Location: Northampton, Northamptonshire
Company: Stridden Limited
Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent

Application Closing Date: 31st October 2026

Are you a driven salesperson who thrives on winning new business?

Stridden Limited are recruiting for a passionate, ambitious and resilient Recruitment Consultant to join our growing team in Northampton on a permanent basis.

We're looking for someone who genuinely loves sales, enjoys building relationships and has the determination to keep pushing forward, even when things get tough.

You don't need recruitment or construction experience to succeed in this role. What matters most is your sales ability, attitude, work ethic and hunger to succeed. Construction and/or recruitment experience would be a bonus.

Your Own Dedicated Resourcer

Unlike traditional recruitment roles where you're expected to juggle everything, you'll have your own dedicated Resourcer, allowing you to concentrate on winning new business, developing client relationships and generating revenue.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively identifying and winning new business opportunities.
• Cold calling, prospecting and approaching potential clients.
• Building and maintaining strong, long-term client relationships.
• Attending client meetings and site visits.
• Negotiating rates and securing new business agreements.
• Managing and developing your own sales pipeline.
• Working closely with your dedicated Resourcer to fulfil client requirements.
• Growing existing accounts and identifying further opportunities.

Requirements

Essential:

• Proven sales experience, ideally within B2B sales or business development.
• A genuine passion for sales and winning new business.
• A resilient mindset and the determination to overcome setbacks.
• Confidence in cold calling and approaching potential clients.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• A proactive, self-motivated attitude.
• Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle.

Desirable:

• Previous recruitment experience.
• Construction industry knowledge.
• Experience within temporary recruitment or trades and labour.

Why Join Stridden?

We're a growing recruitment business that values honesty, hard work and meaningful relationships.

We offer:

• A permanent position within a growing business.
• Your own dedicated Resourcer so you can focus on sales.
• Competitive basic salary and commission opportunities.
• A supportive, close-knit team.
• The freedom to develop your own client relationships.
• Opportunities for professional growth and progression.

The Person We're Looking For

We're not necessarily looking for someone with the perfect CV.

We're looking for someone with drive, determination and the right attitude.

Someone who doesn't give up after hearing "no". Someone who understands that sales can be challenging but has the resilience to keep going and the ambition to succeed.

If you're passionate about sales and want to play a key role in growing a business, we'd love to hear from you.
