🚀 Build the Pipeline. Open the Doors. Win the Business.

Are you commercially driven, confident on the phone and motivated by creating opportunities from scratch?

We're hiring on behalf of a fast-growing international technology recruitment business operating across the UK, Europe and US.

They're looking for a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to join their growing team and help drive new business.

This is not a role where you'll wait for leads to land in your inbox.

You'll be researching companies, identifying decision-makers, making calls, sending targeted outreach, building relationships and turning cold prospects into qualified conversations.

Your goal is simple:

Find the right companies → find the right people → start conversations → qualify → book the meeting.

🎯 The Opportunity

You'll work across the UK, Europe and US, targeting businesses with IT and technology hiring needs.

You'll have clear targets and plenty of autonomy over how you build your pipeline.

You'll be responsible for:

• Researching target companies and decision-makers
• High-volume cold calling and outbound prospecting
• Email and LinkedIn outreach
• Building relationships with senior client contacts
• Qualifying prospects and booking meetings
• Managing and maintaining your sales pipeline
• Creating opportunities for senior stakeholders to convert

You'll also nurture prospects who aren't ready immediately, keeping relationships warm until the timing is right.

🧠 What We're Looking For

You'll ideally have:

• Experience in SDR, BDR, business development or outbound sales
• Experience with cold calling and high-volume prospecting
• A track record of hitting activity or meeting targets
• Strong written and verbal communication
• Confidence speaking with senior decision-makers
• Experience using CRM/sales engagement systems
• Strong organisation and attention to detail
• A proactive, resilient and target-driven mindset
• The ability to work independently
• Comfort working across international time zones

⭐ Recruitment Experience Is A Bonus

You don't need recruitment experience.

We're open to candidates from B2B sales, SaaS, technology, professional services, recruitment, staffing, telecommunications and similar environments.

What matters most is that you know how to:

Prospect. Communicate. Qualify. Follow up. Create opportunities.

🔥 You'll Thrive If You...

• You're not afraid of the phone.
• You enjoy the challenge of cold outreach.
• You don't take rejection personally.
• You like having numbers to chase.
• You're naturally competitive.
• You're persistent without being pushy.
• You take ownership of your pipeline.
• You enjoy working at pace.
• You're commercially curious.
• You want your performance to directly influence your earnings.

💎 Why Join?

• R30,000–R40,000 base salary
• 5% rolling monthly commission on client accounts converted into signed business
• International exposure across the UK, Europe & US
• Fully remote from South Africa
• Join a growing international business
• Work closely with senior commercial stakeholders
• Clear targets and genuine autonomy
• The tools and systems to help you succeed
