Job description

Director of Sales / Outbound / B2B Sales Professional (Recruiting/Staffing & Executive Search)

Full-time / Onsite / Potential Relocation Assistance / Base + Commission

📍 Knoxville, TN - National Client Portfolio

About M Force Partners:

M Force Partners is a nationally ranked recruiting/staffing and executive search firm delivering contract, contract-to-hire, direct hire, and retained search solutions across multiple industries:

As an EOS-run organization, we operate through a proven delivery framework - The M Force Way - built around structured search execution, true client partnership, and high-quality hiring outcomes.

We are growing and adding a true business development sales professional who wants ownership of their accounts, strong recruiting support, and the ability to build long-term revenue, not just chase one-off deals.

The Role:

This is a full-cycle sales position focused on new business development and client growth.

You will generate opportunities, own relationships, and partner with our recruiting delivery team to execute successful searches.

This is not a transactional sales seat - you will operate as a talent advisor and account owner.

What You’ll Do:

Business Development

• Prospect and generate new clients (calls, meetings, networking, LinkedIn, events)
• Identify hiring needs and position M Force as the solution
• Secure contract, contract-to-hire, direct hire, and retained search agreements

Client Ownership

• Serve as primary contact for your accounts
• Build relationships with hiring leaders and executives
• Manage ongoing partnerships and retention

Search Leadership

• Lead intake calls and define search strategy
• Drive communication between client and recruiting team
• Guide interviews, feedback, and offer process

Account Growth

• Expand existing accounts and develop long‑term partnerships
• Identify upsell and cross‑sell opportunities
• Manage pipeline and revenue targets

What Success Looks Like:

• Consistent outbound activity
• New client acquisition
• Repeat business from existing accounts
• High fill rate through recruiter partnership
• Revenue growth and territory expansion

Qualifications:

• 2+ years recruiting/staffing sales or B2B sales experience (recruiting/staffing strongly preferred)
• Comfortable generating your own opportunities (hunter mentality)
• Strong relationship‑building and communication skills
• Ability to manage multiple searches and priorities
• CRM or sales tool experience (Tracker, LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter preferred)

Compensation & Schedule:

• Competitive base salary (weekly pay)
• Uncapped commission plan
• Bonus opportunities
• Unlimited Vacation
• Full‑time onsite

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Dedicated recruiting partnership (not doing everything alone)
• Ability to sell retained and direct hire – higher margin deals
• Long‑term account ownership
• A structured delivery model that improves fill rates
• Growth path into senior sales leadership

Apply:

If you want to build a long‑term career in staffing sales – not just another desk – we’d like to talk.
