With over 50 years of business success, we have built a reputation as the world leader in specialist recruitment and workforce solutions. But joining Hays isn't just about being part of a global business leader; together with over 12,000 people across 32 countries, you'll be making a difference in the world of work.

Our business scale and our growth mindset allow people the choice of varied career opportunities. So at Hays, the future is what you make it. You get the chance to work with diverse high-calibre customers, to make an extraordinary impact and thrive in an environment that is inclusive.

Your new role:

Working as a Client Engagement Manager you will be focussing on growing client relationships within the technology sector. You will lead by example and become a true expert developing a portfolio of clients including existing, new target organisations & engaging with lapsed clients. You will build partnerships with businesses whether it is providing hiring insights to new start-ups over coffee or delivering presentations to the board of a national company.

You will regularly meet new and existing clients face to face and attend and organise relevant networking and profile building events. Using the suite of cutting-edge internal systems available at Hays, you will also regularly analyse client and sales data to capitalise on opportunities with existing key accounts and to identify potential new business prospects. This role is predominately client facing and will be supported by recruitment partners who are responsible for candidate sourcing, candidate relationships and assisting with job management.

About You:

The right person for this role will ideally already have had a successful career in recruitment, but must have at least one year of sales experience with a demonstrated business development track record. Again ideally having experience within the technology sector already.

We are looking for someone with exceptional business development ability, including sales planning, activity and outcomes. You will possess strong commercial acumen and sales ability, exhibit excellent interpersonal and influencing skills and be committed to team targets and growth.

You will be an experienced consultant (or above) with excellent relationship building skills and possess a track record of both quick wins through tactical sales and larger account wins through a strategic approach. You will be adept with presenting to clients, possess strong negotiation skills and be able to effectively consult with and manage client expectations.

What you will get in return:

• Culture built on rewarding success and the opportunity to influence your earning potential.
• Best technology in the industry and a renowned training programme to support success and drive rapid career progression and ongoing development.
• Flexible hybrid working patterns.
• Opportunity to take your career globally.
• Incentives and rewards to recognise performance both locally, regionally and nationally.
• Broad range of employee wellbeing initiatives and benefits.
• Community of internal support networks.
• Paid volunteering days for all employees under our Working for Your Tomorrow Initiative.

Life at Hays presents the opportunity for growth, varied career paths, exciting challenges and a culture of inclusion that celebrates diversity. As a committed Disability Confident employer, if you're thinking of a new tomorrow for your career, whatever your background, let's work together to create it!

At Hays, we share a passion for creating a culture of opportunities for our people to flourish and succeed, whatever your background. We know that diversity of perspective and an inclusive approach, which encourages those experiences and views to be heard, is great for business and therefore your career.
