Appointment Setter

Who We Are

OctogleHire is a global engineering talent marketplace connecting UK companies with world-class developers and engineers. We give businesses access to pre-vetted technical talent through a network of specialist recruiters — faster, smarter, and more cost-effectively than traditional hiring.

We're scaling fast and we need high-performance appointment setters to put qualified meetings on the calendar. You won't be hunting for leads — we provide them. Your job is to turn them into conversations.

The Role

This is a phone-first, results-driven role. You'll be calling UK businesses — speaking directly with CTOs, Heads of Engineering, and senior decision-makers — generating interest in OctogleHire and booking qualified discovery calls for our senior team to close.

Your success is measured by one thing: qualified meetings booked. We handle everything else.

What You'll Be Doing

Outbound Calling

• Execute 100–200 dials per day from warm, pre-qualified lead lists we provide
• Reach decision-makers directly — no prospecting required
• Open conversations using proven scripts and call frameworks (full training provided)

Appointment Setting

• Qualify leads based on hiring intent, urgency, and fit
• Book discovery calls directly into the sales team's calendar
• Ensure every booking is a genuine, qualified opportunity — quality over quantity

CRM & Reporting

• Log all activity accurately and in real time
• Maintain clean lead records and track daily pipeline
• Report call outcomes, conversion rates, and booking stats

Call Approaches You'll Use

• Direct Approach — Clear, confident pitch on why OctogleHire gives companies an edge in engineering hiring
• Candidate-Led Approach — Open with a relevant talent profile that matches their likely hiring needs
• Insight Approach — Share market context on the UK engineering talent shortage to create urgency

Full scripts, objection handling frameworks, and onboarding training provided from day one.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in cold calling or outbound telesales — B2B preferred
• Comfortable with high volume and high rejection — resilience is non-negotiable
• Excellent spoken English — you'll be speaking with senior UK decision-makers
• Organised and accountable — no lead gets dropped, no booking goes unlogged
• Hungry — the earning potential here is real, but only for people who show up and dial

Earning Potential

Base + commission structure with monthly earnings of £2,500–£5,000 based on qualified bookings confirmed by the sales team.

Top performers in month one regularly hit the upper end. This isn't a capped role — output drives income.

Payment is tied to confirmed qualified meetings. We define qualified clearly so there's no ambiguity.

Working Hours

Monday to Friday | 09:00–17:00 UK time | Fully Remote

Why OctogleHire

We're not a call centre. We're building something with genuine momentum in a market — engineering hiring — that is broken and ready to be disrupted. Early setters who perform will have a clear path to senior setter, team lead, and beyond as we scale.

You’ll be trained properly, given quality data, and paid competitively for results. If you can dial, qualify, and book — we want to talk.
