Job description

Atlas Global Talent is growing, and we’re looking for an experienced 1099 Recruitment Business Development Consultant based in the USA to work with us on a fully remote, commission-only basis.

This is a pure business development role focused on building relationships with companies, identifying recruitment opportunities and bringing new clients and vacancies into Atlas Global Talent.

No candidate sourcing. No headhunting. No recruitment delivery.

You focus on opening doors, developing relationships and generating recruitment business. Our recruitment team handles the candidate side.

The Opportunity

This is a 1099 independent contractor position offering complete flexibility over when, where and how much you work.

There are no fixed working hours.

Work 10 hours one week and 40 the next. Build the opportunity around another commitment or treat it as a full-time business development role.

You work to your own ability, schedule and pace.

There’s no fixed salary or guaranteed income. This is a performance-based opportunity where your earning potential is directly connected to the recruitment business you generate.

You bring in the opportunities.

We deliver the recruitment.

What You'll Be Doing

Your focus will be developing new recruitment clients and generating vacancies for Atlas Global Talent.

This can include:

• Identifying companies with current or future hiring requirements
• Researching potential clients and target markets
• Identifying hiring managers and senior decision-makers
• Approaching prospective clients
• Making outbound calls and introductions
• Using LinkedIn, email and other channels to develop relationships
• Understanding a company's recruitment challenges
• Introducing Atlas Global Talent and our recruitment services
• Securing recruitment opportunities and live vacancies
• Helping establish recruitment terms with new clients
• Taking initial job briefs and understanding hiring requirements
• Developing long-term relationships with hiring companies
• Identifying additional opportunities within existing accounts
• Maintaining accurate business development activity in our CRM
• Working with our recruitment consultants to successfully hand over new vacancies

Once you've generated the opportunity, our recruitment team can take responsibility for sourcing, headhunting, screening and managing candidates through the recruitment process.

Generate Business. Build Relationships. Earn Commission.

This is a straightforward performance-driven opportunity.

You’ll earn commission from successful recruitment business you introduce to Atlas Global Talent.

Rather than being responsible for finding and managing candidates yourself, your role is focused on what you do best:

Finding companies. Starting conversations. Building relationships. Creating opportunities.

When those relationships turn into successful placements, you earn.

There are no earning caps.

Build one productive client relationship or build an entire portfolio of accounts. How far you take the opportunity is ultimately up to you.

Build Your Own Client Portfolio

We want this to be more than simply working through a predetermined call list.

You’ll have the freedom to identify markets, companies and opportunities you believe are worth pursuing.

If you identify a logistics company that's growing, approach them.

If you discover a brokerage opening another office, start the conversation.

If you’ve built relationships with hiring managers during your career, reconnect with them.

If you spot a business consistently advertising vacancies, find out whether Atlas can help.

The objective is to develop genuine, long-term recruitment relationships rather than simply chasing individual vacancies.

The stronger the client portfolio you build, the greater the opportunity becomes.

Full Tech Stack Included

You're welcome to use your own business development setup if you already have tools and systems you prefer.

Alternatively, Atlas Global Talent can provide access to our technology stack at no additional cost to you.

This includes:

• ChatGPT
• Claude
• JobAdder CRM
• Microsoft 365
• ZoomInfo
• Zoom Meetings & Phone
• AI NoteTaker
• Our fully customised, in-house AI-focused recruitment technology stack

We've invested heavily in developing our own AI-powered recruitment and business development infrastructure.

Our technology can help with company research, identifying decision-makers, market intelligence, prospecting, CRM management and reducing much of the repetitive background work involved in business development.

The technology is there to help you work smarter.

It doesn't dictate how you work.

Our Market

Atlas Global Talent specialises in recruitment across the logistics, transportation and supply chain industry, with a particularly strong focus on the United States.

Our recruitment activity includes areas such as:

• Freight brokerage and 3PL
• Domestic transportation
• International freight forwarding
• Trucking and transportation
• Freight agent programmes
• Supply chain and logistics
• Sales and business development
• Carrier sales
• Account management
• Operations
• Management and leadership
• Executive and C-Suite recruitment

You’ll therefore have a clearly defined market to target while still having considerable freedom over the companies and opportunities you choose to develop.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for commercially minded people who are confident starting conversations and developing professional relationships.

Previous recruitment business development experience would be highly valuable, but we're also interested in people with strong B2B sales experience within logistics, transportation, freight brokerage or related industries.

We're particularly interested in people who:

• Are confident approaching new businesses
• Can communicate effectively with hiring managers and senior decision-makers
• Understand consultative B2B sales
• Know how to build relationships rather than simply make cold calls
• Can identify genuine commercial opportunities
• Are comfortable using phone, email and LinkedIn for business development
• Can manage their own pipeline
• Are organised and capable of following opportunities through
• Can work independently without constant supervision
• Are motivated by performance and commission
• Want flexibility rather than a traditional 9-to-5 structure
• Understand that their earning potential is directly connected to the business they generate

Experience within recruitment, logistics, transportation, freight brokerage, supply chain or B2B sales would be particularly beneficial.

You Don't Need to Be a Recruiter

If your strength is opening doors and developing business rather than sourcing candidates, that's absolutely fine.

You don't need to spend your day searching LinkedIn for candidates, conducting screening calls or coordinating interviews.

That's what our recruitment team is there for.

Your responsibility is to build the client relationship, understand where we can help and create the opportunity.

This makes the position particularly suited to experienced recruitment business developers, logistics sales professionals, former recruiters, industry consultants or well-connected logistics professionals who enjoy the commercial side of recruitment.

Complete Flexibility

We're not interested in measuring success by how many hours you're logged into a system or how many calls appear on a report.

This opportunity is built around autonomy, relationships and results.

You’ll have the Atlas Global Talent brand, recruitment delivery capability, technology and infrastructure behind you.

You concentrate on developing the business.

Our recruiters concentrate on delivering it.
