We’re a growing boutique technology recruitment agency looking for a driven Business Development Executive / New Business Consultant to help us build and expand our client base across the UK and US.
This is a 100% new-business-focused role. You’ll be responsible for identifying target companies, getting through to senior decision-makers, creating conversations and turning cold prospects into genuine recruitment opportunities.
The Role

Maintain accurate CRM records and a clear, commercially focused pipeline
Work closely with our recruitment team to qualify opportunities and ensure a strong handover
Own your activity, targets and territory with a high degree of autonomy
What We're Looking For
You don't necessarily need recruitment experience. We care more about your ability to win conversations and create opportunities.
You'll ideally have
- 2+ years' experience in B2B sales, business development, SDR/BDR or new business within the technology sector, ideally in a small/start up environment.
- A proven track record of cold outbound prospecting
- Confidence speaking to senior decision-makers
- A genuine appetite for picking up the phone rather than relying solely on email
- Experience selling into the UK and/or US/Europe markets
- Strong commercial instincts and the ability to qualify genuine opportunities
- Excellent organisation and CRM discipline
- The self-motivation to manage your own day, targets and pipeline
- A resilient, persistent and competitive mindset
Why Join Us?
This is an opportunity to join a small, ambitious recruitment business where your contribution will genuinely matter.
