Recruitment Manager - Accountancy & Finance | Southampton (Hybrid)

Salary: Up to £42,000 pa + uncapped commission and car allowance

Lead a high‑performing A&F division with the UK's best-known recruitment brand.

Are you an experienced recruiter ready to step into leadership - or a proven Recruitment Manager looking for a bigger platform, warmer clients, and more earning potential?

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Reed is investing heavily across the South Coast, and we're now looking for a commercially driven recruiter to take ownership of our A&F specialism. You'll inherit a warm patch with long‑standing clients and plenty of untapped potential - and once established, you'll have the opportunity to build your own team from the ground up.

Your Role:

Take full ownership of the Accountancy & Finance specialism across the South Coast

Run a successful 360 desk covering perm/contract/temp finance roles

Grow revenue, expand market share, and deepen client relationships

Develop commercial strategy, BD plans, and market penetration

Work closely with leadership to build a team once the desk reaches agreed milestones

Become the go‑to expert for the region, representing Reed at client and networking events

What You'll Bring:

Proven success in 360 recruitment - ideally within Accountancy & Finance or similar professional services

Strong business development and relationship‑building skills

Commercial awareness and the confidence to lead a market

Ambition to grow a division and step into people management in due course

A values‑driven approach aligned with fairness, openness, honesty, ownership, and collaboration

What's in It for You?

Uncapped Bonus Scheme: Earn on both personal billings and team performance.

Clear Career Path: Progress every six months with structured salary increases.

Leadership Development: Ongoing training in strategic planning, commercial acumen, team building, and more.

Industry-Leading Tools: Access the UK's largest candidate database and advanced AI resources.

Enhanced Leave & Sabbaticals: Enjoy sabbaticals every 5 years and 6 extra weeks of paid leave after 10 years.

Luxury Holiday Draws: Annual chance to win a luxury holiday

Inclusive Culture: Be part of a team that values diversity, fairness, and collaboration
