Account Executive UK - Recruitment SaaS

Help reshape how technology companies hire

Most recruitment models haven’t evolved in years.

Rigid RPO contracts. Transactional agencies. Little flexibility. Low accountability.

Meanwhile, hiring has become one of the biggest growth levers — or bottlenecks — for technology companies scaling across Europe.

That’s where this business comes in.

They are offering a more flexible, transparent and scalable way for companies to hire top talent globally.

And now, they’re looking for one of the first Account Executives focused on growing the UK Technology market.

Why this opportunity stands out

You’ll join at the right moment

The recruitment market is rebounding, particularly within Technology — one of the fastest-growing hiring sectors across the UK and Europe.

You’ll be speaking with companies actively looking for alternatives to traditional recruitment models.

The timing, market conditions and product positioning create a genuine opportunity to build significant pipeline and earnings.

You’ll sell something companies actually want

You won’t be trying to convince companies to buy outdated agency retainers or inflexible hiring contracts.

You’ll be introducing a more modern hiring solution to Technology scale-ups, AI infrastructure businesses, Cybersecurity companies, Industrial and deep-tech firms, Enterprise organisations scaling technical teams.
