Job description

Sales Executive → Executive Recruiter

Tampa, FL | Full-Time | Base + Uncapped Commission

What if your next sales job wasn't selling software... but changing people's careers?

At Strive, we partner with some of the fastest-growing AI, cybersecurity and software companies in the world.

Our clients are backed by Sequoia, Insight Partners, CRV, Founders Fund, a16z and many of the world's leading venture capital firms. They're building the companies you'll be reading about in five years—and we help them hire the people who make that happen.

We're not looking for experienced recruiters.

We're looking for ambitious salespeople.

If you've spent a year or more in sales, whether that's SaaS, SDR, BDR, retail, hospitality, recruitment, automotive or another target-driven environment—you've already learned the hardest part:

• Picking up the phone.
• Handling rejection.
• Building relationships.
• Creating opportunities.
• Having the resilience to keep going.

We'll teach you everything else.

What you'll do

• Become an expert in the venture-backed technology market.
• Build relationships with founders, VCs and senior executives.
• Identify and headhunt exceptional talent.
• Manage searches from first conversation through to offer.
• Build your own market and personal brand.
• Earn uncapped commission with no ceiling on what you can make.

What we're looking for

• At least 1 year in a sales or target-driven role.
• Competitive and naturally driven.
• Strong communication skills.
• Someone who wants to build a career, not just have another job.
• A genuine desire to earn well and continuously improve.

Why Strive?

This isn't a boiler-room recruitment agency.

We're a specialist executive search firm partnering with venture backed technology companies across AI, cybersecurity, developer tools and enterprise software.

You’ll receive:

• Industry-leading training and mentoring.
• Access to some of the best founders and investors in tech.
• Clear progression based on performance—not time served.
• Uncapped commission.
• International incentive trips.
• A high-performance team that genuinely celebrates success.
• The opportunity to build something special as we continue to grow in the US.

Who succeeds here?

The people who do best at Strive aren't necessarily experienced recruiters.

They're competitive.

They hate losing.

They enjoy building relationships.

They work hard.

They want to be rewarded for it.

If you're the sort of person who wants to look back in five years and say, "That was the career move that changed everything," we'd love to speak with you.
