Descrição da oferta de emprego

Our client is a New Zealand-owned recruitment business, with a strong reputation for delivering tailored contract and temp staffing solutions across a range of industries. They pride themselves on taking a hands-on, relationship-led approach, working closely with clients to understand their workforce needs and delivering quality outcomes, not just quick placements. Their model is built around flexibility, responsiveness, competitive pricing and genuine partnership, allowing them to deliver results, while maintaining a personalised service.

With an established foundation and a growing client base, the business is now ready to accelerate its growth, creating an opportunity for a commercially driven Business Development Manager to take ownership of new client acquisition.

The Opportunity

This is a true hunter role, suited to a commercially driven BDM who thrives on winning new business, knocking on doors, and engaging with new businesses every day. You will target and secure new clients across a broad range of industries including industrial, FMCG, logistics, construction and food manufacturing.

Your focus will be on identifying opportunities, engaging decisionmakers, and positioning tailored recruitment solutions that deliver real commercial value.

You will be supported by a dedicated and capable internal delivery team, allowing you to focus purely on winning and growing new business, not filling roles.

There will be opportunities for your own personal development, with the potential to step into a leadership role as the business scales.

The Role

Leverage your sales expertise to identify, qualify, and convert new business opportunities within the temp and contract recruitment market.

Proactively prospect and generate leads across industrial sectors, FMCG, logistics, construction, food manufacturing and more.

This is a field-based, new business role. You will spend the majority of your time in the market, engaging clients face-to-face.

Drive ‘boots on the ground’ activity including cold calling, site visits, and in-person meetings to win new business.

Build and maintain a strong, active pipeline through networking, outreach, and referrals.

Meet with prospective clients to uncover hiring needs, operational challenges, and workforce gaps.

Present tailored, value-driven recruitment solutions across temp and contract services.

Negotiate commercial terms and secure long‑term recruitment partnerships.

Maintain accurate records of all activity in the CRM.

Work closely with internal delivery teams to ensure successful placement outcomes.

Act as the face of the business, representing the brand with energy, credibility, and professionalism at all times.

This is a highly client-facing role. You will be out in the market, not behind a desk. No desk jockeys please.
