New Business Sales Trainee (Recruitment) – Zurich

ppstrongWho we are /strong /ppTalentCloud Group is a Swiss-founded recruitment partner working with growth-focused companies across Switzerland and internationally. /ppWe've built our reputation placing high-quality permanent talent in IT and commercial functions, but we're now expanding into contract / interim hiring, where speed, trust, and real problem-solving matter more than process. /ppThis is where you come in. /ppstrongNo prior recruitment or sales experience required. /strong /ppstrongThe role (what makes this different) /strong /ppThis is not a sit back and follow a script sales role. /ppYou'll learn how to operate in two very different worlds: /pulliHR / Talent teams structured, process-driven, expect polished communication /liliLine managers under pressure, need solutions now, respond to authenticity and insight /li /ulpYour job is to become a sales chameleon - knowing how to read the room, adapt your approach, and uncover what's really going on beneath the surface. /ppIn contract recruitment, you're not selling CVs. You're solving urgent, real-world problems /ppstrongWhat you'll be doing /strong /pulliReaching out to companies and starting conversations (phone, LinkedIn, email) /liliLearning how to speak differently to HR vs. line managers /liliIdentifying real hiring needs (burning platform situations) /liliSupporting delivery of both permanent and contract recruitment projects /liliBuilding relationships with clients over time — not just one-off transactions /liliWorking closely with the TalentCloud team to learn the craft properly /liliGradually owning your own clients and revenue /li /ulpstrongWho this is for /strong /ppWe are not looking for a finished product.brWe are deliberately looking for someone early in their career — or even at the very start. /ppSomeone who: /pulliIs curious, coachable, and willing to give it a go /liliCommunicates confidently in German and English /liliIs comfortable picking up the phone and speaking to new people /liliWants to learn how business actually works (not just theory) /liliIs motivated by progress, not perfection /liliEnjoys being part of a small, growing team where they can make an impact /li /ulpIn fact — we prefer you don't have it. /ppWe value the innocence of inexperience: people who are open, adaptable, and not stuck in old habits. /ppstrongWhat you'll learn /strong /pulliHow to build real client relationships (not just sell) /liliHow hiring decisions are actually made inside companies /liliHow to identify commercial opportunities early /liliHow to operate in both Swiss and international markets /liliHow to develop into a full 360 recruiter or business developer /li /ulpThere is also longer-term potential to move into international hiring, including exposure to the US market. /ppstrongWhat we offer /strong /pulliHands-on training in both sales and recruitment /liliA direct learning environment — close to the founders and decision-makers /liliFast progression based on performance (not tenure) /liliA supportive but high-expectation culture /liliCompetitive base salary + commission /liliReal responsibility early on /li /ulpstrongWhy join now /strong /ppWe're at a point where the business is evolving, and you'll be part of building the next phase, not just maintaining the current one.
