Sales Manager

About the business This is a high-growth, founder-led recruitment technology business building a platform designed to replace traditional job boards, agencies, and noise with something far simpler and more intelligent. The platform matches candidates and employers using AI across skills, experience, salary expectations, availability, and intent. Candidates remain anonymous until there is a genuine match. Employers receive a highly curated shortlist of five high-quality, pre-screened candidates, typically within 72 hours.

No job boards. No agency margins. No wasted time. The product is already live, with thousands of candidates on the platform and a growing base of paying clients across the UK.
