As they continue to scale, the business is investing further in the development of its people and is looking to hire a Sales Trainer / Performance Coach to join the London team and play a pivotal role in driving consultant performance and revenue across the business.

This is a hands-on, commercial role focused on generating as much revenue as possible from the sales teams, sharpening recruitment delivery, and ensuring every consultant – from new starter to experienced biller – is operating at the top of their game.

The successful candidate will travel periodically to the international offices to support consultant development, embed best practice, and ensure consistency in performance standards across the global business.

Key responsibilities

• Coach consultants on lead generation, business development, candidate management, client management and deal closing
• Continuously develop the recruitment style and strategy of all consultants in line with the business’s operating performance and quality standards
• Tightly manage and reinforce processes, identifying opportunities for improvement and acting on them quickly
• Work alongside management to identify performance gaps, performance trends and development needs
• Embed best practice across contract, permanent, project-based, statement of works (SOW) and MSP recruitment delivery
• Support international offices through periodic travel, ensuring consistent standards and capability across the group

What our client is looking for

• Proven 360 recruitment experience, ideally gained within a technical or specialist recruitment market
• Strong working knowledge of contract and permanent recruitment, as well as project-based recruitment, statement of works (SOW) and MSP environments
• A track record of high personal billings and/or coaching and developing others to bill at a high level
• The credibility to coach, challenge and influence consultants at all levels – including senior billers and managers
• Confident operating on a live sales floor; comfortable coaching in the moment, on live deals
• Commercial mindset with a sharp focus on revenue, pipeline and conversion
• Highly process-driven, with the ability to identify performance gaps and act decisively
• Willingness and ability to travel internationally as required

Who is this role best for?

• An experienced 360 recruitment consultant looking to make a career transition into people development, while staying very close to revenue, performance and sales strategy
• Someone with strong experience on the candidate side and in new business development and account maximisation. Proven track record as a successful biller.
• A natural coach and communicator who is equally comfortable working alongside very junior consultants and engaging credibly with senior members of leadership
