The employer hub is a one-stop resource library for HR & hiring managers. Here you will find articles and information on subjects such as salary benchmarking, interview process & presentation ideas, recruitment brand protection and much more.
Additionally there are some very basic sales & business development job descriptions which you are free to use should it give you a foundation to start from when putting together a brief for a new role.
Should you require more specialist help or specific guidance, please do get in contact with us. We’re more than happy to do whatever we can to help, even if you are not actively looking to use our services. We very much believe in supporting the market with advice as opposed to only helping employers with live roles.
Our experienced sales & business development focused recruitment team can offer guidance with any recruitment related query or concern, and if we cannot help we will be able to recommend somebody who can.
Sales/Business Development – Job Description Templates
Here’s a collection of some very general descriptions, for types of job you may be looking to recruit. You can download each in a simple editable word format. Each description gives a clear example of a basic layout along with some general information about the type of duties each role would require.
These are not perfect examples for you to go out to market with, but they can help as a starting point, and you can then add and edit elements to suit your position.
Hopefully they can save you some time or provide some inspiration to get the process of recruitment started.

Testimonials
‘Informative and dedicated’
Mike - Owner - Software Company
Recently we needed an agency to help us find a very specialist technical sales role, and I found Zero Surplus easily the best agency we worked with. They were informative and dedicated, and final after a long haul found us the exact person we needed. Their style of search based recruitment over just advertising, really set them apart from your average recruiter.
‘Helped stop us making a bad decision’
Monika - Sales Director - Insurance
I was recently looking to hire a new Sales Manager after I was left in the lurch, and abandoned by another agency. Zero Surplus and particularly Joby were very helpful. After talking with them about what I needed, I realised the role I was seeking perhaps wasn’t best suited to our needs, and as a result they helped stop us making a bad decision. We’ve now filled our role in a different format, and the results are speaking for themselves. I recommend Joby and the team for any sales recruitment.
‘I couldn’t recommend him and his company enough’
Eddie - Owner - E-commerce Business
We have recruited a number of roles through this great company now. Every time Joby has been on the ball, relaxed and determined to find the right person for us, not just pay the numbers games that recruiter so often play. I couldn’t recommend him and his company enough.
‘I found it easy to build a good working relationship with him from day one’
Shelley - Sales Director - SAAS Business
I found it easy to build a good working relationship with Joby from day one. He gives very open and honest assessment on roles we have given to him and his ability to source sales staff as well as feedback on the market place is second to none.
‘They have a tailored approach and delivered great results’
Chris - Partner - Media Company
I’ve used Joby successfully on a number of occasions for senior sales positions within my team, I found that he really took time to listen to what we wanted (and helped us find it) and rather than just bombard us with hundreds of speculative CVs, they have a a more tailored style and delivered great results. Also when it was needed they were not afraid to tell me where I had gone wrong previously and how to rectify it.. And it worked!
‘Have become our ‘go to’ recruiter’
Myra - Office Manager - Scientific Supplier
Zero Surplus have become our ‘go to’ recruiter. Always proactive and efficient, they make the effort to understand our agency and our people. The quality of their candidates really do stand out from the rest and they consistently find us absolute STARS who go on to flourish within our teams.
