds—you’re always thinking a few steps ahead
• Team-first mentality. You’re competitive, but not cutthroat. You want to win with your team, not at their expense
• High standards. You lead by example, deliver on your promises, and hold others to the same level

Why This Role?

• Step into a leadership role with impact. You won’t just manage a team—you’ll shape it
• Autonomy to lead your way. No micromanagement. No rigid playbooks. Just trust and accountability
• Clear growth path. Want to move into senior leadership, head of division, or director-level? This is the stepping stone
• Real recognition. Your performance will be seen, appreciated, and properly rewarded—financially and professionally
