Job description

Entry-Level Sales- Recruiter/Account Manager

Join to apply for the Entry-Level Sales- Recruiter/Account Manager role at Insight Global. Looking for a career in sales? Insight Global is one of the world’s largest staffing firms. We make hiring easy for our clients and have grown from a small startup in 2001 to over $4 billion in revenue. Our growth is driven by award‑winning culture, comprehensive training programs, and a focus on hiring elite entry‑level sales candidates who grow within the company. Each employee starts as a Recruiter before earning a promotion to Account Management. As an entry‑level Recruiter, you’ll be supported by a team of mentors who will show you the ropes and guide you every step of the way. From day one you’ll be immersed in The IG Way, a cutting‑edge training program designed to teach how we operate and accelerate your sales career.

Recruiter

The purpose of the Recruiter role is to build the foundation for a successful sales career at Insight Global. You’ll learn about staffing and our services and how to sell them to clients. You’ll act as a matchmaker for companies and candidates by reviewing resumes from our internal database and online job boards, conducting phone interviews, preparing candidates for hiring managers, and negotiating job offers to get them hired. The average employee spends about six months in this role before enrolling into either Account Manager Training (AMT) or Professional Recruiter Training (PRT). During the next 8–12 weeks you’ll work to earn your promotion by applying the skills and knowledge you learned to real‑world scenarios with your future clients.

Account Manager

Account Managers are the face of our organization. They work directly with hiring managers at Fortune 1,000 companies by researching and targeting organizations in need of staffing services. They make initial connections through networking and cold calls, becoming valuable business consultants and building long‑term relationships. Account Managers run in‑person meetings and lunches to understand hiring goals, team dynamics, and sell how our services can elevate their business. They then gather job requirements and work hand‑in‑hand with our Recruiting team to find the perfect candidates to fill each role. Account Managers do not sell a product; they sell staffing and are experts in all things hiring.

Professional Recruiter

Professional Recruiters are experts in their craft, focused on job seekers and our consultants. Their job is to identify top talent, then pair those candidates with the perfect job. They learn the experiences and career aspirations of each job seeker to match clients to consultants. Once the placement is made, our Professional Recruiters continue to work closely with each consultant, guaranteeing a world‑class experience and offering continued support throughout their careers. Our Professional Recruiters accounted for over 80 % of our job placements last year.

Who we hire

• We’re focused on hiring the best talent, regardless of major, school, or experience. We look for individuals with grit, leadership potential, and a competitive spirit. If you’re driven, personable, and embody our Shared Values, you’re the right fit for Insight Global.
• Personality: We look for those who have strong personalities, who are positive, charismatic, and have a willingness to connect with others.
• Grit: This job is challenging, but it’s extremely rewarding. We want people who persevere beyond the hard stuff, handle difficult situations, and pursue long‑term goals under pressure.
• Team: Together, anything is possible. Employees must want to be part of a team and work well with others.
• Culture: Our culture is the most important, defined by Shared Values: Everyone Matters, We Take Care of Each Other, Leadership is Here to Serve, High Character & Hard Work Above All Else, & Always Know Where You Stand.
• Sales: We want someone who’s motivated, excited about sales, looking to start a long‑term career, and can embody our Sales Behaviors: Ability to Build In‑Person Relationships, Urgent, Aggressive and Direct, Relentlessly Compete, Always Find a Way, and Be Elite.
