Recruitment Manager

Description:

The Data Science team is a core part of Harnham’s Data & AI offering and has built a strong reputation for quality delivery, repeat business, and market expertise. With recent team changes and new junior hires joining, we are looking for a manager who can bring structure, energy, and strong people leadership.

You will manage a small but high-performing team, including experienced billers and junior consultants, while continuing to contribute commercially through your own desk. This role offers clear scope to step into a more senior leadership position as the team continues to scale.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading from the front with active personal billings alongside team management responsibilities
• Managing, coaching, and developing a team of consultants, including junior recruiters and experienced billers
• Driving performance through structured 1:1s, clear expectations, and consistent coaching
• Supporting consultants with client strategy, deal management, and complex processes
• Building and expanding client relationships across the Data Science and AI market
• Acting as a senior point of escalation for clients and candidates when required
• Working closely with senior leadership to support team growth, culture, and long-term planning

Who We’re Looking For

• An experienced 360 recruiter with a strong billing track record
• Proven experience managing and developing recruiters, ideally within a technical or specialist market
• Comfortable managing a mix of junior consultants and high performers
• Confident, assertive, and able to challenge constructively when needed
• Commercially minded and able to balance leadership with personal performance
• Data Science or broader data/technical recruitment experience is advantageous, but not essential
