Specialising in the blue-collar sector, they have built a reputation for reliability, speed, and deep industry knowledge across construction, manufacturing, and logistics. The Role As a Business Development Manager, you will be the driving force behind the agency’s next phase of growth. This is a high-impact position designed for a hunter who thrives on winning new contracts while strategically nurturing existing partnerships. Whether you are a seasoned Recruitment Consultant looking to move away from the "delivery" side to focus purely on sales, or a professional Business Developer from a service-led background, this role offers the platform to dominate the local market. Key Responsibilities Proactively identify and engage with key decision-makers (Managing Directors, Operations Managers, and HR Leads) within the blue-collar space. Conduct face-to-face meetings and site visits to understand client pain points and present tailored recruitment solutions.

What we're looking for You must demonstrate a history of hitting and exceeding sales targets (either in 360 recruitment or B2B business development). Familiarity with the blue-collar market (Construction, Warehousing, or Manufacturing) is highly advantageous. The "hunter" mentality is essential; you should be comfortable with cold outreach and navigating gatekeepers. Excellent verbal and written skills, with the ability to build rapport with site managers and board-level executives alike.
