The Opportunity

We’re looking for an experienced Business Consultant to grow our local client base by building relationships face-to-face and delivering recruitment solutions that genuinely help businesses hire better. This is a hands-on, consultative role where you’ll generate your own pipeline, win new clients, and onboard them successfully—owning the full front-end sales journey.

If you thrive on speaking to decision-makers, getting out in the field, and turning conversations into long-term partnerships, this role is built for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

Prospecting and pipeline building: Identify, approach and develop new local business opportunities.

Outbound activity: Confidently contact prospects via phone, email, and face-to-face meetings.

Appointment setting & client meetings: Arrange and attend F2F meetings to understand hiring needs and present tailored recruitment services.

Consultative selling: Diagnose challenges, advise on solutions, and build trust with key stakeholders.

Client onboarding: Bring new clients on board smoothly—setting expectations, agreeing terms, and ensuring a strong start.

CRM discipline: Keep accurate records of activity, pipeline, and outcomes using a CRM system.

What We’re Looking For

Minimum 5 years’ experience in a similar role (e.g., B2B sales, recruitment sales, business development, account acquisition).

Proven ability to win new business and build a pipeline from scratch.

Confident communicator—comfortable making high-volume calls and handling objections professionally.

Strong written communication for email outreach and follow-ups.

Solid working knowledge of CRM systems and sales process management.

A clear understanding of a consultative sales approach—you ask the right questions, listen well, and tailor solutions.

What You’ll Get

Competitive base salary: £29k–£35k DOE

Uncapped commission + personal and business performance bonuses

OTE £45k–£55k+ with strong earning potential for high performers

28 days holiday + option to buy more

A role with autonomy, responsibility, and clear impact—where performance is recognised and rewarded
