Build relationships. Win business. Grow your career and earning potential.

Already working in sales or account management and looking for more ownership? A recruiter ready for a new environment? Or exploring your first commercial career and want structured training, clear progression and the opportunity to earn commission?

One role. Business development, account management and recruitment.

As a Recruitment Consultant, you’ll develop your own specialist market within Technology or Advanced Engineering.

You’ll work with businesses that need expertise and freelance professionals looking for their next assignment. Your job is to understand both, create opportunities and manage the process through to a successful placement.

This is a hands-on sales role where you’ll win new clients, negotiate deals and build relationships that generate repeat business.

You don’t need to arrive as a recruitment expert

We welcome people starting their commercial careers, professionals moving from sales or account management, and recruiters ready for a change.

Your experience might come from business development, customer service, hospitality, retail or another environment where you’ve learned to communicate, take initiative and deliver results.

What matters is that you:

• Enjoy starting conversations and are comfortable picking up the phone to people you haven’t met.
• Are motivated by targets, progression and the opportunity to influence your earnings.
• Handle rejection constructively and keep following up when things take time.Ask good questions, listen carefully and have the confidence to make recommendations.
• Take responsibility for your work, stay organised and put feedback into practice.
• Speak fluent English and either Dutch or German.
• Can commute to and work from our Amsterdam office.

A realistic picture of recruitment

Recruitment combines relationship building with active selling. You’ll spend time prospecting, making calls, following up and handling objections. Not every conversation becomes a client, and not every process ends in a placement.

If you enjoy a commercial challenge and are willing to learn, this is an opportunity to develop valuable skills, build lasting partnerships and see your results reflected in your earnings and progression.
