Metric is a New York-founded global staffing firm with seven offices across the UK and US, recognised by the Financial Times as one of the UK's fastest-growing companies two years in a row.

Learn from some of the industry's highest-performing recruiters, including consultants billing over $1M.

Whether you're a graduate or already have sales experience, we'll give you the training and support to succeed - no recruitment experience needed.

What’s in it for you as a Business Development Executive?

  • High first-year earning potential - earn up to 60% commission

  • World-class 2-week sales intensive training programme - led by industry experts

  • Work alongside million-dollar billers from day one

  • Rapid career progression - management roles in under 2 years

  • A dynamic, supportive & high-energy team culture

  • Relocation opportunities across the US & UK

  • Incentives & rewards – trips to Mexico, the Bahamas & more

What you’ll do as a Business Development Executive?

  • Build and develop new client relationships

  • Source, engage, and manage high-level candidates

  • Partner with decision-makers across multiple industries

  • Place specialist talent into niche US markets

  • Learn and master proven recruitment and sales techniques in a fast-paced environment

We’re looking for individuals who are:

  • Degree educated - 2.1 or above

  • Competitive, driven & ambitious

  • Resilient with a strong work ethic

  • Confident communicators who enjoy building relationships

  • Experience in B2B sales, recruitment, customer service, or a competitive sporting background is advantageous but not essential.

If you're looking for a career where your hard work is recognised, your earnings are uncapped, and your progression is based on performance, we'd love to hear from you.
