Nursery Recruitment Sales Executive – Remote

About the company

E Junior Recruitment is looking for a confident, commercially minded Nursery Recruitment Sales Executive to develop a new client base within one dedicated UK territory.

Your tasks

This is a genuine new-business role.

You will not be expected to cover the whole country.

Instead, we want you to become focused on your chosen territory, understand the nursery market within it, build relationships with nursery owners and managers and develop a long-term client base.

The opportunity You will be responsible for identifying private day nurseries with recruitment needs, speaking directly with nursery owners, directors and managers, introducing our managed recruitment service and converting suitable opportunities into paying clients.

You will not be responsible for delivering the recruitment campaigns yourself.

Once you secure a client, the recruitment campaign will be managed centrally by an experienced Talent Acquisition Manager with extensive recruitment experience, including previous experience recruiting within the nursery sector.

This allows you to remain focused on developing your territory, generating new business and building relationships with the clients you introduce.

The service you will be selling Rather than charging traditional recruitment agency placement fees, E Junior offers private day nurseries a managed recruitment campaign service.

We can support the nursery with the complete recruitment process, including:

• Vacancy and recruitment campaign setup
• Advert creation
• Job-board advertising
• Application management
• Candidate screening
• Shortlisting
• Interview scheduling
• Candidate communication
• Offer management
• Collection of agreed onboarding information

We manage the recruitment campaign while the nursery retains the final hiring decision.

The service is designed for nursery owners and managers who need to recruit but don't have the time or internal recruitment resource to manage the entire process themselves.

• Developing private day nursery clients within your chosen territory
• Researching and identifying suitable prospective clients
• Making proactive outbound calls and other appropriate approaches
• Speaking with nursery owners, directors and managers
• Identifying current and upcoming recruitment requirements
• Introducing E Junior's managed recruitment campaign service
• Understanding each nursery's recruitment challenges
• Creating interest and handling objections
• Following up prospective clients
• Converting opportunities into paid recruitment campaigns
• Maintaining relationships with clients you've introduced
• Identifying repeat recruitment opportunities
• Maintaining accurate activity and pipeline records
• Attending a short weekly performance and pipeline review

Your territory We want you to take genuine ownership of your region.

Your focus will be on building the strongest possible nursery client base within that region rather than making occasional calls across the whole UK.

Performance will be reviewed using clear weekly activity and commercial KPIs, including:

• Prospecting activity
• Decision-maker conversations
• Qualified opportunities
• Pipeline development
• Paid recruitment campaigns
• Revenue generated

Your role is to develop the relationships and win the business.

Requirements

You must be comfortable generating business from scratch.

There will be no established portfolio of nursery clients handed to you. You'll be responsible for creating opportunities within your territory.

Previous experience in any of the following would be particularly useful:

• Recruitment sales
• Recruitment consultancy
• Business development
• Telesales
• Nursery or early-years recruitment
• Selling services to SMEs

However, previous nursery recruitment experience isn't essential if you can demonstrate strong new-business ability.

We are particularly interested in someone who can work independently.

You should not require constant supervision, daily instructions or scripts for every conversation.

We'll provide a clear service, target market, territory, support and expectations. We want someone confident enough to take ownership of their activity and determine how best to generate results.
