The Role & Requirements

You’ll look after a portfolio of major accounts, made up of new, lapsed and existing clients. Your job is to grow them using a “land and expand” approach. That means getting in front of decision-makers and hiring managers, learning how their businesses are set up, and spotting where else they’re hiring. You’ll turn those leads into roles for the delivery team. The work is built on relationships: client meetings, lunches, dinners, site visits and events. To be considered, you’ll need a proven background in IT recruitment and in-depth knowledge of contract recruitment. You’ll also need a track record of developing accounts and building long-term partnerships, strong commercial awareness, and excellent communication and negotiation skills.
