Recruitment Business Development Consultant

Become known for the relationships you build, not the number of emails you send.

Salary: Depending on experience.

At Consortia, we’re building a different kind of recruitment business.

Since 2010, we’ve worked with technology businesses across the UK, US and internationally, helping them find exceptional talent in Product, Engineering, Data and UX.

We’re now investing heavily in how recruitment works next, combining specialist market knowledge, genuine relationships and AI technology developed within our own business.

We’re looking for commercially ambitious people who enjoy the challenge of opening doors, creating opportunities and building relationships that last.

This is a sales role for someone who wants to become genuinely knowledgeable and respected within a specialist technology market.

What you’ll do

• Develop relationships with hiring managers, technology leaders and decision-makers across the UK and US.
• Identify opportunities within a defined specialist market and develop a targeted account base.
• Build credibility by understanding your clients’ businesses, their challenges and the talent they need.
• Win new recruitment business through conversations, introductions, referrals and proactive outreach.
• Work closely with our recruitment delivery teams to convert opportunities into successful placements.
• Develop your own professional reputation as someone who understands their market.
• Use our AI-powered research, CRM and business development tools to work more intelligently.

Who we’re looking for

Essential:

• Experience either selling directly to technology leaders or recruiting within technology or marketing.
• Commercial or recruitment sales experience involving the UK or US market.
• A genuine appetite for new business development and winning clients.
• Confidence in picking up the phone and initiating conversations.
• The ambition to become recognised and respected within your specialist field.
• A commitment to continuous learning, from recruitment techniques to technology and the markets you serve.
• Ready and open to working with a diverse global team
• An open mind towards AI, new processes and better ways of working.
• The resilience to handle rejection, ask difficult questions and keep improving.

Highly desirable:

• Experience working across both the UK and US recruitment markets.
• Existing relationships within technology, digital or professional recruitment.
• Experience building a market, territory or specialist client portfolio.

What makes Consortia different?

Specialisation: You won’t be expected to know everything about every market. You’ll have a defined area in which to build genuine expertise.

AI investment: We employ our own AI engineer and develop recruitment technology in-house. You’ll work with tools designed to reduce administration, improve research and support commercial activity.

International opportunity: Our business serves clients across the UK, US, Europe and UAE.

A voice in the business: We value people who question how things are done, contribute ideas and want to improve the way we operate.

Long-term progression: We want people who can build valuable markets, grow relationships and take increasing commercial responsibility.

The person who’ll thrive here

You don’t need to know every technology or have an established network in every sector.

But you do need to be curious, commercially driven and prepared to put the work in.

You should be comfortable admitting what you don’t know, willing to learn from others and confident enough to challenge the status quo.

Most importantly, you should enjoy sales.
