Sam Wilkinson

  • Position: New Sales & Business Director

​What is your role at Metalis?

Since the launch of Metalis, I played a key role in 360 recruitment, establishing relationships with both skilled candidates and local businesses. Over time, my role has evolved significantly. Today, I focus primarily on collaborating with recruitment managers, identifying new business and sales opportunities, and leading recruitment and sales training for our teams.

I am constantly exploring strategies for growth and expansion. Currently, my efforts are centered around supporting and driving the success of our contract recruitment desk, working closely with Jake, our Head of Sales.

What did you do before you worked at Metalis?

I sold job advertisement packages and applicant tracking software to companies. Although these packages enabled businesses to advertise their vacancies across all major UK job boards, we often found that many struggled to make successful hires through this approach. In my view, partnering with a recruitment agency remains the most effective method for filling open positions.

What do you enjoy the most about your job?

I enjoy the business development side of recruitment - identifying sales and growth opportunities that drive our company’s expansion. Additionally, I find it incredibly rewarding to witness recruiters develop their skills and abilities. Seeing people thrive both professionally and financially brings me a great sense of satisfaction.

What do you like to do outside of work?

Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with close friends and loved ones. I'm passionate about sports and fitness, playing 7-a-side football midweek and 11-a-side on Sundays.

I'm also a Sheffield Wednesday fan, though it’s been tough over the past few seasons! As a competitive person, I really enjoy social activities like pool, shuffleboard, table tennis, electronic darts, and bowling.

I love a holiday, and my favorite place is relaxing on a Greek island, sipping a Mythos from an iced glass!
