Where to find and apply safely
Apply only through the original CareerJunction advert, using the Apply button on this page, which links directly to the original listing from The Talent Experts. Do not pay anyone for a job offer, and be wary of anyone asking for fees, banking details or personal documents outside the official application route.
Practical tips
Show a pipeline you built and closed, not just a list of clients: name the target accounts you identified, how you qualified commercial fit, and the signed engagements that followed. Because the role prizes quality over volume, give one example of a complex problem you understood deeply and turned into a practical, signed solution, and make your CRM discipline easy to spot.
How the process works
Applications go through the original CareerJunction advert, where the recruiter reviews submissions against the stated requirements. The advert notes that the recruiter responds to everyone, so allow a few days for applications to be worked through.
