London Sales Recruitment Leader
Lead by example. Drive growth. Rebuild the mojo of a talented London Technology recruitment team.
We’re looking for a hands‑on Sales Recruitment Leader to take ownership of our London Tech team.
You’ll inherit a mix of established and developing consultants, stepping into a role that requires daily sales leadership, real influence, and consistently high personal standards - demonstrated through your own billings, behaviours, and presence on the sales floor.
This is a true front‑foot leadership role. You’ll be the one who sets the pace, builds momentum, sharpens expectations, and brings back the ambition and buzz that make London such an exciting market. With a clear commercial target to deliver, your impact will be visible and valued from day one.
If you thrive on building business, elevating people, and leading from the heart of a busy, buzzing sales environment - this is the role for you.
What you’ll do?
Drive Sales Performance
Lead from the front with high personal billings - aiming £150k from your own portfolio in year one.
Be the key sales influencer on the floor, motivating the team through visible activity, pace, and standards.
Accelerate contract revenue through a hunter mentality: strong pipeline, land‑and‑expand approach, minimum 5+ active clients.
Build momentum in the London office through hands‑on coaching, daily sales rhythm and consistent behaviours.
Strengthen forecasting accuracy and identify new business opportunities.
Develop People & Teams
Quickly build capability across a team with mixed experience levels.
Provide daily coaching on sales activity, pipeline building, client development and best‑in‑class delivery.
Set clear expectations around:
work ethic • resilience • influence • ambition
Build a high‑performance environment grounded in engagement, pace, and shared standards.
Strengthen Client Partnerships
Lead from the front in client generation - you’ll be the voice of best practice for new business.
Ensure a strong balance of fulfilment and sales, supporting consultants to build healthy portfolios.
Foster consultative, long‑term client relationships that align with our growth targets.
Lead With Purpose
Bring energy and presence into the London office at least four days a week, helping build culture, community and team cohesion.
Work collaboratively with senior leadership to maintain pace and elevate performance.
Demonstrate behaviours that inspire and lead from the front.
What you’ll bring
You’ll thrive here if you are:
A hands‑on recruiter who loves being active “on the tools” and doesn’t want to step back from sales.
A natural influencer who can win hearts and minds and set the tone for the team.
A strong biller with a clear track record of self‑generated revenue and a diverse client portfolio.
Resilient, driven, commercially minded and excited to build a London team with huge potential.
Comfortable in a contract‑heavy market, with both perm and contract experience being applicable.
A positive cultural presence who contributes to office energy, team connection, and overall morale.
Why you’ll love it here
At Matchtech, leadership is about impact - on performance, people, and culture. In this role, you’ll enjoy:
Real Influence
Your leadership will shape the future direction, spirit and success of the London Tech team.
Growth & Innovation
Join a Technology division with huge potential, strong Statement of Work capability and no ceiling on ambition.
Clear Commercial Mandate
Drive growth in one of our most exciting markets.
Culture & Purpose
Be part of a values‑led organisation built on trust, professionalism, ambition and fun.
