You will take ownership of the end-to-end sourcing process, utilising platforms such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Reed, and other job boards, alongside creative and innovative sourcing strategies.

Although our office is located just outside of Grimsby, we offer full flexibility and actively promote a healthy work-life balance.

  • Clearly promote the value proposition of selling card payment and merchant acquiring solutions
  • Maintain accurate candidate records and track sourcing activity
  • Collaborate closely with internal sales leadership to understand target profiles and regional hiring needs
  • Continuously explore new sourcing channels and innovative approaches to engage self-employed sales professionals
About You
  • Experience working within the Payments Industry
  • Strong understanding of commission-based or self-employed sales models
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
  • Commercial mindset with the ability to confidently "sell the opportunity" to candidates
  • Highly organised, self-motivated, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
Desirable (Not Essential)
  • Background in sales recruitment, internal talent acquisition, or agency recruitment
  • Proven experience sourcing or recruiting sales professionals, ideally field-based or self-employed
