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.

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.

• 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 Linked In, 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.

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…
