Mercury Hampton is an award-winning, innovative consultancy specialising in business intelligence, talent acquisition, and performance transformation for the engineering, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors globally. In 2024 alone, we supported clients in 23 countries. As we continue to grow, we are seeking a commercially minded, senior-level recruiter with a passion for new business development to join our international team.

The Opportunity:

Are you a recruitment professional with a hunter mentality? Do you excel at building relationships and opening doors with new clients? Mercury Hampton invites you to take a lead role in our business development efforts-starting with the UK and USA, and then expanding your impact across the APAC region.

Phased Regional Focus & Working Hours:

• First 6 Months:
  • Focus on UK (morning, Philippine time) and US East Coast (afternoon, Philippine time) engineering and manufacturing clients.
  • Work UK/US business hours to build experience, learn our consultative approach, and establish a strong client base with direct support from our UK-based directors and marketing team.
• After 6 Months:
  • Transition to standard Philippine working hours.
  • Shift focus to developing new business in neighbouring APAC countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Australia.
  • Leverage your expertise to drive Mercury Hampton’s growth in the region.

What You’ll Do:

• Drive New Business: Proactively identify and engage potential clients in the UK and US (first 6 months), then APAC (after 6 months) within engineering and manufacturing.
• Client Outreach: Use email, LinkedIn, and follow-up calls-supported by our marketing manager and UK-based campaigns-to generate leads and set appointments.
• Team Collaboration: Work closely with directors and join client calls as you learn our consultative approach.
• Account Mapping: Expand relationships within existing client accounts, identifying new departments and opportunities.
• Full Sales Cycle: Manage your pipeline from initial outreach to securing meetings and supporting the recruitment process for technical and sales positions.
• Leverage Technology: Utilise our marketing software for time zone-targeted outreach and our proprietary recruitment tools for client delivery.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience: Proven background as a Business Development Manager or Senior Recruiter in the recruitment sector, ideally with a focus on engineering, manufacturing, or technical roles.
• Business Development: Demonstrable success in winning new clients and generating appointments.
• Communication: Outstanding written and verbal English skills, with the ability to engage senior decision-makers.
• Self-Starter: Highly motivated, ambitious, and able to work independently from the Philippines, managing your own schedule and targets.
• Team Player: Willingness to collaborate, learn, and grow with support from our UK head office and marketing team.
