Trainee Recruitment Consultant (Sales / Business Development Focus)

Launch your sales career in recruitment with VIQU Energy

Are you currently working in sales, business development, or a target-driven B2B environment and looking for your next step? Perhaps you’ve built strong commercial skills in areas such as energy sales, telecoms, SaaS, or outbound B2B sales and want a career with bigger earning potential, faster progression, and long-term opportunities.

At VIQU Energy, we’re looking for ambitious, resilient and commercially minded individuals to join us as Trainee Recruitment Consultants, with a strong focus on sales, business development and generating new client relationships.

You don’t need recruitment experience, if you can sell, build relationships, and thrive in a performance-led environment, we can teach you the rest.

The role

As a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, you’ll be trained to become a full 360 consultant, with a strong emphasis on the sales and revenue-generating side of recruitment.

From day one, you’ll work closely with experienced managers and top billers who will coach you 1:1 and support your development.

You’ll learn how to:

Proactively win new business and develop new client relationships
Identify sales opportunities within your market
Conduct business development calls and meetings with decision-makers
Build and manage your own client portfolio
Negotiate fees, terms, and offers
Deliver against revenue and billing targets
Manage the full recruitment lifecycle from client acquisition to placement
This is a fast-paced, target-driven role where your effort directly impacts your earnings and progression.

Who we’re looking for:

We’re particularly keen to hear from people with experience in:

B2B sales (energy, utilities, telecoms, SaaS, professional services, etc.)
Business development or account management
Outbound / phone-based sales environments
Estate agency, lettings, or property sales
Any role where you’ve worked to KPIs, targets, or commission
You’ll be a strong fit if you are:

Commercially driven and money-motivated
Confident speaking to senior stakeholders
Resilient and comfortable with rejection
Competitive, proactive, and results-focused
Keen to build a long-term career, not just a job
