Through our network of offices, we service clients across Australasia, North America, and Europe providing world-class sales, marketing, and technical talent to the world’s most exciting technology businesses.
We’re driven by our values: Passion, Energy, Commitment, Integrity, and Fun and these are evident in all that we do. We are a collaborative, results-focused business dedicated to our colleagues, clients, and candidates alike.
Why work for Certus Recruitment?
Following a highly successful period with considerable growth globally over the last 2 years we are looking to build on that success with the addition of an experienced Business Development Manager, tasked with developing and growing our Sales, Marketing, and IT Recruitment offerings across the UK and Europe.
Reporting directly to and working closely with the Senior Management Team, you will be responsible for the European Sales function, supported by your International and local colleagues. You will have the opportunity to directly influence our product offering and its route to market. You will love being ‘hands-on’, involved directly with taking our services to market, however, you’ll also likely have bigger plans, with the potential and ability to build and lead a larger European business development function.
You may be an experienced sales professional from the Tech sector or be an accomplished recruiter looking to accelerate your career by taking on a bigger role. You will be someone who craves working in a positive, optimistic, and collaborative environment and will demonstrate a clear desire to be around people most of the time. Unlike a lot of people in the post-Covid world, the idea of working predominantly from home probably fills you with dread!
The Role
This is a strategic position within the business, with considerable scope to shape our European over the coming years. Purely a business development role without responsibility for delivery, you will pass newly won accounts to Client Managers and Delivery Consultants, but you will remain involved in developing those accounts through the building of great client relationships.

Sale of bespoke Recruitment and Talent solutions including retained, contingent, and contract recruitment services
