Branch Manager

Our client, a well‑established recruitment business with big plans and even bigger ambition, based in Glasgow, has an exciting opportunity for a Branch Manager to take the reins of their Industrial division. You’ll be stepping into a branch that’s already performing well with a solid client base, an amazing reputation across West & Central Scotland, and a team who know exactly what they’re doing.

Now they just need you: someone commercially sharp, people‑obsessed and ready to grow something great without breaking a sweat. And because they’re investing heavily in the future, you’ll also get access to a brand‑new tech platform (goodbye admin slog, hello more time with clients) and a Leadership Development Programme designed to turn strong managers into exceptional ones.

• You’ve been around the block in Industrial recruitment and are looking to step up or have previous branch management experience and are looking for a new challenge.
• You’ve got commercial instincts that could sniff out an opportunity from a mile away.
• You love developing people and building teams that actually enjoy coming to work.
• Clients trust you, candidates like you, and colleagues follow your lead.
• You’re organised, proactive and allergic to chaos.
• You coach, mentor and motivate without turning into a walking TED Talk.
• Bonus points if you’re well‑connected in Industrial, Manufacturing or Logistics.

• Growing the Industrial division like the strategic powerhouse you are.
• Spotting opportunities in existing accounts and turning them into revenue.
• Managing active client accounts and keeping them happy.
• Running quarterly ISO‑aligned service reviews (yes, the grown‑up stuff).
• Staying visible with clients – site visits, check‑ins, problem‑solving, the works.
• Leading, inspiring and developing your team so they can smash their goals.
• Overseeing recruitment campaigns and keeping the candidate pipeline flowing.
• Monitoring KPIs and performance without becoming KPI‑obsessed.
• Championing continuous improvement and best practice.
• Rolling out the new Development Programme like a boss.
• Using the new tech platform to streamline processes and ditch the faff.
• Owning branch profitability, growth and margins.

• Car allowance
• Performance‑related commission
• Early finish Fridays
• Birthday day off
• Paycare scheme
• Increasing annual leave with service
• Leadership Development Programme
• Investment in industry‑leading tech
• Long‑term career development
• A genuinely supportive, collaborative culture

This isn’t a ‘fix it from scratch’ kind of role – it’s a take something good and make it brilliant kind of role. You’ll inherit a strong branch, a loyal client base, and a team who are ready for their next chapter. If you’re ambitious, commercially minded and love building something special, this is your moment.
