Recruitment resources for HR & Hiring Managers
The employer hub is a one-stop resource library for HR & hiring managers. Here you will find articles and information on subjects such as salary benchmarking, interview process & presentation ideas, recruitment brand protection and much more.
Additionally there are some very basic sales & business development job descriptions which you are free to use should it give you a foundation to start from when putting together a brief for a new role.
Should you require more specialist help or specific guidance, please do get in contact with us. We’re more than happy to do whatever we can to help, even if you are not actively looking to use our services. We very much believe in supporting the market with advice as opposed to only helping employers with live roles.
Our experienced sales & business development focused recruitment team can offer guidance with any recruitment related query or concern, and if we cannot help we will be able to recommend somebody who can.
Sales/Business Development Job Description Templates
Here’s a collection of some very general descriptions, for types of job you may be looking to recruit. You can download each in a simple editable word format. Each description gives a clear example of a basic layout along with some general information about the type of duties each role would require.
These are not perfect examples for you to go out to market with, but they can help as a starting point, and you can then add and edit elements to suit your position.
Hopefully they can save you some time or provide some inspiration to get the process of recruitment started.

"Absolutely brilliant experience with Joby who initially contacted me about a role I’d applied for. The whole process was supportive, encouraging and he gave me the confidence to really go for it with my application, interview and second interview presentation. I was offered the role which I accepted and am really enjoying getting my teeth stuck into an exciting part-time role I didn’t think would exist, plus I’m surrounded by a great team of people in a lovely location. Could not recommend Joby and his team highly enough!" -
"From our very first conversation Joby was so kind and helpful. He supported me through every interview stage with practical honest advice, timely feedback and encouragement. Thanks to Joby and the team at Brand Recruitment I landed a role that’s the perfect fit for me and that I’m genuinely excited about. I honestly can’t thank them enough."
