Our clients include ground-breaking start-up companies and well-established billion-dollar organizations who want to find their next generation of talent.

The Job

We’re looking for an Executive Recruiter who may not come from a traditional sales background, but gets it—someone who’s naturally persuasive, curious, sharp, and hungry to learn. You’ll be working directly with founders, executives, and senior talent to build high-performing teams. If you’re excited by people, love connecting dots, and have the drive to grow into a consultative, sales-forward role, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

● Learn the full recruiting process from start to finish, with training and support from experienced team members.

● Get comfortable picking up the phone and calling potential candidates to introduce roles, build relationships, and gauge interest—real conversations lead to real connections.

● Write job descriptions, post openings, and manage candidate pipelines.

● Source and engage candidates through LinkedIn, job boards, referrals, and outreach.

● Conduct initial candidate screenings to assess fit, motivation, and experience.

● Coordinate interviews and ensure a smooth, positive experience for candidates throughout the process.

● Communicate clearly and consistently with candidates, hiring managers, and teammates.

● Track candidate activity, notes, and progress using internal tools and applicant tracking systems (ATS).

● Work on multiple roles at once while staying organized, efficient, and responsive.

● Learn how to build strong relationships and develop a sharp eye for talent.

● Contribute ideas and insights as we continuously improve our recruiting approach.

Our Ideal Candidate Has

● Are a strong communicator—friendly, clear, and confident over email, phone, and video.

● Enjoy working with people and building relationships.

● Are organized, detail-oriented, and able to juggle multiple moving parts.

● Are curious, proactive, and eager to learn new skills quickly.

● Take initiative and ask questions—you’re not afraid to try, test, and iterate.

● Work well in fast-paced environments and enjoy hitting goals.

● Have any experience in customer service, sales, operations, or admin roles (not required, but helpful!).
