A note from the founder

The workforce crisis we serve has a recruiting bottleneck most firms cannot scale through. CMHCs need clinicians. Hotels need captain-led teams. Federal contractors need MBE-eligible workforce.

The Wilkinson Firm is the firm operators trust to deliver - but our recruiting capacity needs to outscale our internal team's hours.

We are opening Recruiting Partner seats: external recruiters who place candidates into TWF client engagements and earn a placement fee on every closed placement. This is a performance role with a clear climb. Mission-aligned starter rate. Real upside as your placement track record builds.

What you would do

• Source and screen candidates against TWF client requisitions


• Submit qualified candidates with full vet (resume, screen notes, reference check status)


• Coordinate interview scheduling with TWF leadership and client hiring managers


• Manage offer negotiation in partnership with TWF


• Own the candidate experience through placement and 90-day retention

Compensation - Climbing Ladder Stage 1 (first 90 days, mission-aligned starter)

• 10% of first-year salary on every placed candidate


• $1,000 minimum per placement


• $5,000 cap per placement (Stage 1 only)

Stage 2 (after 5 placements + 80% 90-day retention)

• 15% of first-year salary


• $1,500 minimum


• No cap

Stage 3 (after 10 placements + sustained retention proof)

• 20% of first-year salary


• $2,500 minimum


• 90-day retention bonus: $500 per placement that stays 90 days


• 12-month retention bonus: $1,000 per placement that stays 12 months


• Senior advisor track conversation opens

Who we want

• 5+ years agency recruiting OR in-house TA with placement track record


• Strong sourcing fluency: LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, Manatal, or equivalent


• Documented track record of placements that stuck (retention numbers matter)


• Comfortable with the full lifecycle: sourcing, screening, scheduling, closing, post-placement


• ATS hygiene discipline

Bonus: Specialty in one of TWF's verticals - behavioral health, hospitality, or government contracting workforce.

Who we are not for

• Recruiters that measure success by submissions, not placements


• Anyone whose 90-day retention rate is below 70%


• Generalists with no specialty vertical
