At Joss Search, we're trusted by some of the most respected private equity and alternative investment firms in the world to recruit the talent that keeps their businesses running.

Our New York permanent team is growing, and we're looking for an experienced recruiter who can hit the ground running. This isn't a role for someone learning the basics of recruitment. We need a true 360 or 270 consultant who is comfortable owning the entire hiring process, building trusted client relationships, and delivering exceptional candidates in a fast-paced market.

The Opportunity

Our business is growing rapidly and demand from our clients continues to increase. You'll inherit active vacancies from day one and have the opportunity to make an immediate impact.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a high-performance environment, enjoys working with premium clients and candidates, and wants the autonomy to run their own desk while being supported by an established brand and team.

You’ll likely have:

• 3+ years of 360 or 270 permanent recruitment experience
• A proven track record of managing client relationships directly
• Experience running end-to-end recruitment processes independently
• Strong commercial awareness and a consultative approach
• A history of billing $400,000+ annually (or equivalent performance level)
• The ability to manage multiple live searches at pace without sacrificing quality

Highly desirable:

• Experience recruiting Executive Assistants, Business Support or Operations professionals
• Exposure to Private Equity, Alternative Investments or Financial Services clients
• Experience working within a high-performance recruitment agency environment

What Success Looks Like

• Taking ownership of a portfolio of live roles within your first 30 days
• Building credibility with clients quickly
• Consistently delivering high-quality candidate shortlists
• Generating significant placement revenue and developing long-term client relationships

What's In It For You?

• $80,000-$90,000 base salary
• Uncapped commission
• Established client relationships and active vacancies
• Premium private equity and alternative investment clients
• Employee-owned Business Model
• Great benefits including medical, 401k, 19days PTO and much more
• Hybrid working (3 days in our Manhattan office)
• A collaborative, high-performing team environment
• Clear progression opportunities within a growing business

If you're an experienced recruiter who loves delivery, thrives on pace, and enjoys partnering with sophisticated clients and candidates, we'd love to hear from you.
