Core Responsibilities

In this 360° role, you own the entire recruitment lifecycle from "pitch to placement."

1. Business Development (The Sales)

  • Identify and prospect new business opportunities and industry verticals.

  • Pitch recruitment services to hiring managers and HR stakeholders.

  • Negotiate Terms of Business (TOB) and secure new job orders.

2. Account Management (The Relationship)

  • Consult with hiring managers to understand technical requirements and cultural fit.

  • Provide market insights and salary benchmarking to clients.

3. Talent Sourcing & Delivery (The Match)

  • Screen, interview, and shortlist candidates to ensure quality over quantity.

  • Communication: Exceptional negotiation skills and the ability to build rapport quickly.

Why Join Us?

  • Unlimited Earning Potential: A competitive commission structure that rewards high billers.

  • Total Autonomy: Balance your work around your life, whether that’s travel, family, or other projects.
