Job description

Turrentine Talent Advisors is looking for a driven, entrepreneurial Senior Recruiter to join our team.

This is not a traditional recruiting role. We’re looking for someone who knows how to own a desk from end to end — building relationships with clients, developing new business, sourcing and recruiting talent, closing candidates, and ultimately owning the results of their business.

You’ll have the support, resources, and infrastructure of Turrentine Talent Advisors while having the autonomy to operate your desk like your own business. If you’re someone who thrives on competition, enjoys the hunt, and is motivated by uncapped earning potential, this could be a great fit.

What You’ll Do

• Own your full desk from business development through candidate placement.
• Identify, prospect, and develop new client relationships.
• Build and maintain long-term partnerships with hiring managers and companies.
• Source, identify, interview, and present qualified candidates.
• Manage the recruiting process from initial client contact through offer acceptance.
• Develop a strong network of candidates and industry contacts.
• Negotiate offers and successfully close both clients and candidates.
• Manage your pipeline, activity, and revenue with a high degree of ownership.
• Continuously develop new business while growing existing client relationships.
• Take advantage of the tools, support, and resources provided by Turrentine Search Partners to grow your desk.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a hunter — someone who is competitive, resilient, and motivated by results.

The ideal candidate:

• Has proven experience running a full-desk recruiting or staffing desk.
• Has experience winning new clients and generating their own business.
• Has a track record of personally sourcing and placing candidates.
• Is comfortable with cold calling, business development, and prospecting.
• Is highly sales-oriented and money motivated.
• Has the grit and persistence to keep pushing when deals don’t go your way.
• Is confident building relationships with executives, hiring managers, and candidates.
• Is highly organized and capable of managing multiple searches and client relationships simultaneously.
• Takes ownership of their numbers, pipeline, and results.
• Wants the autonomy and earning potential of running their own business within an established recruiting firm.

Why Us?

At Turrentine Talent Advisors, you’ll have the opportunity to build something of your own without having to build everything from scratch.

You’ll have the independence to run your desk like a business, combined with the support and infrastructure of an established search firm. We want our recruiters focused on what they do best: winning clients, finding great talent, making placements, and making money.

If you’re an experienced recruiter who wants more ownership, more autonomy, and the opportunity to directly control your earning potential, we want to hear from you.

If you have the drive to build it, we’ll give you the platform to do it.
