Recruitment Business Development Manager in Lichfield

ClickThrough is an AI-powered digital performance partner for ambitious brands. We combine senior specialists across SEO, PPC, UX/CRO, analytics, content and strategy with intelligent automation to deliver faster, smarter, more connected marketing. Instead of siloed agencies, we offer one unified team focused on commercial outcomes, personalised customer journeys and measurable long-term growth.

This is a rare opportunity to join TalentFix at the ground floor - an AI-powered recruitment business launching in the coming weeks that’s set to transform the industry. We’re not just another recruitment company. We’re reinventing how businesses hire. Our mission is simple: we help internal hiring managers hire in days - not weeks or months - at a fraction of the cost, and with superior quality. By combining AI-driven talent matching, video hiring systems, and advanced marketing automation, we’re creating a smarter, faster, and more cost-effective resourcing model.

We’re looking for a commercially driven Recruitment Business Development Manager with a proven track record in recruitment sales and a strong industry network. This is your chance to be in early, influence the direction of the business, and grow with us as we scale.

The Role

This is a blended role combining business development, account management, and hands‑on commercial support. You’ll be responsible for converting first‑stage meetings into long‑term partnerships, generating your own pipeline, and building strong client relationships. Once clients are onboarded, you’ll remain closely involved - acting as a trusted account lead to ensure value is delivered, relationships are nurtured, and opportunities for growth are identified. You’ll manage the full commercial lifecycle - from prospecting to negotiation, onboarding, and ongoing account management - with support from the wider TalentFix delivery and technology stack. TalentFix will be investing heavily in marketing to generate first‑stage meetings and warm opportunities - but you’ll also need the experience and drive to build your own pipeline and activity. You’ll be supported with significant training in marketing systems and marketing automation outreach, equipping you to maximise every opportunity.

• Proven background in recruitment sales, business development, or account management
• Strong recruitment sector network, particularly with hiring managers and decision‑makers

• Ability to generate your own pipeline and activity, alongside marketing support
• Gravitas, credibility, and commercial acumen with senior stakeholders
• Entrepreneurial mindset - motivated by being one of the first hires in a startup
• Excited by AI, video hiring, and the opportunity to reshape the industry
