Recruitment Sales Executive

Recruitment Sales Executive (Part-Time)

Fully Remote

£17.50 per hour + 10% commission on new business

10 hours per week initially, with potential to increase to around 15 hours

Freelance | 12-month contract | Initial 4-week paid performance review

E Junior Recruitment is looking for a commercially minded Recruitment Sales Executive to help grow a new managed recruitment service for UK employers.

This is not a traditional sales role where you will be handed a CRM full of warm leads, an existing client list or paid prospecting software. You will be responsible for building your own pipeline from scratch, deciding which businesses to target, finding the right decision-makers and developing an outbound strategy that you believe can generate new clients.

We are deliberately looking for someone who is comfortable taking ownership rather than waiting for daily instructions.

The Service

E Junior Recruitment provides a managed recruitment campaign service for businesses that need help attracting and screening suitable candidates.

Rather than simply supplying CVs, the service is designed to support employers with the recruitment campaign itself, helping them reach suitable applicants and reduce the time involved in managing the early stages of hiring.

Your role is to identify businesses that are likely to benefit from this service and turn them into paying clients.

What you will be responsible for:

  • Researching and identifying suitable UK businesses to target
  • Building your own prospect list using free, publicly available or personally accessible resources
  • Identifying relevant decision-makers
  • Creating and testing your own outbound sales approach
  • Prospecting through appropriate channels such as telephone, email, LinkedIn and professional networking
  • Starting conversations with prospective clients and identifying genuine recruitment needs
  • Explaining the managed recruitment service clearly and commercially
  • Following up opportunities consistently
  • Managing prospects from first contact through to proposal and sale
  • Recording your own activity, pipeline and results
  • Reviewing what is and is not working and adapting your strategy accordingly

IMPORTANT: What is NOT Provided:

There is currently no existing CRM, prospect database, purchased lead list or paid sales intelligence platform provided with this role.

You must therefore be comfortable sourcing your own prospects and building a client base from the beginning using your own knowledge, research methods and free/public resources.

You will of course be given full information about the service you are selling, but you will not be given a step-by-step prospecting strategy. A major part of the role is demonstrating that you can develop and execute one yourself.

Who we are looking for:

We are open to candidates from recruitment sales, business development, new business, account management, partnerships or other B2B sales backgrounds.

Recruitment-sector experience is useful but is not essential. More important is evidence that you can independently create opportunities rather than relying entirely on inbound leads or an established database.

You are likely to suit this role if you:

  • Enjoy building something from scratch
  • Are confident approaching completely cold B2B prospects
  • Can research markets and identify commercial opportunities independently
  • Are organised enough to manage your own pipeline
  • Follow up consistently
  • Can explain a service clearly and confidently
  • Are comfortable being accountable for measurable commercial results
  • Test, learn and change your approach when something is not working
  • Want the freedom to use your own ideas rather than follow a rigid sales script

Hours and Flexibility

The role starts at 10 hours per week and is fully remote.

Hours can be worked flexibly, although some availability during normal UK business hours will be required for prospect calls and meetings.

This makes the opportunity suitable for someone looking for a serious part-time sales role alongside other work or freelance commitments, provided you can give the role the time and consistency it requires.

The Initial 4-Week Review

The first four weeks are fully paid at £17.50 per hour and will be used as an initial performance and commercial viability review.

We will look at the quality and consistency of your activity, the opportunities you create, qualified conversations, meetings, proposals and ultimately new client sales.

This is intended to be an ongoing 12-month freelance opportunity rather than a four-week temporary job. Where the role is producing strong commercial results, hours may increase to around 15 per week after the initial review and there may be scope to continue beyond the initial contract.

Pay

  • £17.50 per hour
  • 10 hours per week initially
  • Potential increase to approximately 15 hours per week
  • 10% commission on new business generated
  • Fully remote and flexible working

Application Process

We are looking for people who genuinely want ownership of new business development.

If you are someone who can take a service, identify the right market for it and build a client base without needing a ready-made list of prospects, we would be very interested to hear from you.
