Job description

Professional Search Advisors | Remote | Agency Recruiting

Build relationships. Make placements. Grow your earning potential.

Professional Search Advisors is growing, and we’re looking for motivated agency recruiters who see an opportunity to build a successful recruiting practice. We help clients make important hiring decisions and professionals take meaningful steps in their careers.

We want someone who brings initiative, competitive drive, and pride in their results. Someone who picks up the phone, creates opportunities, follows through, and understands the connection between effort, execution, and earnings.

The opportunity

As a Search & Advisory Consultant, you will take ownership of searches from initial outreach through placement. You’ll develop expertise in your market, build a strong candidate network, and become a trusted resource for the people and companies you serve.

This is a production-focused agency recruiting role with individual accountability for activity, candidate quality, and successful placements. Prior agency or search firm recruiting experience is required.

What you’ll do

• Proactively identify and engage qualified candidates through phone calls, email, LinkedIn, referrals, and targeted research.
• Build relationships with professionals who may be open to the right opportunity—even when they aren’t actively looking.
• Lead substantive candidate conversations to understand experience, career goals, compensation expectations, and motivations.
• Develop a clear understanding of each client’s business, hiring needs, and expectations.
• Present qualified candidates with a thoughtful explanation of their fit and interest.
• Manage interview coordination, feedback, offer discussions, and follow-up to keep searches moving.
• Anticipate concerns and help candidates and clients make informed decisions.
• Maintain accurate records and consistent follow-through in our CRM.
• Take responsibility for your pipeline, production goals, and continued improvement.

Who will succeed here

• You have agency recruiting experience. You understand outbound recruiting, placement fees, production goals, and the persistence required to close a search.
• You create momentum. You initiate conversations and pursue opportunities without waiting for someone to assign your next task.
• You are motivated by results and financial upside. You want your contribution to influence your earnings and growth.
• You handle rejection well. An unanswered call or declined opportunity leads to your next action.
• You balance urgency with judgment. You move quickly while protecting relationships and maintaining candidate quality.
• You are coachable and accountable. You welcome direct feedback, learn from setbacks, and follow through on commitments.
• You think beyond one placement. You build relationships that generate referrals, repeat business, and lasting credibility.

What you can expect

• Performance-driven compensation that rewards successful placements.
• A remote environment with autonomy and clear accountability.
• Recruiting technology, collaboration, and support from a specialized firm.
• The opportunity to deepen your market expertise and take on greater responsibility as you produce results.
