Business Development Executive (IT Recruitment - New Client Acquisition)

Zone IT Solutions is a specialist IT recruitment firm supporting enterprise and government clients across Australia. We work in competitive markets where speed, credibility, and delivery outcomes define success.

We are hiring a Business Development Executive who is hungry to create results, loves conversations, and can build trust through real understanding — not sales scripts.

The Role

This role is focused on new client acquisition.

We’re looking for someone who can:
✅ start strong conversations with decision makers
✅ understand pain points deeply (not surface-level selling)
✅ speak confidently about the IT industry and project cycles
✅ connect problems to solutions and position Zone’s value clearly
✅ create opportunities that convert into long-term accounts

This role is not for someone who relies on "charm" alone.

We’re looking for a professional who can connect technology to business outcomes, earn trust quickly, and build credibility through insight and execution.

Key Activities (What you will do)

• Identify and qualify new client opportunities through research, targeting, and market mapping
• Run outbound outreach across phone, email, LinkedIn, and referral channels
• Hold strong discovery conversations with Hiring Managers, HR, and TA leaders
• Understand hiring pain points, project timelines, delivery gaps, and supplier challenges
• Position Zone’s recruitment capability with clarity (speed, quality, reach, reliability)
• Use multi-channel engagement to build pipeline:
• social media outreach
• email marketing
• SMS / WhatsApp follow-ups
• industry events and networking
• Maintain clean CRM tracking for leads, notes, follow-ups, and next steps
• Collaborate with delivery and leadership teams to convert opportunities into active roles

Outcomes (What success looks like)

• Consistent qualified meetings with decision makers
• Strong pipeline of new accounts and live hiring requirements
• Higher conversion from lead → meeting → requirement → client win
• Increased Zone footprint across new teams, new clients, and new regions
• Strong market presence through consistent outreach and engagement

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in BD / sales (recruitment or IT services preferred)
• Strong communication + confidence to pick up the phone and drive conversations
• Curiosity to understand IT roles, technology projects, and hiring challenges
• Commercial mindset, high follow-up discipline, and ownership mentality
• Comfortable working with targets and performance-based incentives

Key Qualifications

• Previous experience in business development or sales, ideally in the recruitment or IT services sector.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to engage with stakeholders at all levels.
• Proven ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
• Familiarity with CRM systems and lead generation tools.
• Goal-oriented, self-motivated, and passionate about driving results.
• A proactive approach to problem-solving and the ability to adapt in a fast-paced environment.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field is preferred but not mandatory.
