Business Development Recruitment role - £40-65k - London - Technology

Please note we have already received a high number of applications; however less than 20% have recent relevant experience. If you see yourself as a suitable candidate, please do not be put off by application numbers.

A well-established international recruitment firm is hiring experienced Sales Consultants for their Tech & Change teams in London. With a strong reputation in Insurance, Financial Services, and broader transformation projects across the UK and Europe, they’re looking to grow their client-focused sales function with individuals who love building relationships and winning business.

This is not a people management role—it’s ideal for 180-style sales professionals who thrive on bringing in new clients and delivering consultative recruitment solutions, without being bogged down in candidate delivery (which is handled by a dedicated team).

The Role:

• Join a client-facing team focused on Technology, Data, and Business Change.
• Operate within large-scale transformation programs, particularly within Insurance and Financial Services.
• Build and manage client relationships across key UK and EU markets, including opportunities to specialise in Scandinavia or Danish markets.
• Work closely with a high-performing delivery team to service roles efficiently—freeing you up to do what you do best: sell.
• Contribute to retained and project-based recruitment assignments, including SOW and consultancy solutions.

The Business:

• 60-person international recruitment business with offices in London, Munich, Leicester, Denmark, and the Netherlands.
• Operates a 180 model—dedicated sales and delivery functions.
• Focused on Tech, Data, and Change across the UK and Europe, with a growing presence in Scandinavia.
• Strong leadership team with a clear, long-term vision—backed by co-founders with proven success.
• Sales team performance: £500k+ per head average.

Who They’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in a sales-focused recruitment role (2–3+ years minimum).
• Strong understanding of the tech, data, or change markets—experience in Insurance or Financial Services is a bonus but not essential.
• A natural business developer who can win clients, build accounts, and convert relationships into revenue.
• Confident navigating complex client environments with a consultative approach.
• Self-driven, commercially astute, and looking to grow in a supportive but ambitious culture.

Commission & Culture:

• Commission starts at 25% after hitting an initial 12-month threshold.
• 25% flat comms on full 360 deals.
• Monthly payouts with a clear, achievable structure.
• Mature, flexible environment with a strong focus on relationships over micromanagement.
• Team includes experienced professionals with families—flexibility and output are valued over presenteeism.
• Lunch clubs, incentives, international markets—and a path to earning £100k+ OTE.

If you’re a recruiter who loves winning new clients, wants to work in a mature, high-performing environment, and sees the long game in relationship-based recruitment—this is a unique opportunity to be part of something exciting.
