ABOUT US:

BMS Performance is an established recruitment consultancy specialising in sales and engineering recruitment across Ireland. We work with some of the world's leading manufacturers, engineering companies and technical businesses, helping them recruit high-calibre professionals.

Our Engineering Division recruits across a wide range of sectors, including manufacturing, automation, mechanical and electrical engineering, construction, HVAC and technical services.

We operate a different model to traditional recruitment agencies. We have a dedicated Business Development team responsible for winning new clients and generating vacancies, allowing our Recruitment Consultants to focus on identifying candidates, managing recruitment processes and making placements.

Due to continued growth, we are now looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant or commercially driven sales professional to join our Engineering Division.

THE ROLE:

This is a fast-paced, sales-focused recruitment position where you will take ownership of vacancies generated by our Business Development team and manage the recruitment process from start to finish.

While you won't be responsible for cold calling companies to generate new vacancies, this is still very much a sales role. You will spend a significant amount of your day on the phone, sourcing candidates, headhunting, influencing decisions, negotiating and closing placements.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing engineering vacancies across a range of industries
• Proactively sourcing and headhunting candidates through LinkedIn, job boards and our database
• Making outbound calls to prospective candidates
• Screening and interviewing candidates to assess their suitability
• Building relationships with engineering professionals across the Irish market
• Presenting suitable candidates to clients and managing interview processes
• Advising and influencing both clients and candidates throughout the recruitment process
• Managing offers, negotiations and counteroffers
• Overcoming objections and closing placements
• Working towards structured weekly and monthly sales targets and KPIs
• Working closely with our Business Development team to ensure vacancies are filled efficiently

You will have access to an established client base, a dedicated Business Development team and the recruitment tools required to succeed.

ABOUT YOU:

We are interested in speaking with experienced recruiters who enjoy the sales side of recruitment, as well as commercially strong sales professionals who are interested in moving into the industry.

You do not need previous engineering recruitment experience, but you must have a strong sales mentality and be comfortable working in a target-driven environment.

Ideally, you will have:

• Previous recruitment experience or a proven track record in a sales position
• Strong telephone sales skills and confidence making outbound calls
• Experience working towards targets and KPIs
• The ability to influence, negotiate and overcome objections
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills
• A proactive approach to generating opportunities and managing your workload
• The ability to work at pace and manage multiple recruitment processes
• Resilience, commercial awareness and a genuine drive to succeed

We are particularly interested in people who enjoy the challenge of sales, are motivated by earning commission and are comfortable having commercially focused conversations every day.

THE PACKAGE:

• Base Salary: €50,000 – €60,000 DOE
• OTE: €80,000 – €90,000+
• Uncapped Commission
• Hybrid Working
• Flexible Working Hours
• Pension
• 25 Days Annual Leave
• Ongoing Training & Development
• Career Progression Opportunities

This is an excellent opportunity to join an established Engineering Recruitment Division, with a dedicated team generating vacancies and the opportunity to focus on the candidate side of recruitment while still benefiting from the earning potential of a sales-driven role.
