• Prospect for new clients through networking, referrals, candidate leads, and proactive outreach
• Grow existing client accounts and uncover additional hiring opportunities
• Recruit and engage high-caliber passive and active candidates
• Manage the full recruiting process from initial conversation through offer and placement
• Negotiate fee agreements and close business
• Build a strong network within your target market
• Become a trusted advisor to both clients and candidates

• Drive direct-hire revenue and work toward individual production goals

Who We’re Looking For

• Has a strong sales mindset and enjoys developing new business

• Loves building relationships and growing a professional network

• Has experience in recruiting, staffing, sales, business development, or another relationship-driven environment

Our Executive Recruiter profile calls for experience recruiting mid- to senior-level talent or relevant industry experience.

Our commission model rewards production, creating additional upside as you grow your business.

If you’ve already built a successful desk or book of business and are confident in your ability to develop clients, close business, and generate revenue, we want to talk to you.
