Freelance Sales and Business Development Partner – Commission Only

Job Description

This is a remote position.

Freelance Sales and Business Development Partner – Commission Only

Task Talent Recruitment is a UK recruitment agency specialising in temporary and permanent placements across multiple sectors. We provide the systems, tools, brand presence and operational support that allow freelance partners to focus on outreach and relationship building while remaining fully self‑employed. You operate independently but always as part of our wider process, ensuring every client you bring in is supported by our recruitment delivery team.

About the Role

We’re looking for self‑employed freelance partners to help expand our client base. This role suits someone confident speaking to businesses, comfortable with cold outreach and motivated by earning commission from successful placements.

You’ll represent Task Talent Recruitment directly by introducing our services, opening conversations with hiring managers and generating new business opportunities that feed into our internal recruitment workflow. You’re part of a structured system designed to support and convert the opportunities you create.

This is a commission‑only role with no basic salary.

What You’ll Be Doing

The role centres around cold calling and outreach. You will:

• Contact businesses to introduce Task Talent Recruitment
  
• Speak with hiring managers and decision makers
  
• Set appointments for follow‑up conversations
  
• Pitch and close deals if you have previous experience
  
• Build and manage your own pipeline of potential clients
  
• Work in alignment with our internal process so new clients transition smoothly into our recruitment delivery team
  

Leads are provided, but they are cold, so confidence and consistency are important.

What You Need

Because this is a self‑employed role, you must have:

• Your own mobile phone
  
• A computer or laptop
  
• A reliable internet connection
  
• A confident, professional phone manner
  
• The ability to work independently while following our client onboarding process
  

What We Provide

• Access to our CRM and internal workflow
  
• A curated lead list of companies currently hiring, giving you warm opportunities to contact and offer support with their recruitment needs
  
• A proven onboarding and client‑handover process
  
• Recruitment delivery support for every client you bring in
  
• Optional guidance and development to help you improve outreach and consistency
  

Earnings and Commission

This is a commission‑only opportunity with no guaranteed income.

Commission is uncapped and paid as a percentage of the agency fee for each successful hire you generate. Higher‑value roles produce higher fees, so your earnings scale with the opportunities you create.

Actual earnings depend on activity, consistency and performance. Recruitment cycles take time, so your first commission may take several weeks or months, but once your pipeline is active, commissions can be strong and reflect the effort you put in.

Self‑Employed Status

This is not an employed position. As a contractor, you choose your own hours, choose your own workflow, can work with other clients, are responsible for your own tax and insurance and do not receive employee benefits.

This independence is essential for compliance and gives you full control over how you work.

Progression Opportunities

There are opportunities to expand your responsibilities over time, including interviewing candidates for client vacancies in addition to booking appointments and, where appropriate, closing new clients.

Partners who demonstrate professionalism, reliability and strong results may be considered for additional opportunities within Task Talent Recruitment. While not guaranteed, structured pathways are available for those who excel.

Who This Role Suits

This opportunity is a good fit for someone who:

• Is confident on the phone
  
• Wants flexibility and independence
  
• Enjoys speaking with businesses
  
• Is comfortable with cold outreach
  
• Is motivated by uncapped commission‑based earnings
  
• Can support themselves during the initial ramp‑up period
  
• Prefers being part of a wider system rather than working completely alone
  
• Can stay consistent with outreach even when results take time
