The Opportunity

A leading national staffing and professional services organization is seeking an experienced staffing sales professional to join its growing Austin team.

This opportunity can be structured based on the successful candidate's experience and career goals. The company is open to:

• A proven staffing sales leader who wants to help develop and grow a sales team.
• An experienced player/coach who enjoys mentoring others while continuing to personally produce.
• A successful Senior Account Executive who wants to remain a high-performing individual contributor.

The Austin office has an established recruiting and sales infrastructure in place and is looking for an experienced producer who can accelerate growth, develop new client relationships, and help expand the business.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop new business throughout the Austin market through strategic prospecting, networking, referrals, and relationship building.
• Build relationships with HR leaders, hiring managers, executives, and other decision-makers.
• Sell staffing and recruiting solutions within the administrative, HR, and professional services markets.
• Manage the sales cycle from prospecting and client development through job orders, placements, and account growth.
• Partner closely with recruiters to develop effective search strategies and provide exceptional client service.
• Build long-term client partnerships through a consultative, relationship-driven approach.
• Identify opportunities to expand existing accounts and develop new revenue.

For candidates interested in leadership, responsibilities may also include mentoring sales professionals, providing guidance on business development strategy, and helping build a high-performing Austin sales organization.

Qualifications

• Proven business development or account management success within the staffing and recruiting industry.
• Experience selling administrative and/or HR staffing services. Candidates with a meaningful portion of their staffing business—approximately 25% or more in administrative staffing will be strongly considered.
• Demonstrated ability to generate new business and build lasting client relationships.
• Strong prospecting, networking, negotiation, presentation, and closing skills.
• Consultative, white-glove approach to client development rather than primarily price-driven selling.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with recruiters and internal teams.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with strong ownership and accountability.

Leadership experience is a plus, but not required. Successful Senior Account Executives who want to remain individual contributors are strongly encouraged to apply.

The culture values collaboration, accountability, personal production, and being present with the team while maintaining a practical approach to work-life balance. The environment is on-site but highly flexible, allowing employees to manage family responsibilities, appointments, and other personal needs when necessary.

Why Consider This Opportunity?
