Hire the BDM Who
Grows Your Agency Revenue
We place elite Business Development Managers exclusively for recruitment and marketing agencies — using a proven 9-step process that cuts mis-hires and gets the right person through your door in 45 days.
Most BDM Hires Fail Before They Start
Agency owners waste months and thousands on BDMs who never perform. Here's exactly why.
Generic recruiters don't know agencies
They send CV stacks, not pre-qualified people who understand billing culture and BD dynamics.
A bad hire costs 3–6 months salary
Plus lost pipeline. Most agencies learn this lesson exactly once — the hard way.
Top BDMs aren't on job boards
The best performers are happily employed. You need the right network to reach them.
Founders can't run hiring and the agency
Doing it properly is a full-time job. Something always gets cut — usually the screening that matters.
Cultural fit can't be seen on a CV
A BDM who crushed it at a £5M agency may fail completely at yours. We assess this first.
Most recruiters vanish after placement
We stay through the first 90 days — because that's exactly where hires succeed or fail.
Our Proven 9-Step Hiring Process
No shortcuts. No guesswork. Every placement follows the same methodology — which is how we maintain a 93% success rate.
Start the ProcessDiscovery Brief
Deep-dive on your agency model, culture, revenue targets, and the BDM profile that will genuinely succeed.
Role Architecture
We write a spec that attracts the right candidates — not just anyone looking for a BD job.
Market Mapping
Active search across UK and US networks — including passive candidates invisible on job boards.
Competency Screening
Multi-stage screening across BD methodology, agency knowledge, performance history, and cultural fit.
Performance Assessment
Structured review of revenue track record, pipeline management, and new business capability.
Shortlist Presentation
3–5 fully vetted candidates with briefing notes — not a CV stack for you to filter.
Interview Support
Interview design, question frameworks, and post-stage debriefs to guide your decision.
Offer Management
Salary benchmarking, counter-offer handling, contract management through to signed offer.
90-Day Onboarding Check
We stay for 90 days post-placement — where most recruiters disappear and hires fail.
Built for Agency Leaders Only
We don't work with every business. Two markets. Deep expertise. Not broad and shallow.
Recruitment Agencies
From boutique specialists to multi-desk operations — BDMs who understand billing culture, account management, and how to open clients in competitive staffing markets.
Marketing Agencies
From digital and creative to PR and integrated shops — BDMs who can position your services, build pipeline, and close high-value retainers in a crowded market.
What Makes Us Different
Sector Exclusive
Only BDMs. One role. Depth you can't get from a generalist.
Dual Market
Active networks in both markets — sole specialist with dual coverage.
Post-Placement
90-day check-ins after every placement. We don't disappear.
Vetted Shortlist
Pre-screened candidates with briefing notes. No CV pile-ons.
What Agency Leaders Say
"We'd tried twice internally — both failed inside 6 months. Sameera placed someone who hit target in month two. More rigorous than anything we'd done ourselves."
"Three candidates, all strong, all right for the role. We hired in 3 weeks. This is what specialist recruitment actually looks like — I'd never go back to a generalist."
"The BDM they placed brought in three enterprise accounts in the first quarter. We're already planning our next hire through Strategic BDM — genuinely changed our growth."
