Job description

London HQ | Hybrid (Moorgate) As Signify Technology enters its tenth year, we are continuing to invest in the development of our US client partnerships from our London headquarters.

This role exists as a result of sustained growth across our US client base and the need to continue developing meaningful, consultative partnerships with organisations who require more than transactional recruitment support.

As a Business Development Consultant aligned to our US market, you will focus on establishing and developing strategic hiring relationships with technology businesses. Working closely with our delivery teams, you will support clients across a range of hiring models, ensuring that we are positioned as a long-term partner rather than a short-term supplier.

Why Signify?

Signify has grown consistently in revenue year-on-year since opening and now operates as a predominantly contract-focused consultancy business, with the majority of our work centred around long-term contract and project delivery.

Our consultants are not restricted to selling a single hiring model. Instead, they are supported to operate as hiring partners across both contract and permanent hiring, as well as embedded and project-based solutions. This enables broader client partnerships and access to more stable revenue streams than reliance on individual placements alone.

We operate a no-threshold commission structure designed to reward consistent performance across a quarterly period, with consultants able to earn up to 40% commission and no cap on earnings.

We take an active approach to ensuring our workplace is inclusive, respectful and representative of the communities we partner with. We do not tolerate exclusionary or discriminatory behaviour in any form and expect all employees to contribute to maintaining a collaborative and inclusive working environment.
