Grow our footprint in South & West Auckland
Transport | Warehousing | Distribution | Manufacturing

Bring your industry relationships. We’ll give you the recruitment engine.
Kinetic Recruitment is growing, and we’re looking for a commercially driven Business Development Manager to build and convert new business across transport, warehousing, distribution and manufacturing in South and West Auckland.
This opportunity is ideal for:

• Experienced recruitment BDMs, or
• Sales professionals currently working within warehousing, logistics, transport or manufacturing organisations who know the market, the pressures, and the decision‑makers.

You’ll be backed by the proven capability, infrastructure and delivery strength of Kinetic Recruitment and the HOBAN Recruitment Group, one of Australasia’s most established workforce solutions providers.
 
The Role:

• Build and deepen relationships with employers across logistics, FMCG, transport and manufacturing
• Convert new business through consultative, solution‑based conversations
• Position Kinetic as a trusted workforce partner, not just a recruiter
• Leverage HOBAN Group’s proven recruitment, labour hire and compliance capability to win and retain clients
• Work closely with delivery teams to ensure what you sell is delivered — consistently

This is a recruitment relationship‑led sales role.

Why This Role Appeals to Industry Sales Professionals
If you’re currently selling products or services into warehousing, logistics or manufacturing, this role lets you:

• Capitalise on your existing networks and industry knowledge
• Move into recruitment with strong backend support and credibility
• Sell solutions to real operational challenges, not one‑off transactions
• Be part of a business where delivery and reputation genuinely matter

 
What you'll bring:

• BDM or sales experience in recruitment, labour hire, logistics, warehousing or manufacturing
• Strong knowledge of South Auckland industry networks
• Confidence engaging operations leaders, site managers and decision‑makers
• A commercial, solutions‑focused mindset
• Drive, resilience and professional follow‑through

Recruitment experience is advantageous — but not essential. Industry credibility and relationship‑building capability are just as important.
 
What’s On Offer:

• Competitive base salary + uncapped commission
• Strong operational and delivery support
• Opportunity to build a quality, sustainable client portfolio
• Career progression as Kinetic continues to grow
• A values‑driven, commercially serious organisation

Why Kinetic (and HOBAN Group)?

• Backing of a respected trans‑Tasman recruitment group
• Established delivery capability in labour hire and permanent recruitment
• Proven systems, compliance frameworks and workforce databases
• Ability to support complex, volume and time‑critical environments
• A brand focused on long‑term partnerships, not short‑term wins

You’ll be selling with confidence — knowing the business can actually deliver. 

If you understand how warehousing, transport and manufacturing really work and want to help clients solve workforce challenges, we’d love to talk.
