Services · Managed BD for UK recruitment agencies

Thedeskyou'dbuild. Withoutthebuild.

Three layers under one roof: signal engine, value-first outreach, and a human follow-up team. You get the outcome a real BD function would produce, without the headcount, the ramp, or the commission plan.

What we do

Humans do the human bit. AI does the AI job.

Signals, timing and data run on autopilot. When a hiring manager engages, a niche-specialised campaign manager picks up the phone.

Signal Engine

AI reads your ICP, watches the market, and flags hiring managers showing signs they need an agency, at the right moment to reach out.

  • ICP mapped to your best clients
  • Live hiring-intent signals, continuously

Value-First Outreach

We send assets that actually help, not pitches. When a hiring manager engages, our campaign manager steps in with a human message, timed to the moment.

  • Assets written for each sector
  • Engagement triggers the human hand-off

Human Follow-Up

Niche-specialised campaign managers make the calls, hold the follow-ups, and book the meeting. Humans where humans matter.

  • Campaign managers by sector
  • Qualified meetings into your diary

How it works

Thirty minutes of your week. We do the rest.

Qualified meetings with hiring managers ready to sign terms of business. So you can get back to placing candidates.

01
We set up around your ICP.

Thirty minutes to map your best clients, the sectors you win in, and the hiring managers you want to be in front of.

02
We watch the market. You stay focused.

Our team monitors hiring intent across your ICP and identifies the right moment to reach out. Personalised outreach goes to the right person at the right time.

03
A human calls when they engage.

The moment a hiring manager responds, a niche-specialised campaign manager follows up by phone and books a qualified meeting into your diary.

15 meetings booked in 4 days for one client.

Growth scenarios

Most recruitment BD fails because it's too late and too generic.

Four reasons agencies come to us. If any of these are your week, we should talk.

You've outgrown a freelancer

One person isn't a system.

Sporadic activity, nothing behind it. You're ready for a proper desk, without the headcount, ramp or commission plan.

Feast-famine

Pipeline dies the week placements pick up.

Three big months, then nothing. We keep it running even when your consultants can't, so the forecast stops swinging.

You can't justify a BDM

£60k base + commission + ramp? Not yet.

We do the work of a BDM for less, and you see qualified meetings from week two, not month six.

Lead gen burned you

Rubbish data. No context. Nobody replying.

AI organises the data and catches the signals. Humans make the calls. No spray, no scripts, just the right message at the right moment.
