JOB OVERVIEW

Business Development Representative – US Recruitment Services

**Full-Time | Remote | US Hours | Long-Term Opportunity**

We are a growing UK-based recruitment company providing outsourced recruitment services to sales and marketing companies across the United States.

We are looking for an experienced **Business Development Representative** to help us grow our client base by identifying, connecting with, and building relationships with independent sales and marketing office owners across the US.

**Previous experience working within recruitment, staffing, lead generation, or a recruitment agency is highly preferred.**

This is **not a mass cold outreach role** where success means sending hundreds of generic messages every day.

We operate within a relationship-driven industry. We are looking for someone who can understand our target market, identify the right business owners, start genuine conversations, build relationships over time, and ultimately generate qualified meetings for our recruitment services.

The Role

Your primary objective will be to generate new business opportunities and book qualified meetings with owners of independent sales and marketing companies across the United States.

You will:

* Research and identify independent sales and marketing companies across the US
* Identify company owners, directors, and other key decision-makers
* Research prospects before making contact so outreach is personalised and relevant
* Connect with prospects through LinkedIn, email, telephone, social media, and other appropriate channels
* Build genuine relationships with office owners rather than relying solely on high-volume cold outreach
* Understand their current recruitment operation, hiring volume, challenges, and potential recruitment needs
* Maintain consistent follow-up with prospects over time
* Generate interest in our outsourced recruitment services
* Book qualified meetings with business owners who have a genuine potential need for our services
* Build and maintain an organised business development pipeline
* Keep accurate records of conversations, follow-ups, opportunities, and meetings
* Work closely with the company director to develop and improve our business development strategy
* Identify new companies, networks, and potential markets we should be targeting
* Help turn existing relationships and industry connections into new opportunities

This role will be measured primarily on the **quality of relationships and qualified meetings generated**, not simply the number of calls or messages sent.

Additional Business Development

We also operate **MyPathway**, our employee onboarding and retention platform.

As the role develops, you may also assist with generating new business opportunities for MyPathway.

This side of the role may involve more traditional B2B prospecting, including:

* Building targeted prospect lists
* Cold email outreach
* LinkedIn outreach
* Cold calling
* Following up interested prospects
* Booking product demonstrations

Full training on both businesses and our target markets will be provided.

Essential Skills & Experience

We are looking for someone with:

* Excellent spoken and written English
* Strong B2B communication skills
* Previous business development, recruitment, appointment setting, or sales experience
* Confidence speaking directly with business owners and senior decision-makers
* Strong relationship-building skills
* Experience conducting prospect research
* Experience using LinkedIn for business development
* Experience with outbound calling and email outreach
* Experience managing a sales pipeline or CRM
* Strong follow-up skills
* Excellent organisation and attention to detail
* Confidence working independently
* A commercial mindset and ability to recognise genuine business opportunities

Highly Desirable Experience

Preference will be given to candidates who have:

* Previously worked for a recruitment or staffing company
* Sold recruitment, staffing, HR, SaaS, or other B2B services
* Experience generating clients for recruitment agencies
* Experience speaking with US business owners
* Experience working with US companies
* Experience with relationship-based B2B sales
* Experience using HubSpot or similar CRM systems
* Experience with LinkedIn prospecting
* Experience booking qualified sales meetings
* Experience developing prospects over multiple conversations rather than relying only on immediate cold-call conversions

If you have previously helped a recruitment company win new clients, **we especially want to hear from you.**

What We're Looking For

This is not a basic virtual assistant or data-entry position.

We want someone who is commercially minded and genuinely understands **business development**.

The right person will know that not every prospect is ready to buy after the first message.

You should be comfortable starting conversations, remembering details about prospects, following up intelligently, staying in contact, and developing relationships until the right opportunity arises.

We would rather you build **20 valuable relationships with the right office owners than send 1,000 generic messages to the wrong people.**

You should be proactive enough to identify opportunities without waiting for a daily list of instructions.

Equipment & Internet Requirements

You must have:

* A modern laptop or desktop capable of running multiple business systems
* Stable high-speed internet
* A backup internet connection preferred
* A quiet, professional working environment for calls
* A quality headset and microphone
* Reliable power supply / backup preferred

Working Hours

* Full-time remote position
* Monday to Friday
* You must be comfortable working hours that overlap with **US business hours**
* Long-term position for the right person

Performance

The primary goal of this role is straightforward:

**Build relationships with the right US sales and marketing business owners and consistently generate qualified meetings that can become recruitment clients.**

We are interested in quality rather than vanity metrics.

Your performance will be based on factors including:

* Qualified meetings booked
* Quality of prospects generated
* Development of the prospect pipeline
* Follow-up consistency
* Relationships established with target office owners
* Ultimately, new business generated

How to Apply

Please include the following in your application:

1. A brief summary of your previous business development experience.
2. Any experience you have working for a recruitment or staffing company.
3. Any experience you have generating clients for recruitment businesses.
4. Your experience working with US companies or US business owners.
5. The methods you have previously used to book B2B meetings.
6. An example of how you would approach an office owner who may already have an existing recruitment solution.
7. Your expected monthly salary in PHP.
8. A short voice recording introducing yourself and explaining why you believe you would be a good fit for this position.

**Please do not send a generic copy-and-paste application. We are specifically looking for someone who can demonstrate strong communication and relationship-building ability.**
