Associate Recruitment Consultant
Meet Life Sciences | London | October start
Build a career in sales with uncapped commission and progression based on performance!
We’re looking for competitive, commercially driven people who want to build a career in recruitment sales.
This is a target-driven role where you’ll win new clients, develop business relationships and place candidates into jobs. Your day will involve outbound calls, prospecting, pitching our services, negotiating terms and closing deals.
Meet specialises in recruiting for Life Sciences companies. Your job will be selling recruitment services and managing hiring processes. A science degree or scientific background isn’t required; we’re interested in your motivation for sales, resilience and drive to succeed.
The role
You’ll learn to manage your own recruitment market, building a portfolio of clients and candidates. With training and coaching, you’ll take ownership of the full recruitment process, from winning business to securing placements.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Winning new business: identify prospective clients, make cold calls and pitch Meet’s recruitment services.
- Building client relationships: speak with hiring managers, understand their recruitment needs and secure opportunities to work together.
- Developing your market: build a network, identify commercial opportunities and grow repeat business.
- Finding and engaging candidates: use outbound calls, LinkedIn, referrals and advertising to connect with suitable people.
- Negotiating and closing: negotiate recruitment fees, support salary discussions and manage offers through to acceptance.
- Working towards targets: meet clear activity, business development and revenue goals.
- Managing your pipeline: keep accurate records and follow up consistently with clients and candidates.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who we’re looking for
You don’t need previous recruitment experience, but you do need a clear interest in a sales career.
You’ll suit this role if you:
- Enjoy initiating conversations and persuading people.
- Are comfortable making outbound calls and proactively approaching new contacts.
- Are motivated by targets, commission and measurable results.
- Can handle rejection, learn from feedback and keep going.
- Want ownership of your own business relationships and earning potential.
- Are organised, competitive and willing to put in consistent effort.
Experience in outbound sales, business development, telesales or another target-driven role is highly preferred. A degree is optional.
