District Recruiting & Sales Manager - Huntington, WV

Manpower, Huntington, WV, United States


District Recruiting & Sales Manager

Manpower is seeking a hands-on District Manager to lead day-to-day recruiting operations and actively grow our client base. This is a role built for an operations professional who knows how to run a tight team, deliver consistent results, loves working/motivating others, great with people and is genuinely energized by solving problems. This role involves owning two critical functions: ensuring our branch delivers exceptional recruiting fulfillment to existing clients AND professionally pursuing new business development opportunities within your targeted territory. If you come from warehouse, manufacturing, logistics, distribution, healthcare operations, or a service-industry management background — and you have a knack for building relationships and driving revenue — this role was designed for you. This is NOT a remote or hybrid position.
What You'll Do
Run the Branch: Oversee daily branch operations, maintaining efficient workflows, quality standards, and accountability across the team.
Lead a Small Team: Directly manage and develop a team of Recruiters, providing coaching, performance feedback, and hands-on training to sharpen their skills and output.
Drive Client Fulfillment: Oversee the full recruiting cycle — from candidate sourcing and screening to placement and retention — ensuring clients receive the workforce they need, on time and up to standard.
Manage Performance Metrics: Monitor KPIs including fill rates, time-to-fill, retention rates, and client satisfaction scores. Hold yourself and your team accountable to continuous improvement.
Financial Oversight: Manage branch-level forecasting, budgeting, and gross profit performance. Understand your numbers and make data-informed decisions to protect and grow the bottom line.

Improve Retention: Implement onboarding and engagement practices that reduce turnover and increase associate satisfaction and tenure on client assignments.
