Day-to-day operating brief

What Sales Executive (BDM) work looks like in practice

A recruitment Sales Executive creates new client opportunities through outbound contact, networking, meetings and follow-up. Unlike a full recruitment consultant, the role may hand qualified vacancies or accounts to a delivery team rather than source candidates personally. Terms should identify sectors and territory, lead ownership, CRM standards, call and revenue targets, fee and signing limits, commission attribution, expenses and the exact point of handover. Sales pressure cannot justify claims about candidate availability, compliance or service capacity that have not been confirmed. New-business records should separate an interested contact from an authorised buyer and a qualified opportunity. This protects forecasting and ensures proposed fees, exclusivity or service promises are not treated as agreed before procurement and contracting conclude.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Research and contact target employers.
  • Qualify hiring demand and buying process.
  • Arrange discovery and proposal meetings.
  • Present approved recruitment services.
  • Negotiate within delegated fee limits.
  • Maintain CRM forecasts and handovers.
