This is a remote position.

Telesales New Business Development Agent

Recruitment Sector |  Self-Employed, Commission-Only  |  UK-Wide (Remote / Field-Based)

About Us

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 self-employed sales partners to focus on outreach and relationship-building.

The Opportunity

This is a genuine self-employed, commission-only business opportunity no salary. We're looking for confident, self-motivated individuals to introduce our recruitment services to businesses across the UK and open up new client relationships, which our internal delivery team then supports through to placement.

What You'll Be Doing

●        Contacting businesses to introduce Task Talent Recruitment's services

●        Speaking with hiring managers and decision-makers

●        Setting up follow-up appointments

●        Pitching and closing new client agreements, where experience allows

●        Building and managing your own pipeline of prospects

A list of companies with current hiring activity is provided as a starting point for outreach. These are cold leads, so results depend on your own consistency and approach.

What You'll Need

●        Your own phone, computer/laptop and reliable internet connection

●        A confident, professional telephone manner

●        The right to work as self-employed in the UK

●        Comfort with cold outreach and resilience to rejection

What We Offer

●        Access to our CRM and internal systems

●        A curated list of companies currently hiring, to support your outreach

●        An established onboarding and client-handover process

●        Recruitment delivery support for every client you introduce

●        Optional guidance to help develop your outreach approach

As a self-employed partner, you decide how, when and where you work, and you're free to take on other clients or income streams alongside this opportunity.

Commission & Earnings

This role is commission-only. There is no basic salary, and no income is guaranteed. Commission is a one-off percentage of the agency's placement fee, paid only once a placement is confirmed, invoiced and the funds have cleared. Cold outreach and recruitment sales cycles are slow — it commonly takes several weeks or months of consistent activity before a first placement lands, and many introductions won't convert at all. The figures below show what commission looks like per individual placement, for illustration only — they are not a projection of monthly or annual income:

Agents who only set appointments earn 30% of the placement fee; agents who also close deals directly earn 50%. Temporary and contract placements also generate a much smaller ongoing commission (20% of net revenue) for the life of the assignment. These are one possible outcome, not a typical or expected outcome — how much (or how little) you earn depends entirely on your own activity, results and the number of placements that actually complete. Please only take on this role if you can comfortably support yourself financially without relying on it for income.

Self-Employed Status

This is a self-employed contractor role, not an employed position. Under this arrangement you:

●        Choose your own hours and working pattern

●        Are free to work with other clients or businesses alongside this opportunity

●        Use your own equipment

●        Are responsible for your own tax, National Insurance and insurance

●        Do not receive employee benefits such as holiday pay, sick pay or pension contributions

We recommend seeking independent advice if you're unsure whether this arrangement suits your circumstances.

Who This Suits

●        Confident, resilient communicators comfortable with cold outreach

●        People who want flexibility and independence in how they work

●        Those who can support themselves financially without relying on this income, especially early on

●        People who are motivated by building something themselves, rather than a guaranteed pay cheque

●        Individuals who want the backing of a wider team and process, rather than working entirely alone
