Business Development Manager

Company: Rise10 Recruitment

Job Title: Business Development Manager

Reporting to: Co-Founder

Location: Northampton / home based

Salary: Dependant on experience + bonus

We are looking for a Business Development Manager to join our exciting new recruitment venture based in Northampton. Rise10 Recruitment started in February 2024 and has had an encouraging year one performance in terms of customer attraction and income generation. The company has a “start up” feel but with investment from a large family company, who have been successfully operating for over 50 years.

The role is to focus on generating vacancies and building effective relationships with new clients. Our customer experience is always at the forefront of everything we do, so you must have the same mindset. The Business Development Manager will provide a proactive and consultative approach to clients, whilst always working within the agreed strategy with the Co-Founder/Managing Director.

Moving into year two, Rise10 has clear strategic objectives and the Business Development Manager will play a key role in these being achieved. This role would suit someone currently working in the recruitment industry as a Business Development Manager or someone working in a 360-recruitment consultant role who wants to move away from the candidate side of things to focus only on business development.

Key Responsibilities

• Generating new clients for Rise10 Recruitment through a variety of different business development activities
• Effectively managing client relationships to develop ongoing business
• Providing exceptional customer service to clients ensuring regular contact
• Providing a consultative approach to clients ensuring a deep understanding of their needs and requirements in order to offer tailored recruitment solutions
• Taking ownership of maintaining and managing the company database - ensuring all information is captured timely and accurately
• Using the “needs based tags” to market selected candidate(s) out to our database.
• This role is part of a start-up which means we are looking for a true team player who is up for the challenge and is willing to get stuck in doing whatever it takes to help the business rise to its full potential.

This is a unique and exciting opportunity to be part of something new and is currently in its inception, meaning the above is by no means an exhaustive list of duties. Ultimately, we are looking for someone who is willing to do what it takes to help us build something truly special!

Skills and Experience

• Recruitment industry experience is essential and the selected candidate must have a successful track record of business development within their recruitment career
• Recruitment industry experience in Manufacturing, Automation, Digital, and Engineering would be beneficial, but not essential
• Highly organised with a focus on achieving results and targets
• Outstanding verbal and written communication skills
• Exceptional level of attention to detail and accuracy
• Highly resilient with a growth mindset
• Willingness to get stuck in through great teamwork and collaboration
• Wants to win!

Key Measures and Targets

• Business Development activities via phone, email, face-to-face, networking events, and virtual meetings
• Database development activities through adding relevant businesses and hiring managers
• Self-development to become a market expert in the industry sectors Rise10 Recruitment operates.

Based in Northampton with the ability to work from home, the Business Development Manager will be required on site at least once a week, with occasional additional office days depending on business needs and collaborative events.
