• Generate new business opportunities through proactive business development activity
• Attend client meetings both virtually and face‑to‑face
• Maintain regular communication with clients and candidates throughout the recruitment process
• Work towards agreed weekly KPIs and monthly revenue targets while driving the continued growth of the division

• Birthday off after one full calendar year of service
• Pension salary sacrifice scheme
• Subsidised gym membership
• 3 team events per year
• Free on‑site parking
