Internal Recruitment Manager
Internal Recruitment Manager
Location: Carlisle, office-based
Salary: £55,000 – £60,000 OTE
Contract: Permanent, Full-time
NXT Recruitment is proud to be supporting a well-established and growing professional services business based in Carlisle, which is looking to appoint an experienced recruitment manager to support its continued expansion.
This is a senior, office-based role where you will lead recruitment activity for self-employed professionals, primarily within the financial services sector. You will work closely with Directors and internal teams to attract high-quality individuals who meet strict professional and regulatory standards, while also helping shape recruitment strategy and processes as the business grows.
The role
You will take ownership of end-to-end recruitment activity, from sourcing and interviewing through to onboarding and ongoing support. While much of the focus will be on recruiting experienced advisers, the role is broader than pure adviser recruitment and requires a strong commercial mindset, excellent relationship management skills, and confidence operating within a regulated environment.
Key responsibilities:
• Manage the recruitment of self-employed professionals, including experienced Financial Advisers
• Proactively source, engage, and interview high-caliber candidates directly
• Work to agreed annual recruitment targets set by the Directors
• Assess candidates against fit and proper requirements, experience, and commercial performance
• Liaise with external recruitment partners and brokers where appropriate
• Support new joiners through onboarding and preparation for compliance and competency processes
• Work closely with internal compliance, training, and operational teams
• Monitor recruitment performance and identify opportunities to improve attraction and hiring processes
• Produce insights and action plans to support continued growth of the business
About you:
• Proven experience in recruitment, ideally within professional services or regulated sectors
• Comfortable recruiting senior or self-employed professionals
• Strong interviewing and assessment skills
• Commercially aware with a focus on quality and long-term performance
• Confident communicating at senior and director levels
• Highly organised and able to manage multiple recruitment campaigns
• Experience of financial services or adviser recruitment is beneficial but not essential
What’s on offer:
• £55,000 – £60,000 OTE
• Office-based role in Carlisle
• Senior position with real influence on business growth
• Close working relationship with Directors and leadership team
• Long-term opportunity within a stable and growing organisation
If you’re an experienced Recruitment Manager looking for a senior, commercially focused role with genuine responsibility and influence, we’d love to hear from you.
