Job description

Business Development Manager – Staffing Solutions

Location: CHICAGO (Downtown), IL

Work Arrangement: On-site

Employment Type: Full-Time, Direct Hire

Build Relationships. Win New Business. Grow Your Income.

We’re partnering with an established professional services and staffing organization that is looking for an experienced Business Development Manager to join its growing sales team.

This is a true hunter/farmer sales role for someone who enjoys opening doors, developing executive-level relationships, uncovering business needs, and turning those relationships into long-term accounts.

You’ll sell flexible workforce and staffing solutions to businesses across professional service environments, helping clients address hiring challenges with the right combination of temporary, contract, contract-to-hire, and direct placement resources.

What You’ll Do

• Develop new business through proactive outbound prospecting, networking, referrals, phone outreach, email, and face-to-face meetings.
• Identify companies with workforce and hiring needs and develop relationships with key decision-makers.
• Conduct discovery conversations to understand client challenges and recommend appropriate staffing solutions.
• Build and maintain a healthy sales pipeline while consistently working toward revenue and gross-profit goals.
• Develop new accounts while expanding relationships and opportunities within existing clients.
• Present solutions to hiring managers, department leaders, executives, and other business stakeholders.
• Partner with recruiting and delivery teams to ensure clients receive responsive, high-quality service.
• Maintain strong client relationships and position yourself as a trusted resource rather than simply a staffing vendor.
• Track sales activity, pipeline development, meetings, proposals, and closed business against established goals.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of successful B2B sales experience, preferably within staffing, recruiting, professional services, or another consultative services environment.
• A demonstrated history of meeting or exceeding sales goals.
• Experience with proactive prospecting and new-account development.
• Strong telephone, virtual, presentation, and interpersonal communication skills.
• Ability to confidently communicate with both hiring managers and senior-level executives.
• A persistent, resilient sales approach and the ability to remain motivated despite rejection.
• Strong relationship-building skills and a genuine interest in understanding customer needs.
• Bachelor’s degree preferred, but relevant professional experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.

Staffing Industry Experience Is a Plus

Candidates coming from staffing, recruiting, executive search, professional services, financial services, or other consultative B2B sales environments are encouraged to apply.

If you understand how to prospect, open new accounts, develop relationships, and sell solutions—not just products—you may be a strong fit.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• 10% uncapped commission
• Significant earning potential as your book of business grows
• Established organization with multiple service capabilities
• Opportunity to work with a broad range of businesses and decision-makers
• Strong platform for an experienced salesperson who wants to build a substantial client portfolio
• Potential for total compensation to grow significantly beyond the base salary
