Tipped is looking for ambitious people in and around the Medway Towns who want to build a serious career in sales, technology and recruitment. You might be:

• Early in your career and looking for your first step up professional opportunity
• Working in sales, telesales, estate agency, car sales, recruitment, fitness or hospitality
• A graduate who doesn't want to join a huge corporate scheme
• Someone without a degree who's always known they're capable of more
• Simply stuck in a job that isn't really going anywhere

We care much more about your attitude, communication skills and ambition than what's currently on your CV.

What is Tipped? We're a technology recruitment company that was built by a former leader at TikTok and other American software companies. We work with fast-growing software and AI businesses in the UK, Europe and United States. We've helped build teams for some exceptional technology companies, from early-stage startups to globally recognised names including SpaceX (Cursor), Optimizely and others. We have an office in Shoreditch Central London, and we're opening in Kent. We're investing heavily in AI and automation so our people spend less time doing repetitive admin and more time doing the things humans are actually great at: Talking. Selling. Building relationships. Interviewing. Negotiating. Thinking.

What will you actually do? This is a genuinely commercial job. You'll learn how to:

• Cold call businesses and open new conversations
• Speak with founders, CEOs and senior sales leaders
• Find and interview high-performing salespeople
• Pitch opportunities and get people excited about them
• Build relationships with prospective customers
• Research fast-growing technology and AI companies
• Attend relevant events and meet people
• Use modern AI tools to research, automate and work significantly faster
• Develop your own professional network
• Eventually win and manage your own customers

You'll be expected to pick up the phone. Some people will say no. Some won't answer. That's sales. If you become good at sales, you'll be able to work in any industry. We'll teach you how to become very good at it.

The training: You'll work closely with Tipped's founder, Ash Takher. Before starting Tipped, Ash built and led technology sales organisations, including senior roles at Optimizely and TikTok/ByteDance. You'll get hands-on coaching in cold calling, sales, negotiation, recruitment, interviewing, technology, AI and how modern startups actually operate. We'll listen to calls together. We'll role-play. We'll analyse what worked and what didn't. And as you improve, you'll get considerably more responsibility. The goal is to develop you into an exceptional commercial operator.

Who are we looking for? You do not need:

• Recruitment experience
• SaaS experience
• A particular degree
• A perfectly polished CV

You probably do need to be:

• Ambitious
• Competitive
• Confident speaking to new people
• Resilient
• Curious
• Coachable
• Comfortable being measured against targets
• Willing to make lots of calls
• Excited by technology and AI
• Someone who takes responsibility rather than waiting to be told everything

This won't suit someone looking for a quiet 9-5 where you complete your tasks and disappear into the background. It could suit someone who wants to become extremely good, extremely quickly.

Where can this go? We're deliberately looking for people with more potential than experience. If you're exceptional, we want your responsibility and earnings to grow with you. You could develop into recruitment, account management, business development, sales or eventually leadership as the company grows. And you'll be joining while we're still small enough for your performance to genuinely matter.
