Talent Executive

We are looking for a Talent Executive to develop and convert opportunities for a specific portfolio of mid-market clients with high potential for growth.

Alongside an Account Manager, you will have responsibility for month-on-month growth of your own client portfolio and you'll be in charge of expanding our reach within these businesses, bringing on new hirers and departments as regular users.

• To do so you’ll constantly be growing client relationships, proactively speaking with existing users to obtain new briefs, unearthing new users, with the aim at all times develop clients relationships and grow revenue.
• You will work closely with an Account Manager - they will help source briefs from within these organisations in order for you to convert. Your superb client and brief handling skills will help grow and enhance the client relationship, meaning they will come back time and time again.
• You will provide visibility to the wider team by documenting your progress using our internal CRM system, as well as reporting on results on a weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis.
• You will have a true interest in learning how technology can change the way businesses work.

• 2+ years Recruitment experience, either in-house or in an agency environment, or for an online recruitment platform.
