Job description

Bridgeway Partners is a professional search and advisory firm that helps organizations hire critical talent in some of today’s most specialized and competitive markets. Since 2005, we’ve built our reputation around strong recruiting fundamentals, innovative search strategies, deep industry knowledge, and one thing above all else: finding great people.

We’re growing our recruiting team in Broadview Heights, Ohio, and looking for someone who wants to build a career in executive search.

The Role

At Bridgeway, recruiting comes down to three things:

Research: Identify and map the professionals our clients need to hire. You’ll learn industries, companies, career paths, and talent markets and determine who we should be talking to.

Marketing: Most of the people we recruit aren’t actively looking for jobs. Your job is to get their attention, tell a compelling story, and create enough interest for them to have a conversation.

Recruiting: Build relationships, understand what motivates people, and inspire successful professionals to consider what their career and value could look like outside of where they are today.

This is direct recruiting and executive search—not simply posting jobs and waiting for applicants.

Why Bridgeway?

Work with accomplished professionals.

Our searches span Life Sciences, Construction/Engineering, Financial Services, and other specialized markets. Depending on the search, you may be recruiting experienced professionals, technical experts, physicians, scientists, engineers, or executives.

We have more than 20 years of experience building recruiting philosophies, processes, and procedures designed around direct recruitment. We invest heavily in training and will teach you how to research markets, approach passive candidates, qualify talent, overcome objections, and manage a professional recruiting process.

Have an impact.

We may not develop the next breakthrough therapy, design the next surgical robot, or construct the next major project—but we recruit the people who will. The professionals we place can have a meaningful impact on the organizations they join.

Build a career.

We want people looking for more than their next job. There is significant opportunity to grow professionally and financially as you become more capable, productive, and valuable within our organization.

What You’ll Do

• Research companies, industries, and candidate pools for active searches
• Identify and directly recruit passive professionals
• Market career opportunities through phone, email, LinkedIn, and other channels
• Conduct recruiting and qualification conversations
• Understand candidates’ experience, motivations, goals, and career drivers
• Develop relationships with professionals who may not initially be looking for a new opportunity
• Present qualified candidates to Bridgeway's Partners and clients
• Prepare candidates for interviews and guide them throughout the hiring process
• Maintain consistent follow-up and accurate search documentation

What We’re Looking For

Recruiting experience is valuable, but we're equally interested in the characteristics that make someone successful here:

• Coachability and a desire to learn
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Curiosity and willingness to learn complex industries
• Comfort speaking with accomplished and senior‑level professionals
• Competitive drive and a desire to succeed
• Resilience—you will hear "no"
• Strong research and problem‑solving ability
• Interest in recruiting, sales, marketing, or consulting
• High level of accountability and follow‑through
• Desire to grow professionally and financially

What We Offer

• Extensive training and ongoing professional development
• Direct exposure to experienced Partners and recruiters
• Competitive compensation with monthly commission opportunities
• Clear opportunity for professional and financial growth
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits
• 401(k) plus annual employer contribution
• PTO
• Broadview Heights headquarters with two outdoor patios and an on-site gym

If you're energized by people, curious about business, comfortable picking up the phone, and interested in learning how to recruit successful professionals who aren't actively looking for their next job, we'd like to talk.
