Commercial Partner – Executive Recruitment & HR Advisory (Sales / BD Role) in Newcastle upon Tyne

This is a SALES / BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT role. Not HR. Not internal recruitment.

Fractional | Commission-Based | Remote | Territory Focus (Newcastle, UK)

This is not an "HR" role. We are looking for individuals who can confidently sell, open doors and generate revenue.

You are responsible for:

• Finding companies that need recruitment or HR/People Operations advisory support
• Starting conversations with decision-makers
• Booking and/or closing commercial opportunities
• Generating revenue

This is a pure business development/sales role.

Rosie’s People is an award-winning international consultancy delivering:

• Executive & specialist (hard-to-fill) recruitment
• HR advisory & organisational consulting
• Leadership & training solutions
• People & operational strategy, and more

We work with boards, founders, executive and leadership teams globally.

• Prospecting and identifying companies that need support
• Contacting C-Suite/founders, and senior decision-makers
• Opening commercial conversations
• Introducing Rosie’s People services
• Securing meetings and opportunities
• Supporting conversion into paying clients
• Managing your pipeline independently

Do NOT apply if:

• You have never sold recruitment or consultancy services
• You rely on inbound leads only
• You are not comfortable with cold outreach
• You need training on how to sell
• You are not confident speaking to senior stakeholders

You:

• Have 3+ years selling recruitment, HR consultancy, or B2B services
• Have personally generated revenue or opened clients
• Have an existing network of decision-makers
• Are comfortable with cold outreach and closing
• Are commercially driven and results-focused
• Want flexibility with high earning potential
• Have high attention to detail and can execute

You must already have access to or experience in the selected territory. Applicants should ideally already maintain professional relationships with companies operating within this region.

You must be comfortable using modern tools such as:

• ChatGPT / AI tools
• CRM systems
• LinkedIn and outreach tools

If you are not AI-savvy or do not actively use modern tools to improve efficiency, this role is not suitable.

This opportunity is structured as a flexible, outcome-based commercial engagement. Successful partners may undertake this role alongside their existing roles or consulting work. As commercial activity grows and agreed thresholds are achieved, there may be opportunities to expand the engagement structure over time.

Before we review your CV, you MUST answer the following: If you do not answer ALL questions, your application will be rejected.

1. SALES EXPERIENCE (MANDATORY) Have you personally sold recruitment, HR consultancy, or B2B services? If YES: What did you sell? What deals did you close? What was your role in closing them?
2. CLIENT OWNERSHIP Have you personally brought in new clients or revenue? Give 1–2 examples.
3. NETWORK Do you currently have access to decision-makers (CEOs, founders, HR leaders)? Briefly describe.
4. OUTREACH Are you comfortable cold messaging, calling, and pitching senior stakeholders? Yes / No (explain briefly)
5. AI USAGE Which tools (e.g. ChatGPT, CRM, automation tools) do you actively use?

This role is for people who:

• move fast
• take ownership
• generate revenue

If you are not confident in your ability to do that, this will not be the right opportunity.

This opportunity is not a training position. If you are expecting to be trained in how to sell recruitment or HR consultancy services, please do not apply. We are specifically seeking individuals who already understand how these services are positioned and sold to organisations.

Please note that Rosie’s People is a Remote-First, inclusive, and fair-hiring-process organisation. If you require any reasonable adjustments to be made when reviewing your application, please add a "Reasonable Adjustment Request" section to your application cover letter.
