Location: Farnborough
Salary: £27,000-£30,000 (Flexible) + performance-based bonus 
Permanent- Hybrid

Ready to turn your sales ability into a career in recruitment?

We’re growing our Contract division at Energi People and looking for an ambitious, energetic Sales Development Representative (SDR) to help us open doors and create new opportunities across the booming Data Centre market in the UK and Europe.

This isn’t a delivery or candidate sourcing role. It’s pure sales.

Your focus will be simple: get into the market, start conversations, build relationships and uncover contract hiring opportunities for our experienced recruitment team.
If you love the buzz of winning new business, enjoy a target-driven environment and aren’t afraid to pick up the phone, this could be a brilliant opportunity to take your sales career in a new direction.

What will you be doing?

You’ll be at the front end of our Contract business, helping us identify where the next opportunity is coming from.
You’ll be:

• Identifying and approaching new clients across the UK and European Data Centre market
• Speaking with businesses to uncover upcoming projects and contract hiring requirements
• Building genuine relationships with both new and existing clients
• Using calls, email and LinkedIn to get in front of the right people
• Qualifying new opportunities before working alongside our Contract delivery team to fill them
• Developing your own pipeline and keeping on top of opportunities through our CRM
• Working towards clear targets, with the opportunity to see the direct impact of your success

Who are we looking for?

Recruitment experience isn’t essential.

We’re more interested in finding someone with the right attitude, energy and commercial mindset.
You could already be working in sales, business development or an SDR role and wondering what your next step looks like.
You’ll probably enjoy this role if you’re:

• Naturally competitive and motivated by achieving targets
• Confident starting conversations with new people
• Comfortable picking up the phone and creating opportunities from scratch
• Resilient enough to handle the inevitable “no” and go after the next “yes”
• Commercially minded and good at building relationships
• Curious and keen to learn about the Data Centre and wider technical markets
• Looking for a genuine career path into recruitment and business development

Why this opportunity?

The Data Centre sector is an exciting and fast-moving market, and you’ll have the chance to develop your knowledge while working alongside an experienced specialist Contract recruitment team.
More importantly, this is an opportunity to build a career, not simply take another sales job.
You’ll learn how to develop markets, build client relationships, identify hiring opportunities and ultimately develop the skills needed to progress within recruitment.

Interested?

You don’t need to tick every box.
If you’ve got the sales ability, hunger and personality to succeed, we’d like to hear from you.
