    Recruitment Business Development Jobs, US and UK

    Short answer

    EQ Group hires client-facing recruitment and business development consultants across its US and UK brands, from Academy business development trainees on a £24k base to senior 360 desks paying up to $130k base with uncapped commission.

    Business development inside the group is not cold calling into a list. Each brand runs a defined niche with published market data behind it, so outreach starts from a mapped market rather than a guess.

    Desks span the US and UK. Commission is uncapped on every client-facing role, and the base band is published on each role page rather than held back for a screening call.

    Pay bands

    Guaranteed base pay across these roles runs £24k to £70k. Commission, bonus and equity are stated on each role in addition to the base.

    How the desks are structured

    Consultants sit inside a brand pod with its own niche, its own market map and its own client base. Group functions provide the tooling, data and marketing rather than each desk rebuilding them.

    Pay transparency

    Every role publishes its guaranteed base band and its commission structure. Where a role has an on-target figure, that figure is stated alongside the base rather than in place of it.
