Job description

Baker Street, London — office based Full time, permanent

£28,000 basic + uncapped commission · OTE £45,000 year one, £70,000 year two, £100,000+ year three

About us

AP Staffing is a specialist SAP contract recruitment business. We place senior SAP consultants into contract roles with major consultancies and end clients across the UK and Europe.

Our clients include international consultancies and manufacturing and technology businesses.

We are a small, high-performing team, and we are growing. This role is one of the first hires into that growth, working directly alongside the founders in a new Baker Street office.

The role

No recruitment experience needed. No SAP knowledge needed. We teach both.

When a client gives us a requirement, you find the people for it. Search our database, get them on the phone, qualify them, and manage them through to interview and placement.

Every candidate call is also a market call. You will be required to gather market intelligence on every conversation — who are they working for, what project, is the client hiring, what are they paying. That intelligence is how we find our next requirement.

Expect high volumes of call time and KPIs to match — on calls, on talk time, and on the market intelligence and leads you bring back.

Progression

You start on resourcing and market mapping. Hit the KPIs consistently and you move onto a sales role — at that point we teach you the sales side: winning clients, taking requirements, running the whole process yourself.

The route is clear and the timing is down to you. Base and commission rise at each stage.

Who we are looking for

• Comfortable on the phone, or willing to get comfortable fast
• Resilient — most calls go nowhere, and you need to keep dialling anyway
• Organised and process oriented
• Curious, and willing to ask the next question
• Motivated by money

What you get:

• Uncapped commission from your first placement - OTE £45,000 year one, £70,000 year two, £100,000+ year three
• 28 days holiday including bank holidays
• Summer Fridays — early finish through the summer
• Lunch clubs and team trips for top performers
