Job description

The Opportunity

AccruePartners is expanding and we're looking for a Inside Sales Associate to join our internal team and help accelerate firm growth. You'll join an award-winning firm with 20+ years of market presence, a Carolinas focus with national reach, and a reputation for placing top talent with some of the most recognized companies in the region.

This isn't a support role - it's a production seat. You'll learn the business of recruiting and sales from people who are actively doing it, earn real commission from day one, and build a skillset that compounds throughout your career. If you're competitive, relationship-driven, and motivated by performance-based earnings, this is where you want to start.

• Charlotte, NC
• Direct Hire
• Entry level to 3 years

What You'll Do

• Own both sides of the staffing equation - you'll recruit top candidates and develop client relationships with hiring managers, running full-cycle from first call to placement
• Prospect and cold call hiring managers across the Carolinas to build and grow a client portfolio from our HQ near Uptown
• Source, screen, and recruit candidates through direct outreach, LinkedIn, referrals, and job boards
• Conduct phone and video interviews; assess fit and prepare candidates for client conversations
• Manage your pipeline daily in Bullhorn; track activity, submittals, and results with consistency
• Build relationships in person - at networking events, client visits, and in the market
• Use tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, ChatGPT, Bullhorn and Bullhorn Amplify, and other platforms to research and identify talent
• Communicate daily with professionals at the manager and hiring manager level - on the phone, on camera, and in writing

What You Bring

• 0-3 years of professional experience; internships in sales, recruiting, staffing, or professional services count
• Comfortable with high outbound activity - calls are your primary tool and you don't shy away from them
• Strong communicator in writing and on the phone; you can hold your own in a conversation with a VP-level decision maker
• Motivated by performance-based pay - you want to see a direct connection between your effort and your earnings
• Curious, coachable, and competitive with a genuine hunger to learn and improve
• Bachelor's degree preferred; relevant experience considered in place of degree
• Based in Charlotte, near Uptown and requires 5 days in office for the first 90 days - hybrid after

Why AccruePartners

• Real Earnings Early - Competitive base, uncapped commissions, and a clear payout structure. Clear path for advancement both professionally and financially.
• Skills That Compound - You'll develop sales, recruiting, negotiation, and relationship skills that transfer across any career path. Most of our senior producers started in seats like this one.
• A Network You Inherit - AccruePartners has deep, long-standing client relationships across the Carolinas. You're not building from zero.
• Mentorship From Active Talent Partners and Client Success Managers - You'll sit alongside and learn from recruiters and business developers who are still billing, not just managing.
• A Defined Path Forward - Most associates advance to within 12-18 months based on production metrics, not tenure. From there, you can grow into team lead, vertical specialist, or account executive roles.
• High-Performance Culture - Recognized as a Best Place to Work by the Charlotte Business Journal, our team operates with accountability, celebrates wins, and supports each other in getting there.

If This Sounds Like You…

If you're ready to build a career somewhere that rewards the effort you put in - you'll feel right at home at AccruePartners.
