Recruitment Business Development Manager

Automotive Recruitment | Retail Main Dealer Network

Birmingham (Hybrid)
£35,000 basic + uncapped commission
Realistic OTE: £48,000 Year 1 | £60,000+ Year 2

This Is a Growth Role — Not a Transactional Sales Job.

We are looking for someone who understands the commercial reality inside a main dealer workshop.

• Productivity targets.
• Recovery rates.
• Technician shortages.
• Margin pressure.

This role is about building long-term B2B relationships with senior dealership stakeholders and helping them improve workshop stability and performance.

If you rely on quick wins and high-volume selling, this won't suit you.

If you value credibility, consistency and commercial conversations — it will.

Recruitment Boutique is an automotive specialist recruitment company established in 2014, operating nationwide across England, Scotland and Wales. We support retail main dealerships with temporary and permanent automotive professionals. We are built by people from the industry, for the industry. As we continue scaling our temporary division, we are investing in a Business Development Manager who can expand our footprint across dealer groups and franchise networks.

• Expanding our presence across assigned dealer groups
• Building trusted relationships with Aftersales Managers, Service Managers, Dealer Principals and Group Directors
• Increasing contractor volume across your region
• Positioning our service around commercial ROI, not price
• Maintaining disciplined CRM pipeline management
• Working closely with a dedicated Talent Consultant to ensure delivery matches growth
• Achieving clearly defined activity and revenue KPIs

• Strong background in retail automotive (highly advantageous)
• Experience building and maintaining B2B relationships
• Commercial awareness — you understand workshop performance metrics
• Structured and disciplined daily activity habits
• Confident communicator with emotional intelligence
• Comfortable with CRM systems and digital tools
• Full UK driving licence

Recruitment experience is welcomed. Automotive credibility is more important.

We don't micromanage, and we provide autonomy and flexibility. However, performance is measured.

If you prefer loose targets and minimal accountability, this role will not be the right fit.
