Ford & Stanley Talent Services Group - A Different Kind of Commercial Career

Based in Pride Park, Derby | Built for People Who Want More From Their Work

If you’re good at building relationships, influencing decisions, and creating commercial value, there’s a strong chance you’d be highly successful in recruitment.

At Ford & Stanley Talent Services, we hire people from outside recruitment who are already performing in commercial roles and give them a platform to apply those skills at a higher level.

Work That Has Real Impact: In many roles, you’re selling a product or managing an account. Here, you’re solving business-critical problems, helping organisations build the teams they need to perform, grow, and succeed.

That means:

  • More meaningful conversations
  • Greater visibility with senior stakeholders
  • Work that directly impacts business outcomes

It’s more than sales it’s commercial problem-solving.

A Career That Builds, Not Resets: You won’t be starting again. If you’re already good at:

  • Building relationships
  • Winning trust
  • Influencing decisions
  • Growing commercial value

…you already have the foundations. We provide:

  • A clear development pathway
  • The tools and knowledge to succeed in a specialist market

You bring the strengths, we help you scale them

Real Career Progression: This is not a static role. We invest in developing people into:

  • Market specialists
  • Trusted advisors to clients
  • Stronger commercial professionals
  • Future leaders within the business

With clear progression and increasing responsibility over time.

You’re building a career with direction, not just hitting targets.

Reward That Reflects Contribution: Your performance is visible and rewarded. Our proposition includes:

  • Competitive earnings with strong upside
  • Recognition for impact, not just activity
  • Autonomy to build your own relationships and market
  • Progression tied to capability and contribution

You’re rewarded for what you build, not just what you do.

A Culture Built on Trust and Performance: We combine high standards with real support. You can expect:

  • Clear expectations and accountability
  • Strong onboarding and development
  • A collaborative, team-focused environment
  • A culture where people are trusted to perform

It’s a place where people do well—and are supported to do so.

Who This Tends to Suit: People currently working in roles such as:

  • Sales, business development, or commercial roles
  • Account management or customer-facing positions
  • Client relationship or stakeholder-focused roles

Across industries like:

  • Automotive, technology, logistics, financial services
  • Manufacturing, engineering, professional services

People who are looking for:

  • More impact in their work
  • Greater ownership and autonomy
  • Stronger long-term career progression
  • A role that better reflects their ability
