Job description

Do you want to be at the forefront of innovation, directly shaping the teams that are building the next generation of technology? At Generative we don't just fill roles; we fuel the growth of groundbreaking VC-backed AI startups and forward thinking organisation's when it comes to AI. We're a trusted partner for visionary founders and ambitious companies, connecting them with the exceptional engineering talent that will turn their ideas into reality.

We are moving into year 3 in business and have real momentum, our first trainees are coming up to their first year anniversaries and have done extremely well, we are now looking to bring in our next future top billers and leaders.

We split our business development, account management and delivery although due to scarcity of talent an element of everyone's role will be talking to candidates and headhunting. To start with the majority of the role will be candidate focused and then moving towards a more client focused role so that’s winning new business and developing existing accounts.

As such we are looking for people that can demonstrate strong relationship building skills, influencing skills, tenacity and resilience. You must be comfortable with using the phone and in person meetings as there will be an expectation to be on site with customers & candidates and attending industry events and meet ups.

Ideally you will be a graduate with some sales experience, or a clear track record of being successful in a professional sales environment but above all have a growth mindset and the focus to want to build a long term career. Our customers are moving fast and expect us to keep up, as such this is an extremely fast paced role and you will have to get used to juggling lots of processes quickly and working with urgency.

Why us? The best of both worlds of a larger business and a start up, you get to work with an experienced team that have built, sold and run large recruitment businesses (check us out on Linkedin) but join at an early stage where we are still a small team and working extremely close together. All the benefits of learning from that experience combined with the career opportunity that can only come with being part of an ambitious team building from zero.

We work from our central Guildford office, just a 5 minute walk from the station so easy to reach by public transport or car. We expect people to be in the office at least 3 days a week (definitely Monday & Friday), although during probation you will be in 5 days a week for training and most importantly to learn directly from the team and to give you the best opportunity to be successful.

We offer 28 days holiday and commission of up to 30% of everything you bill personally. Plus an LTIP scheme open to everyone to benefit from the future success of the business.
