Job Description

Have you recently graduated or are you looking to change direction? Are you competitive, ambitious and genuinely excited by sales, business development and building relationships?

 

Our Commercial Traineeship is designed for people who want to build a successful career in a performance driven environment. You do not need previous recruitment experience, but you do need a strong commercial mindset, confidence speaking with people and the motivation to develop into a successful salesperson.

 

At Amoria Bond, you will learn how to build and manage your own full cycle recruitment business. From winning new clients and developing accounts to negotiating deals and connecting companies with specialist talent, you will develop practical skills in sales, business development, account management, negotiation and consultancy.

 

About Amoria Bond

Amoria Bond is an international recruitment consultancy specialising in Advanced Engineering and Technology. From our Amsterdam office, we work with companies and highly skilled professionals across international markets with the focus on DACH and BENELUX.

We are looking for commercially driven people who want responsibility early in their career, enjoy working towards clear targets and are motivated by progression and earning potential.

 

What awaits you

  • Structured training: Start with a comprehensive 2 month onboarding programme combining training from our internal Learning & Development team, our online academy and hands on coaching from experienced consultants, managers and directors.
  • Uncapped earning potential: Your performance directly influences what you earn through our uncapped commission structure, alongside additional performance based incentives.
  • Clear career progression: Our structured 10 step career plan gives you transparent targets and milestones for progression, with the opportunity to develop towards senior and leadership positions.
  • Responsibility from an early stage: You will not spend years waiting to take ownership. As your skills develop, you will build your own client base, candidate network and specialist market.
  • International and social culture: Join an international Amsterdam team with regular activities including team lunches and dinners, potluck nights, cinema evenings, Pilates and jeu de boules.
  • Time off: Enjoy 25 vacation days, additional time off between Christmas and New Year, plus an additional vacation day for every year you work with us.
  • Company trips and incentives: Strong performance is rewarded. Previous company trips have included Porto, Dubai and Barcelona, alongside other performance based incentives such as our car target.
  • Development and benefits: Receive a company laptop, a EUR 500 annual personal training budget, access to our Book Club, monthly yoga sessions and ongoing professional development.

 

What will you actually do?

As a 360 Recruitment Consultant, you will build your own business within Amoria Bond. You will be responsible for developing relationships with companies, identifying commercial opportunities and connecting clients with the specialist professionals they need.

  • Business Development & Sales: Identify potential clients, contact decision makers, understand their business challenges and convert opportunities into new business.
  • Account Management: Build long term relationships with clients, grow existing accounts and become a trusted commercial partner.
  • Consultancy: Understand your clients' markets and hiring challenges and advise them on talent, availability and recruitment strategy.
  • Candidate Sourcing & Relationship Management: Identify and engage specialist professionals, understand their career goals and introduce them to relevant opportunities.
  • Negotiation & Closing: Negotiate commercial terms, offers and agreements and bring deals successfully across the line.
  • Ownership: Manage your own pipeline, targets and market while continuously looking for opportunities to grow your business.

 

What you bring

This is an entry level opportunity, but it is not for everyone. Recruitment is a commercial sales career, and we are looking for people who are genuinely motivated by that environment.

  • Commercial drive: You are genuinely interested in sales, business development and building a commercially successful career.
  • Ambition: You want to progress, take on responsibility and be rewarded for strong performance.
  • Resilience: You are comfortable with targets, competition, setbacks and continuously challenging yourself.
  • Communication: You enjoy speaking with new people, asking questions, influencing others and building relationships.
  • Results orientation: You like measurable goals and are motivated by achieving and exceeding targets.
  • Experience: Previous sales experience is not required. Experience in hospitality, customer service, recruitment, entrepreneurship or another fast paced and performance focused environment can be advantageous.
  • Language requirement: C1/C2-level German and English OR C1/C2-level Dutch and English is a requirement for this position. An exception may be considered if you bring a minimum of two years of full-time B2B sales or agency recruitment experience.
  • Location: You are settled in or around Amsterdam and intend to build your career in the Netherlands.

 

Who tends to thrive here?

You might be a strong fit if you naturally take initiative, enjoy competition, worked alongside your studies, have an entrepreneurial mindset or simply know that you want a career where your results have a direct impact on your progression and earnings.

 

Your degree subject matters less to us than your mindset. We are looking for people who are hungry to learn, comfortable taking initiative and excited by the idea of building something of their own.
