Sales Development Representative (SDR) – Remote, Recruitment Industry

Sales Development Representative (SDR) – Remote

Fully remote, full-time, US hours

Work directly with the founder of a specialist recruitment firm and build its outbound engine from the ground up, with real ownership from week one. A SaaS, ERP or tech background is ideal but not required.

You'll own prospecting, list building and outreach campaigns that turn into qualified conversations for the founder, with some marketing and candidate delivery support on the side. If you're relentless about pipeline, write clean and persuasive outreach, and love turning cold lists into booked meetings, this is built for you.

What you'd actually do

Build and clean targeted prospect lists of hiring managers and decision-makers

Research target accounts and prepare briefing notes so every outreach touch is relevant

Set up and run multi-channel outbound campaigns (email, LinkedIn) in Smartlead and our CRM

Write and test outreach sequences, subject lines and follow-ups to lift reply and meeting-booked rates

Qualify inbound and outbound leads against our ideal client profile

Book discovery calls onto the founder's calendar and hand off with full context

Track all activity and keep the CRM and pipeline data clean and current

Support marketing and candidate delivery when needed: newsletters, social posts and shortlists

You won't be closing deals or negotiating fees, that stays with the founder. Your job is filling the top of funnel and keeping the pipeline full of qualified conversations.

Who this suits

• You've run SDR, lead gen or sales development for a company
• Your written English is genuinely excellent, non-negotiable, since you'll be writing outreach that lands in a stranger's inbox
• You know how to build a prospect list, sequence outreach and read reply-rate data
• You're comfortable with outreach tools and CRMs, or you learn them fast
• You like systems, lists and knowing exactly where every lead is up to
• Recruitment industry exposure is a plus, not a requirement

Practical bits

• Fully remote, you can be based anywhere, but you must work US business hours
• Structured six-month ramp-up with training across outbound, tools and the recruitment business
• Modern stack (Claude, Smartlead, and modern outreach and CRM tools), and you'll learn to use it properly
• Results-focused: booked meetings and pipeline generated, not hours-logged
