Mintskill HR Solutions LLP is an HR Advisory, Executive Search, Talent Solutions, and Zoho Implementation Consulting organization helping businesses build high-performing teams and improve HR and business processes.
We work with organizations across Manufacturing, Infrastructure, BFSI, Consumer, Energy, Technology, Engineering, and emerging industries, partnering with Founders, CXOs, HR leaders, and business heads on talent, organizational, and technology-related challenges.
This role provides exposure to the commercial side of consulting—how organizations are researched, prospects are identified, business problems are understood, and client relationships are developed.
As a Business Development Consultant – New Client Acquisition, you will be responsible for creating new business opportunities for Mintskill across Executive Search, HR Advisory, Talent Solutions, and Zoho/digital transformation services.
You will identify organizations with relevant business or hiring requirements, research the right decision-makers, initiate professional conversations through LinkedIn, email, and telephone, qualify opportunities, and coordinate meetings with Mintskill's leadership and consulting teams.
This is a performance-driven OJT program, where you will work on real markets, real organizations, and real business opportunities. Candidates demonstrating strong performance, ownership, and client-facing capability will have the opportunity to transition into a full-time Business Development role.
Your role will cover the complete early-stage business development cycle:
Market Research → Prospect Identification → Decision-Maker Mapping → Outreach → Lead Qualification → Follow-up → Meeting Generation → CRM & Pipeline Management
You will research target organizations and industries, identify Founders, CXOs, HR Heads, Talent Acquisition leaders, and other relevant stakeholders, and initiate targeted outreach. You will also support client presentations, proposals, and meeting preparation while maintaining accurate records of prospects, conversations, follow-ups, and opportunities.
An important part of the role is developing market intelligence—understanding hiring trends, organizational expansion, leadership movements, and other business signals that may indicate an opportunity for Mintskill.
Requirements
We are looking for graduates, postgraduates, and final-year students from MBA/PGDM, BBA, BMS, Commerce, Engineering, or other management-related programs with excellent command of English communication skills who can commit to full-time OJT.
The ideal candidate is commercially curious, articulate, comfortable with research and professional communication, willing to make calls, and capable of working independently against measurable goals. Familiarity with LinkedIn, email, Excel/Google Sheets, CRM systems, or B2B sales is useful, but prior sales experience is not mandatory.
What matters most is your communication, learning ability, discipline, persistence, and willingness to take ownership.
This is an activity-and-outcome-driven role. Initial weekly benchmarks are designed to develop disciplined prospecting habits:
Indicative Weekly Benchmark
Companies researched
40–50
Decision-makers identified
15–20
LinkedIn / Email outreach
25–30
Business development calls
10–15
Weekly reporting
100%
As capability develops, greater emphasis will be placed on quality of prospects, meaningful conversations, qualified opportunities and meetings, rather than activity volume alone.
500+ companies researched | 200+ decision-makers identified | 100+ outreach conversations | 15–20 qualified opportunities | 5–10 client meetings
A qualified opportunity means a prospect where a relevant requirement has been identified, an appropriate decision-maker has been engaged and there is a reasonable basis for a business discussion.
During the initial phase, success means becoming disciplined in research, prospecting, communication, and CRM management.
As you progress, success means consistently generating relevant prospects, engaging decision-makers, understanding their requirements and creating qualified meetings for the consulting team.
At the next level, you should be capable of independently taking an organization from research → outreach → conversation → qualification → meeting.
In other words, the goal is not simply to make calls or send messages. The goal is to learn how to create business.
The role provides practical exposure to B2B business development, market intelligence, executive search, HR consulting, client acquisition, proposal development, CRM, and technology consulting.
You will learn how consulting firms identify business opportunities, how CXO-level relationships are developed, how client requirements are diagnosed, and how an initial business conversation can ultimately become a consulting engagement.
You will also gain exposure to Mintskill's Zoho and digital transformation practice, giving you an understanding of how HR and business consulting increasingly intersect with technology and automation.
The OJT period is designed as a potential pathway into a long-term career with Mintskill.
Business Development On-the-Job Training → Business Development Consultant → Senior Consultant → Business Development Manager → Business Development / Consulting Leadership
Progression will depend on performance, capability, ownership and business requirements.
The role can be particularly valuable for candidates interested in building careers in B2B Sales, Consulting, Executive Search, HR Technology, SaaS, Talent Solutions or Business Transformation.
Benefits Why Join Mintskill?
Unlike a conventional entry-level sales role where you may sell a single product, this role exposes you to multiple dimensions of business:
People | Leadership | HR | Talent | Technology | Automation | Business Growth
You will work on real business opportunities and gradually move from executing assigned activities to understanding markets, engaging senior stakeholders, and owning parts of the client acquisition process.
If you are looking for a role where you can learn business development by actually doing it, build professional relationships with senior decision-makers, and develop a foundation for a career in consulting and client acquisition, this opportunity is designed for that purpose.
