Job description

If you're competitive, commercially minded, and motivated by progression and earning potential, this is your opportunity to build a serious career from day one.

This isn't a "wait your turn" corporate role. It's a performance-driven environment where your progression, earnings, and title are based entirely on what you achieve.

Many of the VPs, Directors, and senior leaders in the business started here as graduates. They built their careers from the ground up, and a large portion of the leadership team has been with the company for 5–10+ years. Progression is not dependent on someone leaving. You hit your targets = you get promoted.

Based in Chicago, you'll join a high-performing team covering Life Sciences, Banking & Finance, and Technology & IT.

Recruitment is one of the most challenging and rewarding forms of sales. You're not selling a product. You're influencing career decisions, negotiating offers, and helping businesses scale with top talent.

Compensation

• Uncapped commission from day one
• Year 1 OTE: $75–85k (subject to confirmation for Chicago)
• Top 50 billers in the business earn around $18k per month in commission alone
• Top 10 billers earn around $34k per month in commission alone

Your earnings are directly tied to performance. There is no ceiling!

You'll benefit from structured training with a dedicated in-house Learning & Development function.

You'll receive ongoing mentorship from experienced billers and leaders who have progressed through the ranks themselves.

This is a UK-founded business operating in the US, offering strong benefits and long-term investment in its people.

What You Need

• 6+ months of B2B sales experience
• OR up to 1 year in staffing/recruitment
• OR a highly motivated graduate with strong commercial awareness

More importantly, you:

• Have a genuine reason why you want to work in sales.
• Understand that recruitment is demanding.
• Are resilient, competitive, and money-motivated.
• Want progression based purely on performance.

If you're serious about building a high-earning career in Chicago and are prepared to work for it, this is your opportunity!
