Recruitment Account Manager (OTE 50K)
Specialist Engineering Recruitment | West Midlands
Highly competitive basic salary • uncapped commission • established key accounts
Own the accounts. Grow the relationships. Get rewarded for both.
Osprey Engineering Solutions is a specialist recruitment consultancy embedded in the UK engineering sector. For close to a decade we’ve partnered with manufacturers, distributors and OEMs across fluid power, flow control, pneumatics, hydraulics, controlled bolting, automation, motion control, power transmission, robotics, compressors and filtration — placing the people who keep British industry moving.
We’re now looking for an experienced Recruitment Account Manager to take ownership of a portfolio of established key accounts and run them as your own. This is a hybrid role — part consultant, part account holder — built for someone who is as commercially sharp on client development as they are on quality of delivery.
What you’ll be doing
-
Owning a portfolio of warm, established key accounts — you’re their first call, their trusted adviser and their escalation point
-
Running a 360 desk across the account base — taking briefs, sourcing talent and managing candidates all the way to offer and aftercare
-
Growing account spend through deeper relationships, cross-selling into sister sites, and identifying roles before they’re advertised
-
Building structured account plans, SLAs and reporting that give clients genuine confidence in our service
-
Working alongside our specialist consultants to deliver at pace and to a high standard
-
Representing Osprey at client sites, industry events and trade shows
What we’re looking for
-
A proven recruiter or account manager — ideally from engineering, technical, industrial or manufacturing recruitment, though strong account managers from adjacent specialist sectors will be considered
-
A track record of growing existing accounts year on year, with the billings to back it up
-
Confident, consultative communicator — equally comfortable with a shop-floor engineer and a managing director
-
Commercially sharp — you understand margins, retention and lifetime value, not just headline fees
-
Organised and accountable — you keep your CRM tidy, your forecasts honest and your clients informed
-
Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to client sites across the UK
-
Based within commutable distance of Oldbury / the West Midlands
What we offer
-
Highly competitive basic salary, benchmarked against your experience and account portfolio
-
Uncapped commission scheme that rewards account growth, not just one-off placements
-
A warm, mature portfolio of engineering clients — no cold starts
-
Autonomy, trust and no micromanagement — we hire adults and treat them that way
-
Clear path to senior and leadership roles for the right person
-
Midlands office, tight-knit team, car allowance incentive, and regular Travel incentives
