Recruitment Client Manager

OneStaff Palmerston North is looking for an experienced and commercially driven Client Solutions Manager to join our team, managing and growing client relationships across the Manawatu region.

We’re a proudly NZ-owned recruitment company with over 25 years in the industry and a strong national presence. We work with clients across a diverse range of industries and sectors, providing temporary, permanent, technical, specialist and contract resourcing solutions.

With continued growth across our region, we’re looking for someone who thrives on building relationships, winning new business and uncovering opportunities. You’ll combine account management with business development, networking, prospecting and cold calling, while working closely with our resourcing team to deliver great outcomes for our clients and candidates.

The role:

• Manage and develop an established portfolio of clients across the Manawatu region
• Drive new business through prospecting, networking, cold calling and industry engagement
• Identify opportunities within existing accounts and grow our presence across the region
• Build relationships with key decision-makers and develop long-term client partnerships
• Partner with clients to understand their workforce needs and deliver effective resourcing solutions
• Resource across a variety of temporary, permanent, technical and specialist roles
• Work closely with our resourcing team to coordinate candidate delivery and meet client requirements
• Maintain high standards of customer service, compliance and candidate care
• Manage the day-to-day health and safety requirements of our temporary workforce, including client site assessments
• Maintain accurate information within our CRM and complete general administration associated with the role

What you'll bring:

• Proven sales, business development and/or account management experience
• A strong commercial mindset with the confidence to identify opportunities, engage decision-makers and close business
• A genuine hunger for growth and motivation to build your own success
• Excellent relationship-building and negotiation skills
• A proactive approach and the drive to generate new opportunities
• A solutions-focused mindset with a commitment to delivering on promises
• The ability to build positive and respectful relationships with people from all walks of life
• Strong written and verbal communication, organisation and time-management skills
• Confidence using Microsoft Office 365 and CRM systems
• A full, clean Class 1 driver's licence and the ability to pass a Ministry of Justice check

Recruitment experience would be an advantage, but it isn’t essential.

What’s more important is a proven sales mindset and genuine hunger for growth. If you come from a strong B2B sales, business development or account management background and thrive on winning business, developing relationships and turning opportunities into results, we want to hear from you.

You’ll be commercially driven, proactive and motivated to grow your own portfolio while contributing to the continued growth of our local and national business.

What's on offer:

• Competitive base salary reflective of your experience
• Achievable bonus structure based on individual results
• Company vehicle
• Company phone and laptop
• Full training and ongoing development
• Birthday leave and long-service benefits
• A supportive and collaborative local and national team
• The autonomy to manage your portfolio, develop new business and own your results

This is primarily a Monday-to-Friday role; however, recruitment can occasionally require flexibility outside standard business hours to meet client and candidate needs. We value work-life balance and take a practical, give-and-take approach when additional hours are required.

If you’re commercially driven, hungry for growth and motivated by winning new business, this is an opportunity to bring your sales experience into a fast-paced, people-focused business where you can take ownership of your results and make a real impact.
