Job description

Are you a seasoned Business Development Manager with a proven track record of building strong client relationships across EMEA within the recruitment industry?

We’re looking for an experienced recruitment professional ready to take an entrepreneurial leap—someone who wants the freedom of working independently, backed by a business with over 15 years of success.

This is your chance to shape your own future. Instead of growing someone else’s business, you’ll earn equity and a meaningful stake in the success you help create. The more we grow, the more you grow—financially and professionally. It’s an opportunity to build your own wealth, not just contribute to someone else’s.

You’ll have the full support of a reputable, established business. As we enter a dynamic growth phase, we’re expanding into key emerging markets, and we’re looking for someone to lead that charge. You’ll become the face of our brand in these regions, playing a critical role in winning new clients—while our experienced South African team takes care of delivery and execution.

About the Role

This is not a delivery or resourcing role. We’re looking for someone who lives and breathes business development—a natural connector who can identify opportunities, design tailored solutions, and secure long-term client partnerships.

To succeed in this role, you’ll need:

• A strong track record in agency recruitment business development
• A deep understanding of RPO (local and international), retained search, and bespoke talent solutions that drive client ROI
• Experience developing client-specific solutions, rather than selling off-the-shelf services
• A solid network and market insight in one or more of the following regions: Europe, the Middle East, or Africa

Who You Are

• A commercially-minded go-getter with a passion for building meaningful client relationships
• Entrepreneurial, self-driven, and ambitious
• A strategic thinker with sharp business acumen and a hunger to grow something of your own
