• Entry level to 3 years

What You’ll Do

• 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

• 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.

• 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.
