Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand HainesAttract Full time

At HainesAttract, we help organisations find and keep the right people, the ones who make the difference. We're a tight, talented team who care deeply about great work, great relationships, and making recruitment feel human. And right now, we're looking for a Business Development Manager who brings commercial hunger, sales confidence and a genuine curiosity for how businesses grow.

The Role

This is a sales-led role, one for someone who loves identifying opportunities, opening doors and turning conversations into meaningful commercial outcomes. You'll blend proactive business development with recruitment delivery, working across three key groups:

  • Lapsed or past clients ready to be re-engaged and reactivated
  • New clients through targeted, strategic BD activity
  • Existing customers where there's untapped potential

You'll build partnerships with organisations who value insight, responsiveness and action. Early wins will come through delivering recruitment assignments, building trust and proving value quickly. From there, your focus is on creating momentum: growing accounts, broadening relationships and positioning wider HainesAttract solutions.

What success looks like

Success in this role looks like consistently generating and converting new business opportunities, re-activating lapsed accounts and building repeatable revenue streams. You'll grow client value through consultative sales, deliver early recruitment wins that build credibility, and drive strong follow-through, action and commercial discipline. Alongside that, you'll form trusted internal partnerships with our senior leadership and delivery teams to ensure seamless execution. we'll back you with a meaningful base and bonus scheme.

What we're looking for

You'll come from agency recruitment with a proven track record of sales performance. You know how to generate your own pipeline, you understand the levers of a great BD conversation, and you're comfortable navigating a mix of warm, lapsed and cold opportunities. Just as important is how you show up:

  • Likeable and credible, someone people want in the room
  • Commercially curious with a genuine interest in how businesses work
  • Disciplined in follow-up and action management
  • Adaptable, quick to learn new markets and confident in new conversations
  • Media agency experience is a bonus, not a requirement.

Why come join us?

We're here to help organisations across Aotearoa connect with the right people and we do this through a wide, diverse suite of solutions. From employer branding, recruitment marketing and creative campaigns, through to talent sourcing, RPO, executive search and everything in between, you'll have a full toolbox behind your BD conversations.

You'll join a team that backs you, trusts you and gives you space to shape how we grow. Your ideas matter here and so does your success. With the depth of our capability and the variety of our client work, you'll have endless opportunities to open doors, solve problems and make a real impact.

In addition to our amazing team, we offer a host of perks and benefits designed for real life. Genuine flexibility to balance work and life, wellbeing support, hybrid working, and access to two weeks of bonus leave.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
