Job description

We're looking for a recruiter who knows how to get things done.

Bayforce is looking for a sharp, driven recruiter who thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes ownership of their work, and is motivated by results and the opportunity to earn.

We're not looking for someone who simply knows how to search resumes or has spent years recruiting for the same types of positions. We want someone who is exceptionally good at recruiting, regardless of the technology or skill set they're asked to find.

Our recruiting team supports contract IT consulting opportunities with direct hiring managers at our clients. This is not a high-volume VMS recruiting position. Our recruiters work closely with our sales team to understand client needs, identify strong candidates, and move quickly to get consultants placed.

You'll manage multiple open positions simultaneously, often across different technologies and functional areas. Success requires the ability to learn quickly, prioritize effectively, stay organized, and consistently deliver results.

What You'll Do

• Own the full recruiting lifecycle for contract IT consulting opportunities, from intake through candidate selection, offer negotiation, and placement.
• Recruit across a wide variety of technical and functional areas, including ERP, CRM, cloud, data, AI, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and other specialized technologies.
• Quickly understand unfamiliar requirements and develop effective sourcing strategies.
• Proactively identify and engage qualified candidates rather than relying primarily on applicants or existing databases.
• Manage multiple active searches while maintaining speed, quality, and attention to detail.
• Thoroughly qualify candidates for technical experience, project background, communication skills, availability, compensation, and fit.
• Work closely with the sales team to understand client priorities, provide market feedback, and deliver qualified candidates quickly.
• Maintain accurate candidate information, recruiting activity, and pipeline updates in our systems.
• Build strong relationships with consultants and develop a network that supports future opportunities.
• Negotiate effectively, overcome obstacles, and consistently work toward successful placements.

What Makes Someone Successful Here

You're driven. You enjoy competing, achieving goals, and earning more when you perform well. You don't need someone constantly pushing you to produce results.

You work with urgency. You understand that speed matters in staffing. You move quickly without sacrificing quality.

You're smart and resourceful. You can take an unfamiliar technical requirement, figure out what matters, and identify the right candidates without needing someone to walk you through every step.

You take ownership. You don't wait for instructions or make excuses when a search gets difficult. You find another way.

You're detail-oriented. You ask the right questions, catch inconsistencies, follow through, and don't create avoidable problems by overlooking important information.

You're persistent. You understand that successful recruiting takes proactive outreach, follow-up, relationship building, and the willingness to keep going when the first approach doesn't work.

You're accountable. You know your numbers, understand your pipeline, and can explain what you're doing to improve your results.

You're committed. You want to build something, develop relationships, and become a valuable long-term contributor.

What We're Looking For

• A proven track record of successful recruiting, preferably in staffing environments.
• Experience recruiting for contract positions strongly preferred.
• IT recruiting experience preferred, but we will consider exceptional recruiters from other specialized professional staffing disciplines such as engineering.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple searches, source difficult-to-find talent, and consistently deliver placements.
• Strong interviewing, candidate qualification, relationship-building, and negotiation skills.
• Excellent organization, communication, follow-through, and attention to detail.
• A history of meaningful contributions and sustained performance with previous employers.
• A competitive, results-oriented mindset and strong financial motivation.
