Hill Start International Pty Ltd currently provides quality solutions to clients across two business units; executive recruitment and outsourced sales and marketing.

Most of our recruitment work is for hard-to-find specialist roles and the outsourced sales has helped many businesses dramatically increase their revenue. We have completed numerous diverse client assignments over the last 10 years which have made a massive impact on our clients’ businesses. We are in the process of creating a new division, complementary to our existing services, but servicing a specific area of Melbourne.

Here is an example of a recruitment assignment we recruited for a long-standing client. We will be recruiting for a similar role in the same team in November. https://hillstart.me/jh40259/

This role is to work with the recruitment division to identify new prospective clients initially using several different research methodologies. There could also be an opportunity to provide input into new branding, website and marketing plan. Then, primarily, there will be direct telephone outreach to researched potential clients to gain a better understanding of their relevant business and recruitment requirements. Comprehensive training will be provided.

This role will initially be a part time internship, 1-2 days per week until February 2025 but will ideally develop into a full-time permanent role if you are enjoying the work and achieving relevant goals and levels of competency. We have a nice office in Sunshine not far from Sunshine station. There is parking nearby also.

Specific duties will involve;

• Assist and provide input to the Director with regard to new client research and business development.
• Research and understand businesses in Melbourne.
• Prepare and execute sales campaigns with the Director, especially telephone outreach. Make a high volume of telephone sales calls.
• Attend meetings with potential clients to further understand their unique requirements.
• Any other ad hoc work as required, such as general administration and speaking with recruitment campaign applicants.

This is an entry level role, including full and ongoing training for a business which has grown steadily over the last 5 years and is now entering a new growth phase. Not only will this role be interesting, varied and challenging in the short term, but it could offer superb development potential for the future if you wish to take on a continuing role in 2025. It is expected that the successful person will attend conferences and events as well as undertake formal/informal learning as an ongoing part of the role in the future.

To succeed in this role you will need to demonstrate;

• Studying for or recently completed degree or tertiary education. Ideally some experience of managing projects or working as a team on assignments as part of your study. Commerce, strategy or marketing study will be valuable, but we are entirely flexible about specific qualifications.
• A strong interest in business and how companies operate. Genuine desire to research businesses. We will discuss this.
• Curiosity coupled with a willingness to work hard and spend time on the telephone taking to a wide range of business executives.
• Ability to use technology proactively, including social media, whether for research or day to day communications.
• Exceptional communication capability and confidence to interact successfully with senior business executives on the telephone and in person.
• You must be living in Melbourne currently and easily able to commute to Sunshine. Eligibility to work within Australia. 

You will be working with the Director and initially undergoing a quality training program. The workplace is in Sunshine not far from Sunshine station. As part of an all-round reward package, you will be provided with current business tools to work effectively, such as PC/laptop/MS Surface Pro, mobile phone. There is flexibility as to how this role will operate, perhaps initially on a part time 1-2 days per week internship basis until February 2025 with a view to the role becoming permanent.
