Build a Client Base From Scratch | High Autonomy | Commission on Every Deal

Build a client base from scratch in a high-autonomy, remote sales role.

No leads. No CRM. No existing clients — just a genuine opportunity to create something and earn commission on every deal.

E Junior Recruitment is a freelance recruitment business (sole trader) providing a new hands-on recruitment campaign management services to SMEs, helping them hire admin, customer service, data entry, finance, HR and digital marketing staff. We are looking for a part-time Recruitment Sales Executive to help build our client base from scratch through cold outreach and business development.

This is an early-stage startup environment, meaning you’ll play a key role in generating new business from day one.

The Role

This is a standalone sales role, working directly with the business owner.

You will be responsible for

• Identifying and targeting SME businesses
• Generating new leads from scratch
• Prospecting, pitching, and securing new recruitment clients
• Selling a freelance recruitment campaign management service
• Choosing and focusing on industries/sectors where you believe you can win business
• Engaging directly with business owners, MDs, and hiring managers
• Handing secured clients to the owner for delivery

Your role is to win new business.

The owner is responsible for delivering the service.

Working Environment

• Fully remote
• Flexible working hours
• No micromanagement
• No existing systems, CRM, or inbound leads
• No team structure – you will work directly with the owner

This is a high-trust, high-autonomy role suited to someone who enjoys building something from zero rather than inheriting accounts.

Who This Role Is Ideal For

• Someone comfortable generating new business independently
• A recruiter or B2B salesperson with outbound experience
• Someone looking for part-time, flexible work
• A self-starter who enjoys ownership and autonomy
• Someone realistic about working in a startup environment
• Candidates comfortable selling a freelancer-led service

Who This Role Is NOT For

• Candidates expecting warm leads or inbound enquiries
• Those who rely on brand recognition or marketing support
• Anyone seeking a corporate structure or large team
• Individuals who need close supervision or daily direction

Important

This role involves building a pipeline from scratch.

There are no existing clients, databases, or marketing support.

Success in this role will depend on your ability to generate and convert new business through outbound activity.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Real opportunity to build a client base from zero
• Commission on every deal you close
• Freedom to choose your own sector and approach
• High level of trust, flexibility, and ownership
• Opportunity to grow with the business long-term
