YourShortlist Glasgow Jobs: Synlata Hiring 30 Sales Staff

YourShortlist Glasgow jobs are open to newcomers: parent company Synlata Group has launched a drive to hire up to 30 extra staff before Christmas 2026, and it says you do not need a technology background. The roles are in outbound sales and lead generation for tech clients. You can apply straight to the company by sending a CV through Pursuit Marketing's Current Roles page or by registering on the YourShortlist careers page.

Who is Synlata Group and why is it hiring?

Deadline News reported on 12 November 2026 that the Glasgow firm is growing after a strong run of business. Through its two brands it supplies outsourced sales development and lead generation to clients in the UK and abroad.

Chief executive Brian Williamson said the group wants confident communicators who enjoy talking to people. He stressed that years of technical knowledge are not expected, and that some of its best performers arrived from unrelated trades. The report gives two examples: a former personal trainer who became a Sales Development Representative and then moved into a senior post, and a recruit who came from a family vehicle repair business.

What will the job involve?

New hires contact businesses on behalf of technology clients, find out what they need and set up sales conversations. Deadline News says starters receive training in technology markets, corporate sales techniques and customer engagement before they take on the role fully.

Pay has not been made public. One employee quoted in the report said earning potential drew him in, citing a solid salary with uncapped bonuses and extra rewards for strong results. Ask for the basic salary and realistic bonus figures at interview, since bonus pay depends on performance.

How to apply — step by step

1. Start on the company's own website. Visit Pursuit Marketing's Current Roles page. It says the firm is always keen to hear from motivated people for its Glasgow and Derby teams.
2. Press "Apply Now". The button opens an email to the company's recruitment inbox with the subject line already filled in. Attach your CV and say you are applying for Glasgow.
3. Or use the YourShortlist route. The YourShortlist careers page has a short form asking for your name, email and mobile number.
4. Record a short clip. YourShortlist asks applicants to email a 30-second video or audio answer to one question: "Why should we hire you?" The address is shown on its careers page.
5. Wait for the recruitment team. The page says staff will be in touch to confirm next steps. No closing date is given, but the firm wants people in place before Christmas, so apply this week.

A note on timing: the YourShortlist page was still headed with a recruitment night held in Glasgow on Tuesday 10 November when we checked. That event has passed, but the form was still live.

Do I need a recruiter?

No. Both routes above go directly to the employer and are free. You should never pay for an interview, a "training place" or a job offer. If you are unsure whether a message is genuine, phone the Glasgow office on the number listed on the company's own website.

Tips that raise your chances

• Nail the 30-second clip. Give one clear reason, one example and finish on time. Good sound matters more than fancy video.
• Translate your experience. Retail, hospitality, call centre, fitness and trade work all involve persuading and listening. Say so plainly, as the firm values transferable skills.
• Show resilience. Outbound sales means hearing "no" often. Mention a target you kept chasing.
• Research the brands. Know in one sentence what YourShortlist and Pursuit Marketing each do.
• Common mistake: a CV with no numbers. Add figures such as sales, customers served per shift or targets met.

What it means for job seekers

• This is a genuine entry point into tech sales for people changing career, with training included.
• Hiring is quick, with the firm wanting people in before the Christmas period, so speed counts.
• Income will vary with performance; plan your budget on the basic salary.
• Sponsorship is not mentioned in the report, so assume UK right to work is needed.
• Applying does not guarantee an offer. Clear communication is the skill being tested from the first email.
