Job description

Motiv8 Advisors is seeking a Business Development Recruiter to lead end-to-end recruiting for independent financial advisors, guiding prospects from the initial conversation through signed agreements and onboarding. This hybrid role is based in Port Saint Lucie, Florida, and emphasizes consultative fit, pipeline ownership, and sustained advisor success.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the advisor recruiting process from the first meeting through signed and onboarded outcomes, whether a setter booked the meeting or you sourced the advisor directly.
• Source additional advisors beyond setter meetings to grow your book, with compensation tied to the advisors you onboard and their production.
• Lead consultative fit calls by diagnosing each advisor’s business, demonstrating real return on investment, and presenting the Motiv8 case using proof rather than hype.
• Address challenging objections, including compensation, transition risk, and scenarios where an advisor is satisfied with their current setup, across decisions that may take weeks.
• Perform consistent follow-up, recognizing that advisors often do not agree on the first call.
• Grow and retain your book over time, since your income is earned on advisors’ production.
• Generate referrals from the advisors you convert.
• Maintain accurate pipeline visibility and performance metrics, and report to the Director of Growth and Advisor Relations.

Requirements

• A hunter and closer mindset, including the ability to find additional prospects when given limited starting inputs.
• Ability to run high-trust, consultative sales with experienced professionals in financial services.
• Capability to manage multi week deal cycles without allowing opportunities to cool.
• Interest in uncapped, ownership-style income supported by sustained effort.

Compensation

• Salary: USD 50,000 - 150,000 per year
• Base plus performance: Base salary plus uncapped performance-based pay tied to advisors onboarded and the production they generate
• Ongoing earnings: Earnings on your book as long as your advisors continue producing
