Trainee Recruitment Consultant (Sales / Business Development Focus)
Launch your sales career in recruitment with VIQU IT
Are you currently working in sales, business development, or a target-driven B2B environment and looking for your next step? Perhaps you’ve built strong commercial skills in areas such as IT hardware, software, telecoms, SaaS, or outbound B2B sales and want a career with bigger earning potential, faster progression, and long-term opportunities.
At VIQU IT, we’re looking for ambitious, resilient and commercially minded individuals to join us as Trainee Recruitment Consultants, with a strong focus on sales, business development and generating new client relationships.
You don’t need recruitment experience, if you can sell, build relationships, and thrive in a performance-led environment, we can teach you the rest.
The role
As a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, you’ll be trained to become a full 360 consultant, with a strong emphasis on the sales and revenue-generating side of recruitment.
From day one, you’ll work closely with experienced managers and top billers who will coach you 1:1 and support your development.
You’ll learn how to:
- Proactively win new business and develop new client relationships
- Identify sales opportunities within your market
- Conduct business development calls and meetings with decision-makers
- Build and manage your own client portfolio
- Negotiate fees, terms, and offers
- Deliver against revenue and billing targets
- Manage the full recruitment lifecycle from client acquisition to placement
This is a fast-paced, target-driven role where your effort directly impacts your earnings and progression.
Who we’re looking for:
We’re particularly keen to hear from people with experience in:
- B2B sales (IT hardware/software, telecoms, SaaS, professional services, etc.)
- Business development or account management
- Outbound / phone-based sales environments
- Any role where you’ve worked to KPIs, targets, or commission
You’ll be a strong fit if you are:
- Commercially driven and money-motivated
- Confident speaking to senior stakeholders
- Resilient and comfortable with rejection
- Competitive, proactive, and results-focused
- Keen to build a long-term career, not just a job
