Client Intake and Search Management

• Conduct detailed client capture meetings to understand the position, business need, required qualifications, desired outcomes, compensation, work environment, interview process, and hiring timeline.
• Evaluate job orders for strategic fit, fillability, compensation competitiveness, client commitment, profitability, and likelihood of a successful placement.
• Develop and manage the search strategy, including the position profile, job posting, screening criteria, scorecard, sourcing plan, ATS documentation, and ongoing client communication.

• Assess candidate qualifications, accomplishments, career goals, employment situation, compensation expectations, location, availability, motivation, and overall alignment with the position and client.

Candidate Presentation and Interview Coordination

• Present qualified candidates to clients with an accurate resume and professional summary of their experience, accomplishments, motivation, availability, compensation expectations, and overall fit.
• Coordinate and prepare clients and candidates for telephone, video, and in-person interviews; promptly gather feedback and address concerns after each interview.
• Maintain consistent communication with all parties and accurately document submissions, interviews, feedback, and next steps in the ATS.

Offer, Placement, and Follow-Up

• Guide clients and candidates through compensation discussions, competing offers, counteroffers, resignation timing, start-date coordination, and other offer-related matters.
• Coordinate approved pre-employment screening, onboarding requirements, offer acceptance, and placement details with the candidate, client, Human Resources, and appropriate internal departments.
• Follow up with the client and placed candidate after the start date to support placement success, resolve concerns, and monitor applicable guarantee periods.

Performance and Accountability

• Achieve established individual direct-hire production, gross-profit, business-development, job-order, activity, and quality goals.
• Maintain sufficient prospecting activity, client opportunities, active job orders, search activity, and candidate pipeline to consistently meet performance expectations.
• Maintain complete and timely ATS or CRM records, participate in performance and pipeline meetings, and develop knowledge of assigned industries, occupations, compensation trends, and market conditions.

Job Qualifications

• Two or more years of experience in recruiting, consultative sales, account management, professional services, customer service, or another high-touch, performance-driven environment.
• Demonstrated ability or willingness to prospect for clients, conduct outbound outreach, build professional relationships, uncover hiring needs, communicate value, respond to objections, and ask for business.
• Strong communication, interviewing, organization, follow-up, negotiation, relationship-management, technology, and multitasking skills, with demonstrated initiative and accountability for measurable results.
