Business Development Manager - Think Recruitment
£35,000 - £45,000 + Commission
The Role
We're hiring a proven salesperson to do one thing:
Win new business.
Think Recruitment has become one of the UK's fastest-growing agencies in the maintenance and public sector, supplying both temporary and permanent trades staff.
We've built a strong reputation and secured relationships with major clients, but there's still huge untapped potential.
Your job is to go out and win it.
This is a pure new business role. No distractions. No account management. No waiting around.
What You'll Be Doing
High-volume outbound calls to key decision-makers
Opening, developing, and closing new client relationships
Generating live vacancies across multiple sectors
Re-engaging lapsed clients and turning them back on
Creating momentum where there currently isn't any
Focusing only on activity that drives revenue
Building your personal brand as a go-to expert in your market
What This Role Is Not
Resourcing
Admin-heavy
Account management in disguise
Sitting back and waiting for leads
If you don't enjoy picking up the phone and making things happen, this isn't for you.
Why This Role Exists
Most recruiters aren't strong at sales, and we're not interested in average.
We need someone fully focused on driving revenue and setting the standard for how business development should be done.
What We're Looking For
Proven sales experience
Background in direct sales / outbound sales environments
Comfortable making high-volume calls daily
A true closer who knows how to win business
Self-managed, accountable, and highly driven
Resilient - you don't fold after rejection
Commercially sharp and fast-moving
Confident using LinkedIn for outreach and lead generation
What Success Looks Like
Consistent new clients coming into the business
A strong pipeline you own and control
Clear revenue impact across the company
Hitting and exceeding targets
Becoming the person the business relies on to get deals done
Package
£35,000 - £45,000 base salary
Uncapped commission structure
If you need hand-holding, this isn't for you.
If you're a self-driven, outbound-focused closer who backs yourself to win, we want to hear from you.
