Recruitment Consultant – Business Development Focus

Location: Colchester
Salary: £30,000–£40,000 + uncapped commission
OTE: circa £60,000

This is a growth-focused 360 recruitment role in the construction sector, suited to someone who has done recruitment before and now wants the space to build properly.

The brief is simple: generate new business, win clients and grow revenue. This is not a warm-desk maintenance role. The successful person will be expected to show initiative, open doors and build their own client base, with support around them when needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Generate new business through outbound activity, meetings, calls and networking.
• Build and manage a client portfolio from scratch.
• Run the full 360 recruitment lifecycle.
• Identify commercial opportunities and act on them quickly.
• Work with internal support to fulfil roles and deliver for clients.
• Build a consistent pipeline and revenue stream for the Colchester office.

Candidate Profile

• Previous experience in a 360 recruitment role.
• Likely to suit someone raw, hungry and on the way up rather than a finished article.
• Confident with business development and outbound activity.
• High-agency, self-starting and comfortable working without heavy hand-holding.
• Commercial, resilient and target-driven.
• Wants a role where commission can materially increase earnings.

Why Join

• Clear opportunity to build something and make an impact.
• Strong commission potential.
• Supportive environment without heavy micromanagement.
• Direct contribution to the growth of the Colchester office.
