About Task Talent Recruitment Ltd

Task Talent Recruitment Ltd is a UK recruitment agency (Company No. 15839695) placing permanent, contract and temporary talent across a range of sectors. We're expanding our business development function and looking for self-employed appointment setters and BDRs to help us identify and engage new client companies across the UK.

The Role

This is a remote, self-employed, commission-only role — ideal for an experienced telesales, appointment-setting, or business development professional who wants genuinely uncapped earning potential and full flexibility over how and when they work.

You'll be identifying prospective client companies, making contact by phone, email or LinkedIn, and booking qualified appointments for our team to progress. If you have recruitment sales experience and want to run the whole cycle yourself, there's a route to Set-and-Close status, where you manage the client relationship through to a signed placement for a significantly higher commission rate.

What you'll be doing

• Identifying and researching prospective client companies using approved data sources
• Making outbound contact by phone, email and LinkedIn to engage key decision-makers
• Qualifying opportunities and booking appointments for our recruitment team
• (Set-and-Close track) Managing the client relationship through to a closed placement
• Logging all activity accurately in our CRM

What we're looking for

• Proven experience in telesales, appointment setting, business development, or B2B sales — recruitment sector experience is a strong plus
• Confident, professional phone manner and strong written communication
• Self-motivated and comfortable managing your own pipeline and time as a self-employed contractor
• Based in the UK, with a good understanding of (or willingness to be trained on) UK telemarketing compliance (CTPS, PECR)

What you'll get

• Genuinely uncapped, performance-based commission — no ceiling on what you can earn
• Full flexibility: work remotely, set your own hours, use your own methods
• Warm onboarding: a full compliance and CRM briefing before you make your first call
• CTPS-checked lead data provided, with the option to source your own using our approved tools
• A clear, written contractor agreement covering commission structure, payment terms, and your rights from day one

Compensation — On-Target Earnings (OTE)

This is a self-employed, commission-only role, so earnings are performance-based rather than a fixed salary. To give you a realistic sense of what's achievable:

Monthly Volume (illustrative)

Monthly OTE

Appointment Setting only (30%)

1 placement/month, at National Living Wage full-time salary (£26,436.80/yr) on our lowest 12% fee band

Set-and-Close (50%)

Same placement (1/month, National Living Wage salary, 12% band)

Figures above are calculated on our lowest fee band and a single placement per month — a genuinely realistic starting expectation, not a best-case scenario. They are illustrative, not guaranteed earnings. Commission is uncapped: placing higher-salaried roles, multiple placements in a month, or working towards Set-and-Close status all increase what's achievable — we're happy to talk through realistic upside at interview.
