About us:

BMS Performance is a market-leading recruitment consultancy specialising in sales and engineering recruitment across a variety of industries. We are continuing to grow our Irish team and are looking for an ambitious Business Development Manager to join us.

We have a unique business model where our Business Development Managers are responsible for winning new business, developing client relationships and generating vacancies for our recruitment consultants to fill.

This is a sales role, and a busy one at that. You will spend the majority of your day on the phone, speaking with decision-makers, identifying recruitment opportunities and building relationships with businesses across Ireland.

The role:

You will be responsible for developing new business and managing existing client relationships within your market.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Making high volumes of outbound calls to prospective clients
• Identifying companies that are recruiting and speaking with relevant decision-makers
• Building relationships with hiring managers and senior stakeholders
• Generating new vacancies for our recruitment consultants
• Managing and developing existing client accounts
• Arranging client meetings and presenting our recruitment services
• Negotiating terms and winning new business
• Working towards structured daily, weekly and monthly sales targets
• Working closely with our recruitment consultants to ensure client requirements are met

This is a fast-paced, target-driven sales role. There will be plenty of rejection, so you need to be resilient, consistent and happy to pick up the phone throughout the day.

About you:

We are open to candidates from a variety of backgrounds. You do not need previous recruitment experience, and you do not necessarily need to have worked in B2B sales.

You could be a graduate looking to start a sales career, or someone currently working in door-to-door sales, car sales, retail sales or another customer-facing sales environment.

What matters most is your attitude, work ethic and willingness to learn.

We are looking for someone who is:

• Ambitious and motivated by earning commission
• Confident speaking with people over the phone
• Resilient and comfortable dealing with rejection
• Happy to make high volumes of outbound calls
• Competitive and motivated by targets
• Willing to take feedback and coaching
• Hard-working, consistent and self-motivated
• Interested in building a long-term career in sales

Your career:

You will receive structured sales training and work closely with an experienced Sales Manager who will support you throughout your development.

Training will cover cold calling, objection handling, negotiation, client meetings and business development.

We invest heavily in our staff and offer regular coaching, ongoing training and opportunities to progress within the business.

The package:

• Base: €35,000 - €45,000 DOE
• Uncapped commission - OTE in year 1 €10,000 - €15,000+
• Hybrid working
• Structured sales training
• Ongoing coaching and development
• Laptop and mobile
• Company incentives
• Career progression opportunities

If you're ambitious, enjoy sales and are prepared to put the work in, this is an excellent opportunity to develop a career in recruitment with a business that invests heavily in its people.
