Our client. a high‑growth recruitment investment business is looking for a Sales Manager to help experienced recruiters take the leap into business ownership. Every year, exceptional recruiters reach the same crossroads: they’re brilliant at what they do, tired of building someone else’s business, and wondering whether they’re brave enough to build their own. This role exists for that moment.

You’ll be the person who finds those individuals, understands what’s holding them back, and helps them see what’s genuinely possible when they have the right backing, platform and support.

This is not a desk‑bound sales job. It’s relationship‑led, human, and rooted in trust.

What You’ll Be Doing

Proactively identifying and engaging experienced recruiters ready—or nearly ready—to set up on their own

Using all channels: social media, phone, email and face‑to‑face outreach

Creating and managing multi‑platform social campaigns (LinkedIn, Instagram and more) that generate warm, qualified leads

Writing sharp, creative content that speaks directly to recruiters weighing up self‑employment

Getting out from behind the screen: networking, events, meetings and industry gatherings

Building authentic, trust‑first relationships rather than running a transactional sales process

Understanding each person’s motivations, fears and ambitions, and tailoring conversations accordingly

Confidently articulating the commercial and lifestyle case for partnership

Guiding prospects through their decision with patience, honesty and genuine belief in their potential

Managing a pipeline from first conversation to signed partnership, without losing the personal touch

Representing the brand as a credible, trusted voice in the recruitment community
What We’re Looking For

Proven success in sales, business development or relationship‑led roles

Recruitment sector experience is a strong advantage

Strong creative writing skills with the ability to produce engaging, credible content

Hands‑on experience building and managing multi‑platform social campaigns

Comfortable generating leads both online and in person

Outstanding emotional intelligence and the ability to read people quickly

Sharp commercial instincts and confidence discussing business ownership, P&Ls and growth

Self‑motivated, resilient and comfortable owning a pipeline independently

Organised, disciplined and able to prioritise a busy, relationship‑driven workload

A confident, articulate communicator—one‑to‑one or presenting to a room

Excellent presentation skills and the gravitas to influence experienced professionals

Natural charisma and a genuine belief in helping people be braver about their careers
Why Join

Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission

The chance to change people’s lives and careers—not just hit a number

A close‑knit, ambitious team building something genuinely different in the recruitment space
