Account Executive UK - Recruitment

Help reshape how technology companies hire. Most recruitment models haven’t evolved in years. Rigid RPO contracts, transactional agencies, little flexibility, and low accountability have created bottlenecks for technology companies scaling across Europe. That’s where Workfully comes in. Backed by a recently closed oversubscribed €4M+ seed round from leading European VCs, Workfully is building a more flexible, transparent and scalable way for companies to hire top talent globally. They’re looking for one of the first Account Executives focused on growing the UK Technology market.

Why this opportunity stands out:

• You’ll join at the right moment: The recruitment market is rebounding, particularly within Technology — one of the fastest-growing hiring sectors across the UK and Europe.
• You’ll be speaking with companies actively looking for alternatives to traditional recruitment models.
• The timing, market conditions and product positioning create a genuine opportunity to build significant pipeline and earnings.
• You’ll sell something companies actually want: You won’t be trying to convince companies to buy outdated agency retainers or inflexible hiring contracts.
• You’ll be introducing a more modern hiring solution to Technology scale-ups, AI infrastructure businesses, Cybersecurity companies, Industrial and deep-tech firms, and Enterprise organisations scaling technical teams.

Real ownership from day one:

• This is a true hunter role with full sales cycle ownership: Prospecting, opening opportunities, running discovery, negotiation, and closing high-value contracts.

Strong earning potential:

• €60–80K base salary
• €120–160K uncapped OTE
• Meaningful early-stage equity
• Deal sizes ranging from €50K to multi-million euro agreements.

Startup exposure without corporate politics:

• You’ll join a growing ~20-person international startup where strong performance gets noticed quickly.
• The environment suits commercially driven people who want visibility, speed, autonomy, career growth, and direct exposure to leadership.

About the role:

You’ll focus on building and closing new business opportunities across the UK Technology market. You’ll target companies typically hiring 20+ roles per quarter from fast-growing scale-ups to enterprise-level organisations.

What success looks like:

• Within your first 12 months, you’ll build a strong outbound pipeline, open and close new strategic accounts, become trusted by senior Talent leaders and founders, and help establish Workfully as a major hiring partner within the UK Technology ecosystem.

There’s a 3-month ramp period focused purely on activity-based KPIs before becoming quota carrying.

What they’re looking for:

• 3–5 years of recruitment sales / agency business development experience
• Full-cycle closing experience
• Experience selling into Technology markets
• Comfortable prospecting and opening doors cold
• Experience negotiating with senior stakeholders and decision makers.

Profiles likely to do well:

• Recruiters from smaller, high-performing specialist agencies
• Commercially sharp hunters who thrive in outbound environments
• People who genuinely enjoy building pipeline and winning business
• Individuals who take ownership and accountability seriously.

Culture fit matters:

This environment will suit someone who is resilient under pressure, thinks commercially, executes consistently, doesn’t need micromanagement, enjoys operating in ambiguity, and wants to grow with an ambitious business.

This is probably not the right fit for someone looking for a highly structured corporate environment, inbound-only sales, pure account management, a management title too early, or heavy SDR support.
