About Us We’re a boutique HR consultancy with a big personality and an even bigger impact. At The HR Consultants, we help organisations across the UK create workplaces their people love – with no HR blah blah blah. Our services span the full employee lifecycle: recruitment, HR advice, administration, training, people strategy and everything in between. We’ve been growing fast for the last 6 years, supporting hundreds of businesses and more than 50,000 employees – and we’re not slowing down. That’s where you come in. * We’ve got the marketing campaigns and enquiries. * We’ve got the HR experts. * We need you to bring in the clients and grow our impact even further. The Role Reporting to the MD, you’ll play a pivotal role in scaling our consultancy as we double the number of subscription clients we support by 2026. This is a hands-on sales role where you’ll balance client meetings, proposals, and pipeline management with building lasting relationships. Key responsibilities include: · Owning our revenue target for new business and securing new clients across subscriptions, HR projects, and recruitment services. · Growing existing accounts through client reviews and cross-selling opportunities. · Running sales meetings with SME business owners, uncovering their HR needs, and matching them with the right solutions. · Implementing client nurture sequences to balance relationship care with proactive upselling. · Closing deals (and ringing the sales bell to celebrate wins with the team!). · Keeping our CRM up to date and ensuring pipeline visibility for the leadership team. What We’re Looking For Must-haves: * A solid track record in B2B sales, ideally within services (HR, recruitment, consultancy, training, SaaS or similar). * Experience selling into SME business owners or senior leaders. * Consultative, relationship-led selling style – you know how to listen, ask great questions, and build trust. * Confident running meetings on MS Teams and face-to-face. * Commercially minded, target-driven, and comfortable owning a sales number. Nice-to-haves / Personality fit: * Positive energy and enthusiasm (definitely not a mood-hoover!). * Strong organisational skills to balance multiple prospects, proposals, and follow-ups. * Collaborative and fun to work with – we’re a small team and culture matters. * Hungry for growth and motivated by earning commission. * Comfortable getting to grips with HR services (you don’t need to be an HR expert – but you do need curiosity and commercial understanding). Why You’ll Love Working With Us · Hybrid working – office in Stratford-upon-Avon Mon–Wed, home the other 2 days. · A role where you’ll have genuine ownership of revenue and the chance to make your mark. · Lots of growth and development opportunities (we’d love you to grow your career with us, but we’ll support you wherever life takes you). · Office perks – cake station, bar for end-of-day wind downs, and a brilliant central Stratford location for river walks, shopping or Shakespeare history on your lunchbreak. · A friendly, supportive team who don’t take themselves too seriously. · All the sensible stuff too: parking, holidays, Christmas shutdown, private health, pension. · And most importantly – you’ll be part of a consultancy that makes a real difference. Over the last 6 years, we’ve helped more than 50,000 people have a better experience at work.
