Job Description
Business Development Manager - Think Recruitment

£35,000 - £45,000 + Commission

The Role

We're hiring a proven salesperson to do one thing:

Win new business.

Think Recruitment has become one of the UK's fastest-growing agencies in the maintenance and public sector, supplying both temporary and permanent trades staff.

We've built a strong reputation and secured relationships with major clients, but there's still huge untapped potential.

Your job is to go out and win it.

This is a pure new business role. No distractions. No account management. No waiting around.

What You'll Be Doing
  • High-volume outbound calls to key decision-makers
  • Opening, developing, and closing new client relationships
  • Generating live vacancies across multiple sectors
  • Re-engaging lapsed clients and turning them back on
  • Creating momentum where there currently isn't any
  • Focusing only on activity that drives revenue
  • Building your personal brand as a go-to expert in your market
What This Role Is Not
  • Resourcing
  • Admin-heavy
  • Account management in disguise
  • Sitting back and waiting for leads

If you don't enjoy picking up the phone and making things happen, this isn't for you.

Why This Role Exists

Most recruiters aren't strong at sales, and we're not interested in average.

We need someone fully focused on driving revenue and setting the standard for how business development should be done.

What We're Looking For
  • Proven sales experience
  • Background in direct sales / outbound sales environments
  • Comfortable making high-volume calls daily
  • A true closer who knows how to win business
  • Self-managed, accountable, and highly driven
  • Resilient - you don't fold after rejection
  • Commercially sharp and fast-moving
  • Confident using LinkedIn for outreach and lead generation
What Success Looks Like
  • Consistent new clients coming into the business
  • A strong pipeline you own and control
  • Clear revenue impact across the company
  • Hitting and exceeding targets
  • Becoming the person the business relies on to get deals done
Package
  • £35,000 - £45,000 base salary
  • Uncapped commission structure

If you need hand-holding, this isn't for you.

If you're a self-driven, outbound-focused closer who backs yourself to win, we want to hear from you.
