Job description

Red Kite Recruiting specializes in recruiting top talent within the food industry, connecting exceptional professionals with companies that help drive the industry forward. We are looking for a driven, sales-minded Recruiter to join our growing team and help identify, engage, and place high-quality talent across the industry.

What You’ll Do

• Head Hunt Top Talent: Proactively identify and engage passive candidates within the food industry who may not be actively looking for a new opportunity.
• Build Relationships: Develop meaningful connections with candidates, understand their career goals, and present opportunities that align with their experience and interests.
• Drive Placements: Manage candidate outreach and communication throughout the recruiting process, working to turn conversations into successful placements.
• Lead with a Sales Mindset: Confidently communicate with candidates, build interest in opportunities, overcome objections, and keep the recruiting process moving forward.
• Own Your Results: Stay persistent, organized, and focused on activity and performance goals while maintaining a professional presence on every call.
• Grow Your Network: Build a strong pipeline of talent and develop the relationship-building skills needed to become a successful full-desk recruiter.

Who You Are

• Driven and Competitive: You have a strong work ethic, natural grit, and the determination to push through challenges.
• Financially Motivated: You’re hungry to earn and excited by a competitive commission structure that rewards performance.
• Confident on the Phone: You communicate professionally, build rapport quickly, and know how to hold engaging conversations with candidates.
• A Natural Hunter: You enjoy pursuing opportunities, initiating conversations, and finding people others may overlook.
• Persistent and Resilient: You can handle rejection, stay motivated, and keep pushing toward your goals.
• Sales-Oriented: You’re energized by measurable results, relationship building, and the opportunity to influence your own success.
• Professional and Accountable: You take ownership of your work, manage your time effectively, and represent the company with confidence.

This role is designed for someone who wants to build a career, not just fill a position. You’ll have the opportunity to develop your recruiting expertise, build a strong network, and grow into a full-desk recruiter.

As you develop, you’ll have the opportunity to take on business development responsibilities, bring in new clients, build client relationships, and manage both sides of the recruiting process. The goal is to give you the skills and opportunity to build your own book of business and take greater ownership of your success.

What We Offer

• Remote Work: The flexibility to work remotely while building a successful recruiting career.
• Competitive Commission Structure: Strong earning potential tied to your performance and results.
• Career Advancement: A clear opportunity to grow into a full-desk recruiting role with business development responsibilities.
• Entrepreneurial Opportunity: The ability to build your network, develop client relationships, and grow your own book of business.
• Performance-Driven Environment: An opportunity to challenge yourself, compete, and see the direct impact of your hard work.
