Build a Client Base From Scratch | High Autonomy | Opportunity to Prove Yourself
No inherited client desk. No warm leads. No rigid sales script.
E Junior Recruitment is an independent recruitment business providing hands-on recruitment campaign management to SMEs. We help employers attract, screen and shortlist candidates for roles including administration, customer service, contact centre, finance, HR and digital marketing.
We are looking for a confident and resourceful Sales Executive to generate new clients for the service.
Previous recruitment or B2B sales experience would be useful, but it is not essential. You may already be an experienced salesperson, or you may simply believe you have the communication skills, commercial instinct and determination to succeed.
What matters most is your ability to present a credible plan, work independently and demonstrate your potential through real activity and results.
The Role
You will work directly with the owner to build a new client base from scratch.
Your responsibilities will include:
*Identifying SMEs with current or recurring recruitment needs
*Researching suitable companies and decision-makers
*Contacting business owners, directors, HR professionals and hiring managers
*Generating opportunities through telephone, email, LinkedIn, networking or other suitable methods
*Introducing the recruitment campaign management service
*Understanding recruitment challenges and qualifying genuine opportunities
*Booking discovery meetings and following up professionally
*Supporting opportunities through to an agreed recruitment campaign
*Keeping clear records of activity, conversations and next steps
*Sharing market feedback and ideas to improve the sales approach
Your focus will be on winning new business. The owner will deliver the recruitment campaign once a client has been secured.
Freedom to Develop Your Approach
You will not be required to follow one rigid script or use a single prospecting channel.
You can choose suitable sectors, develop your own outreach strategy, test different messages and use your preferred mix of telephone, email, LinkedIn and networking.
All communication must be honest, professional, legally compliant and appropriate for the E Junior Recruitment brand. Any paid tools or data purchases must be agreed in advance.
Who This Could Suit
This role could suit you if you are:
*Confident approaching businesses without warm leads
*Comfortable speaking with decision-makers
*Naturally persuasive and able to build rapport
*Creative, resilient and commercially aware
*Organised and able to work independently
*Motivated by hourly pay and commission
*Keen to prove your ability rather than rely only on previous job titles
You do not need previous recruitment experience. Transferable experience from customer service, account management, recruitment, hospitality, networking, self-employment or other people-focused work may be relevant.
You must, however, be comfortable starting conversations with businesses you do not already know. This is not an inbound sales role and will not suit someone expecting warm leads, close daily supervision or a script for every conversation.
What Success Looks Like
Performance will be assessed on quality as well as volume, including:
*Suitability of businesses targeted
*Consistency of outbound activity
*Decision-makers reached
*Meaningful conversations generated
*Qualified meetings booked
*Genuine recruitment opportunities created
*New campaigns secured
*Follow-up, organisation and record keeping
*Ability to learn from feedback and objections
Securing a client during the first four weeks would be a strong result. Credible meetings, opportunities and a well-developed pipeline will also be considered.
Pay and Contract
You will receive £15 per hour for 10 hours per week, plus 10% commission on recruitment campaign fees received from clients you secure.
This is a 12-month fixed-term contract with an initial four-week probationary period. Your performance will be assessed individually against clear expectations. There is no predetermined limit on how many successful applicants may continue.
If you demonstrate that you can generate credible opportunities and contribute to regular new business, you will continue for the remainder of the contract. Strong performance may also lead to an increase to approximately 15 hours per week and a possible extension beyond 12 months.
Working Environment
*Fully remote and flexible
*Direct access to the business owner
*High autonomy and no micromanagement
*Freedom to test your own ideas
You will need a reliable computer, telephone and internet connection.
Selection Process
Shortlisted applicants will attend a brief interview. Candidates who progress will present a practical four-week plan covering the businesses they would target, the decision-makers and outreach channels they would use, and how they would generate and measure opportunities.
A strong, realistic strategy could secure you the opportunity even without previous recruitment sales experience.
