BD & Client Engagement Specialist (Contract)

Join a boutique recruitment agency!
Remote, 10-hr/week BD & Client Engagement role with hourly pay + commission on client wins & placements.

At Freedom Recruitment Agency, we believe recruitment should be done properly.

We are a Melbourne-based boutique recruitment agency that works with Australian businesses who genuinely value their people. Our focus is simple; helping good employers find great staff, while making the hiring process clear, ethical and effective.

As our business continues to grow, we are looking for someone who enjoys starting conversations with business owners and opening doors to new opportunities.

This role is focused purely on business development and appointment setting. Your role will be to introduce our recruitment services to businesses and book qualified meetings for our director.

This is a flexible contract role suited to someone who enjoys B2B outreach and relationship building.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

  • Contacting potential clients via LinkedIn, phone and email

  • Introducing Freedom Recruitment Agency to business owners and hiring managers

  • Booking qualified meetings for our director

  • Follow up with potential clients and maintain a simple outreach pipeline

  • Identify businesses that may benefit from recruitment services

We work with small and medium sized Australian businesses across industries such as:

  • Building and construction

  • Engineering and trades

  • Hospitality

  • Allied Health

These are businesses that value good people and want to build strong teams.

ABOUT YOU

You might have experience in:

  • Appointment setting or outbound B2B sales

  • Recruitment or talent acquisition

  • Business development

More importantly, you are someone who:

  • Communicates clearly and professionally, with an exceptional phone manner

  • Is comfortable speaking with business owners

  • Enjoys building relationships (and having fun while doing it)

  • Is organised, self-motivated and coachable

  • Take pride in representing a business professionally

CONTRACT STRUCTURE

  • 10 hours per week (flexible)

This contract role has strong earning potential for someone who enjoys business development and wants to contribute to the long-term growth of a boutique recruitment agency.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

Freedom Recruitment Agency is built on relationships, integrity and service. We only partner with businesses that treat their people with dignity, respect and professionalism.

If you enjoy connecting with people and helping businesses grow their teams the right way, we would love to hear from you.

WHO THIS ROLE IS NOT SUITED FOR

  • If you are after a ‘set and forget’ 9-5 role. This is flexible, results driven work with high reward.

  • Those who are uncomfortable speaking with business owners or decision makers.

  • Those who prefer administrative work over proactively generating new business.

  • Individuals who struggle to track outreach, follow ups and meetings.

  • Those who are not coachable or unwilling to take on feedback.

  • Individuals who want to focus on volume over quality – we value building strong relationships.
