Birmingham | 4 days office, 1 day WFH
£29,000 – £31,000 basic + commission (OTE c.£40,000)
If you’re in recruitment and tired of running a full 360 desk, this is worth a look.
You will be joining a growing training and apprenticeships provider in a role focused purely on winning employer relationships and creating opportunities, without the expectation of sourcing candidates from scratch.
What makes this different
You will still be doing the parts of recruitment that matter:
*
Opening conversations with new clients
*
Understanding hiring needs
*
Creating opportunities
*
Managing processes through to placement
But you won’t be:
*
Chasing candidates all day
*
Fighting over ownership of clients
*
Working a split desk where control is limited
This is closer to a 180 business development role, with internal support on the candidate side.
What you will be doing
You will be responsible for building relationships with employers and introducing apprenticeship solutions where they make sense.
You will:
*
Develop new business through calls, meetings and outreach
*
Identify companies open to hiring or developing staff
*
Secure opportunities and manage them through to placement
*
Introduce suitable candidates and coordinate interviews
*
Stay close to both sides to ensure successful outcomes
You will still be working commercially, but with a more focused remit.
The commercial reality
There is no inherited desk. This is a relatively new brand to the business, so there is plenty of potential to making the role your own.
You will build your own pipeline, your own conversations and your own results.
The difference is the product:
*
Apprenticeships are funded, which removes a major barrier in client conversations
*
You are offering a practical solution to hiring and development
*
The business has sector-specific pathways, giving you a clearer angle with employers
Who this suits:
You are likely:
*
1–3 years into recruitment or another outbound sales role
*
Comfortable generating new business
*
Used to working towards targets and KPIs
*
Looking for a role where you can focus more on client development
You don’t need experience in apprenticeships.
Package
*
£29,000 – £31,000 basic salary
*
Commission is uncapped, with OTE typically around £40,000 OTE
*
No cap on commission for overperformance
Why people make this move
This tends to suit recruiters who:
*
Enjoy the client side more than candidate chasing
*
Want a more stable, structured environment
*
Still want to earn commission, but without the same volatility
Working setup
*
4 days office-based
*
1 day remote (Fridays)
*
Mix of calls, Teams meetings and some face-to-face engagement
