Business Development Pro (B2B Outbound / Staffing & Recruiting)
Worldwide
NO AGENCIES. INDEPENDENT FREELANCERS ONLY. READ THIS FIRST: This role is for someone who has personally sold or booked meetings for staffing, staff augmentation, recruiting, RPO, or B2B technical services. If your background is SaaS, retail, real estate, or generic "business development" with no staffing or services-sales experience, this is not your role and we will not consider your application. You will be asked to name specific accounts and numbers. Dressing up unrelated sales experience as relevant will get you rejected immediately. About the role: We are a remote tech team concierge and staff augmentation firm that connects growth-stage US companies with vetted offshore engineering talent (full-stack developers, cloud architects, data engineers, AI/ML specialists, and more). We are hiring a top-of-funnel Business Development Rep to own outbound pipeline generation. You will find, engage, and qualify decision-makers, then book qualified discovery meetings and hand warm accounts to our senior team. This is NOT a closing role. Your job is to fill the calendar with the right meetings, consistently. Key Responsibilities: - Run multichannel outbound (cold email, LinkedIn, and cold calls) to CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of Talent, and technical founders at US companies in the $5M to $500M revenue range. - Book qualified discovery meetings that meet our defined ICP and qualification criteria. - Build and enrich targeted prospect lists using prospecting databases and intent signals. - Write, personalize, and A/B test outbound sequences that get replies from technical buyers. - Qualify inbound and outbound leads against ICP before handing them off. - Maintain clean CRM and pipeline data with accurate notes on every account. - Hit weekly and monthly targets for qualified meetings booked and pipeline created. - Coordinate smooth handoffs of warm accounts to the senior sales team and founder. - Report weekly on core metrics: reply rate, meeting-booked rate, and show rate. Requirements: - Proven experience selling, or booking meetings for, staffing, staff augmentation, recruiting, RPO, or B2B technical services. This is the primary filter and will be verified in screening. - A documented track record of booking qualified B2B meetings with decision-makers. You must be able to state real numbers. - Native or near-native written and spoken English. - Direct experience selling INTO the US market. - Hands-on with outbound tooling: email sequencing platforms, LinkedIn outreach, CRM, and prospecting databases. - Strong cold-outreach copywriting. You will be tested on this. - Reliable overlap with US Eastern business hours (minimum 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM ET). - Self-managed and disciplined with reporting. No hand-holding. - Willing to complete a short video pre-screening (details in screening questions). Nice to Have: - Familiarity with the offshore or nearshore talent model. - Experience selling to growth-stage or VC-backed technology companies. - Working knowledge of tools like Instantly, Apollo, Aimfox, or Clay. - Enough understanding of engineering roles and tech stacks to speak credibly to technical buyers.
