London / South East | Hybrid

£26,000–£30,000 Basic + Strong Uncapped Commission, OTE c£50,000 + Rising yr on yr.

Build a Career in Recruitment. Build New Business. Build Your Future.

PRS is continuing to grow its established recruitment business and is looking for a highly proactive, ambitious and commercially driven Telesales & Business Development Executive to join our team.

Established in 1999, PRS has strong foundations within the recruitment sector, working across Facilities Management, Engineering, Technical Services, Data Centres, Construction, Property and the wider Built Environment.

We are looking for someone who wants more than just a telesales job.

This is an opportunity to join a growing recruitment business, develop your commercial skills, build your own client relationships and progress your career within recruitment.

The Opportunity

This is a highly proactive business development role focused on generating new opportunities while also developing and expanding relationships with PRS’s existing clients.

You will be responsible for identifying potential clients, making introductions, understanding their recruitment requirements and converting opportunities into long-term recruitment relationships.

You’ll be expected to pick up the phone, start conversations, build relationships and create
opportunities.

We are looking for someone who enjoys the challenge of winning new business and is equally comfortable developing an existing relationship into something significantly bigger.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Proactively identify and contact new prospective clients.
• Generate new business opportunities through targeted telesales and outbound activity.
• Research companies, decision-makers and recruitment requirements.
• Make high-volume, intelligent outbound calls and develop meaningful conversations.
• Arrange meetings and opportunities for the wider recruitment team.
• Develop new accounts from initial contact through to established client relationships.
• Build and expand existing PRS client relationships.
• Identify additional recruitment requirements and cross-selling opportunities within existing accounts.
• Follow up leads, conversations and opportunities consistently.
• Maintain accurate records of activity, opportunities and client information.
• Work closely with recruitment consultants to understand market requirements and deliver solutions.
• Develop a strong understanding of PRS’s specialist recruitment sectors.
• Use LinkedIn, databases, CRM systems, email and telephone campaigns to generate opportunities.
• Build your own network of contacts and develop long-term commercial relationships.
• Contribute ideas to improve business development activity and lead-generation strategies.

Who We’re Looking For

You don’t necessarily need previous recruitment experience.

We are looking for someone with the personality, drive and commercial instinct to succeed in recruitment.

You could come from telesales, business development, recruitment, sales, account management, retail sales, hospitality or another target-driven environment.

What matters most is that you are:

• Highly proactive and commercially driven.
• Confident speaking to people on the telephone.
• Comfortable making outbound calls and creating new conversations.
• Naturally curious and able to ask good questions.
• Persistent without being pushy.
• Able to identify opportunities and turn conversations into business.
• Confident developing relationships with senior decision-makers.
• Organised and capable of managing multiple opportunities.
• Target-driven and motivated by financial reward.
• Positive, energetic and resilient.
• Keen to learn and develop.
• Looking for a genuine long-term career in recruitment.
• New Business + Account Development
• This role isn’t purely about cold calling.

We want someone who can win new business and then develop it.
A successful candidate will learn how to identify opportunities within an account, understand a client’s wider recruitment requirements and work with our recruitment teams to expand the relationship.

You’ll have the opportunity to turn a first conversation into a meeting, a meeting into an account and an account into a long-term commercial relationship.

Career Development

PRS is looking for people who want to build a career within recruitment.
As you develop your commercial skills, recruitment knowledge and client relationships, there will be opportunities to progress into more senior business development, recruitment consultant, account management and leadership positions.
We want people who are ambitious enough to say:
“I want to learn, I want to succeed and I want to progress.”
If you are looking for somewhere to spend six months before moving on, this probably isn’t the opportunity for you.
If you want to develop a career within an established recruitment business and have the ambition to progress, we’d like to hear from you.

What PRS Offers

• £26,000–£30,000 starting salary depending on experience.
• Strong and healthy commission scheme with significant earning potential.
• Clear opportunity to increase your earnings through new business generation and account growth.
• Established recruitment business with over 25 years’ trading history.
• Training and development within the recruitment sector.
• Exposure to experienced recruitment professionals and specialist markets.
• Opportunity to build your own client portfolio.
• Career progression into recruitment, business development, account management and leadership.
• Hybrid working.
• Supportive, entrepreneurial and commercially focused environment.

The Person

If you’re hungry for success, confident on the phone, highly proactive and want to build a career rather than simply find another job , we’d like to speak with you.

You don’t need to know everything about recruitment on day one.

We can teach you recruitment.

What we can’t teach is attitude, ambition, resilience and the desire to win.

If you’ve got those qualities, PRS can give you the platform to build a successful career.
