Recruitment Outreach & Business Development Associate

Posted yesterday

Summary

We are a UK-based recruitment company that supplies specialist contractors and candidates to clients in the UK, Australia, and internationally, across a range of sectors and roles. We have an in-house CV and outreach platform that makes it fast to create polished, anonymized candidate profiles ("spec CVs") and share them as trackable links. We are looking for a proactive recruitment/business development associate to use this platform to open doors with potential clients: finding the right hiring contacts, sending speculative candidate profiles, and following up until a conversation starts. Once a client shows genuine interest, you hand the lead over to the founder to take forward. This is a long-term, fully remote role with flexible hours. Full training on our platform is provided, and you get free access to it. Please read before applying (these are non-negotiable): - Excellent English, written and spoken. You will be communicating directly with me and with me, so your English has to be clear, professional, and easy to understand. This is the single most important requirement. - Strong, proactive communication. You treat this like it is your own business. - No passengers. This role is not for people who want to coast. If you are not genuinely hard-working and reliable, please do not apply. What you'll do - Research and identify companies that are hiring for the roles we are targeting at the time (these change by campaign, from technical and ERP roles to other specialist and contract positions) - Find the right decision-makers and HR / hiring contacts on LinkedIn and other sources - Use our in-house platform to create and send anonymized spec CVs and tracked share links - Run outreach across LinkedIn, email, and WhatsApp, and follow up consistently - Track engagement (link opens, replies) and keep a clean database of contacts and candidates - Pass warm, interested leads to the founder to close What we're looking for - Experience in recruitment, sourcing, lead generation, or B2B outreach - Confident, friendly communicator who builds rapport quickly over message, email, and call - Comfortable with LinkedIn and quick to learn a new web platform - Organized and detail-oriented, since I rely on you to keep track of the things I don't - Persistent and self-managing, able to adapt as the roles and sectors we target change - Based in India Nice to have - Experience sourcing across more than one sector or skill set - An existing LinkedIn network in HR or staffing Engagement - Long-term and ongoing, starting with a 1-month paid trial - Budget around $300/month (open to discussing based on experience) - 100% remote, flexible hours (you manage your own schedule as long as the work gets done) Bonus: if you can record and share a short Loom video (1 to 2 minutes) introducing yourself, that would be a big plus and will move you to the top of our list.
