Job Description

Business Development Executive – Recruitment (South West - Hybrid Working)

My client is a well-established, multi-national recruitment agency with a strong presence across Europe, and they are now looking to expand their sales function in the South West with the addition of a driven Business Development Executive.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated sales professional to join a forward-thinking, people-focused organisation with a strong reputation in the industrial recruitment sector.

The Role
This is a pure business development position focused on winning new clients. You will be responsible for identifying, approaching, and securing new business opportunities across a large and largely untapped territory.

Unlike traditional 360 recruitment roles, you will not be responsible for filling vacancies — instead, you will hand over all secured business to an experienced delivery team, allowing you to focus solely on what you do best: generating new revenue.

Key Responsibilities:

  * Identifying and developing new business opportunities

  * Proactively engaging decision-makers through cold and warm outreach

  * Attending client meetings and presenting recruitment solutions

  * Building and maintaining strong client relationships

  * Managing your pipeline and activity through CRM systems (Salesforce)

  * Networking and developing your professional presence (including LinkedIn)

About the Opportunity

  * Realistic and achievable annual target

  * Large geographical area with significant growth potential

  * Access to a well-established client database (lapsed clients count towards your target)

  * Full support from an experienced recruitment delivery team

  * Industry-leading tools including Salesforce CRM and LinkedIn Sales Navigator

About the Company

  * A modern, progressive organisation that genuinely values its employees

  * Strong focus on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

  * Excellent reputation for employee care, flexibility, and career development

  * Proven business model separating sales and delivery — highly effective and results-driven

You will report into an experienced and supportive manager who is well-respected within the business and committed to helping her team succeed.

What We’re Looking For

  * Strong business development / B2B sales experience (recruitment experience advantageous but not essential)

  * Confident communicator with excellent relationship-building skills

  * Self-motivated, target-driven, and resilient

  * Full UK driving licence

What’s on Offer

  * Competitive basic salary (£35 + depending on experience)

  * Car allowance

  * Uncapped commission structure

  * Hybrid working (3–4 days from home once established)

  * Private healthcare (after qualifying period)

  * Health & wellbeing support

  * Discounted shopping and gym membership

  * Career development programmes and online learning

  * Quarterly team events and annual celebrations

  * Long service awards

This is an excellent opportunity for a sales-focused professional who wants to focus purely on winning business, with full operational support behind them and genuine earning potential.
