• Review workforce data and operational reports to monitor recruitment performance, identify gaps and address emerging issues.
• Maintain effective oversight of compliance, workforce records and recruitment administration.
• Monitor key performance measures, including fulfilment levels, workforce turnover and productivity, taking action where improvements are needed.
• Anticipate potential staffing challenges and put contingency plans in place to minimise disruption to the operation.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, strengthen service delivery and create a positive experience for both the client and temporary workers.

Requirements for the Account Manager

• Previous experience in recruitment account management, onsite recruitment or contract management, with responsibility for maintaining client relationships is essential.
• A strong understanding of temporary workforce recruitment and the challenges of delivering staffing solutions at volume.
• Experience leading, supervising or supporting a recruitment team within a busy operational environment.
• The ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining service standards and meeting workforce demands.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the confidence to work with stakeholders at different levels.
• Good analytical and organisational skills, with the ability to interpret performance data and use it to inform decisions.
• Confidence using recruitment systems, CRM platforms, workforce management tools and reporting systems.
• A proactive approach to problem-solving, with the ability to identify risks and implement practical solutions.
• Experience in manufacturing, food production, logistics or industrial recruitment would be advantageous.

Working Hours

Flexibility is required to support the needs of the operation, with working hours typically falling between 5:30am and 7:00pm. Occasional out-of-hours and weekend support will also be required when necessary.
