Job description

Senior Full-Desk Executive Recruiter – NYC

We’re growing our NYC team and looking for a Senior Full-Desk Recruiter who wants to build something of their own.

You’ll have the opportunity to build your candidate network, work closely with our sales team, develop your market, and take a search from the first call all the way to the placement.

We’re a certified minority-owned staffing firm based in NYC, with teams across Accounting & Finance, Financial Services, Healthcare, Legal, IT, HR, and Administrative staffing.

What You’ll Own

• Manage the full recruiting lifecycle — sourcing, screening, interviewing, presenting, negotiating, and closing
• Partner with our sales team to understand client needs and deliver the right talent
• Build and maintain a strong network of candidates within your specialty
• Proactively identify and recruit talent rather than relying solely on job orders
• Market available consultants and candidates across active client opportunities
• Manage multiple searches while keeping candidates engaged throughout the process
• Develop market knowledge and become a go-to resource within your niche
• Help grow the NYC business by turning candidate relationships into long‑term opportunities

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of staffing/recruiting experience preferred
• Experience working a full desk or interest in growing into a full-desk model
• Strong phone, communication, and relationship-building skills
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment
• Strong follow‑up and organizational skills
• Competitive, motivated, and entrepreneurial mindset
• Ability to manage multiple priorities without losing urgency or attention to detail
• Bachelor's degree preferred, but not required

Why This Opportunity?

This isn’t a seat where you’re simply handed requisitions and expected to fill them. You’ll have the opportunity to build your own market, grow your candidate network, work alongside an experienced sales team, and directly impact your earning potential. We provide the platform, resources, leadership, and support — you bring the drive.

We believe in open-door leadership, collaboration, and developing people from within. If you’re someone who enjoys the pace of staffing, loves building relationships, and wants real ownership over your desk and career, we’d love to talk.

Ready to build something of your own? Let’s talk.
