Job description

Overview

When it comes to Professional Recruiting, think next‑level Recruiting and a different take on inside sales. Professional Recruiters are experts in their craft, focused on job seekers and our consultants. Their job is to identify top talent, then work to pair those candidates with the perfect job. They get to know the experiences and career aspirations of each job seeker to match clients to consultants. Once the placement is made, our Professional Recruiters continue to work closely with each consultant guaranteeing a world‑class experience and offering continued support throughout their careers. Our Professional Recruiters accounted for over 80% of our job placements last year.
