Part Time Business Development Manager

Hill Start International Pty Ltd currently works with business clients across 2 divisions, executive recruitment and outsourced sales and marketing.

This role is to work within the recruitment division of the company to source and win new clients and understand their specific recruitment requirements. The role will require a mixture of both initial telephone outreach and face-to-face meetings and presentations to secure quality recruitment assignments.

There will be comprehensive initial and ongoing training, and you can be confident you are representing one of the most experienced and skilled recruitment specialists in Australia. We currently have a market-leading success rate across all client projects. All clients use us exclusively and repeatedly for their staffing needs and we deliver best in class talent for each and every one of their key roles.

We recruit across several business disciplines and are looking to expand rapidly into new areas of expertise. This growth will lead to larger opportunities within the business.

Specific duties will involve;

  • Research, identify and contact organisations to introduce our quality recruitment solutions and win recruitment assignments. We have a preference for both a geographical focus (e.g. locations within Melbourne) and also one or two vertical markets to target, which could include an area of specific interest or prior experience relevant to the successful person.
  • Maintain ongoing communication with prospective and existing clients to identify future recruitment opportunities.
  • Use a CRM system to manage and record activity. Follow up with ongoing email communication.
  • Work with the Director to improve current presentation and email material.
  • Secure and conduct business meetings with senior Executives at large and interesting corporations in Melbourne/Victoria.
  • Other ad hoc administrative and telephone-based tasks as required.

This will be a very interesting and diverse role, allowing a unique opportunity to research, understand and interact with business leaders. Recruitment, in our opinion, is a truly unique career offering exceptional professional development, deep job satisfaction and financial reward. We are offering a very flexible working arrangement to specifically fit with an individual’s unique working requirements. It is expected that roughly 50% of the time will be spent meeting with prospective clients.

Recruitment is also challenging for many reasons. Therefore, to succeed in this role you will need to demonstrate;

  • Looking for a challenging and rewarding career with long term growth and development.
  • Strong interest in business, marketing, careers, recruitment or technology. Genuine interest in one or more vertical markets or niche business sectors. Please tell me what excites you about business and what opportunities you would be interested in developing!
  • First class communication skills, both verbal and written.
  • In-person presentation experience would be highly advantageous, although specific training will be provided.
  • Enthusiasm, resilience and a willingness to speak with and meet with a lot of business executives every week to understand their recruitment challenges and goals.
  • Technologically capable, to use CRM system, social media and internet research tools.
  • Able to multitask and manage numerous concurrent projects.
  • Eligibility to work within Australia.

We operate a relaxed yet professional work environment, so it is expected the successful person will be able to work under their own initiative, sometimes with close guidance and teamwork, other times using your own impetus to manage a full schedule. We have a nice office in Preston and flexibility for other locations across Melbourne. We will provide tools to do the job, such as PC/laptop/MS Surface Pro, mobile phone and travel expenses.

There is flexibility with regard to contract terms and hours are negotiable, initially in the range of 1-2 days per week. There will be a negotiable hourly rate and payment terms to suit your existing requirements (i.e. work on our payroll or invoice as your own ABN). We will also offer a genuine success-based bonus, which could eclipse total annual paid earnings.

In the first instance, please submit your CV to the Director and Principal Consultant, Jeremy Hill, quoting reference JH40830 and we will be in touch with you to progress your application.
