Job description

Relevant Search | Full-Time | Entry-Level, Fully Trainable | Position is HYBRID in New York, NY

We are not looking for someone who has done this job before. We are looking for someone who has never backed down from a hard no, whether that was on the field, in a business idea that did not work out, or in a pitch nobody thought would land.

If that describes you, we will teach you the rest of the job.

Why Relevant, Right Now

We are brokers of happiness- we help great talent find their dream jobs, while helping financial services companies secure A-talent. At heart, we are an executive recruiting firm building the next-generation platform for talent in the financial world. We operate where elite human instinct meets AI systems, rebuilding how talent is found and matched to the biggest roles in insurance, finance, and other sectors. There is no 200-person hierarchy standing between you and real ownership of your desk. We have built AI as the backbone of how we source, screen, and close deals, and we are looking for people who get genuinely excited about using it, not people who simply tolerate it. There is no ceiling here except the one you place on yourself.

What You Will Actually Do

• Pick up the phone, often. Outreach to candidates and clients is the job, not something you do around the job.
• Build real relationships quickly. You will go from stranger to trusted advisor with people in a single call.
• Own your pipeline from start to finish, including the hard conversations when a deal falls through or a candidate does not move forward. We close every loop here, even when the news is bad.
• Stay organized across multiple candidates and clients at once. You will be running several conversations in parallel, and nothing falls through the cracks on your desk.
• Use AI tools daily to work faster and smarter than firms still doing things the old way.
• Get coached consistently, and improve consistently.

Who Thrives Here

• You hate losing. It does not matter if it is a rec league game or a friendly argument. You play to win.
• You can take 50 no's and pick up the phone for the 51st call with the same energy as the first. Rejection is data to you, not a verdict.
• You want to get better, and you do not get defensive when someone tells you how. If a manager says try that again, differently, you actually try it differently.
• You communicate clearly and hold your own in conversation, whether it's a first call with a stranger or a debrief with your manager.
• You are the person at a party who ends up knowing everyone's life story by the end of the night. People open up to you quickly, and you are genuinely curious about them, "dumb" questions included.
• You are naturally organized, and you keep track of your commitments without being reminded.
• When your first plan does not work, you do not wait for someone to tell you what is next. You figure it out.
• You understand AI is part of daily life and are curious how to use it to get to the end result faster and more efficiently.
• You treat everyone the same, whether it's the CEO or the intern. Old-school manners, no exceptions.
• You have built something from nothing. Maybe you played a sport at a competitive level. Maybe you started a business, and yes, a childhood lemonade stand counts. Maybe you ran a club, organized a fundraiser, or led something nobody asked you to lead. If you have ever put yourself on the line to make something happen, we want to talk to you.

What We Offer

• $60,000 to $70,000 base salary, plus uncapped commission. Your income reflects your effort, not your tenure.
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• A real path to running your own desk quickly, for those who earn it.
• Hands-on coaching from people who have done this job and want you to be great at it.
• Modern, AI-powered tools built to make you faster, not just busier.
• A fast-moving, high-energy team that genuinely likes each other.

Our Hiring Process Is a Little Different

We do not just read resumes and call it a day. Our process includes an interactive case study where you work through a realistic scenario with an AI persona, a paper screen of your resume and a behavioral assessment, and time with our hiring team to talk through how you think and handle pressure, not just what's on paper.

We will teach you the recruiting part.
