  • Maintain accurate records in CRM/ATS and collaborate with team members to share best practices.

  • Support ad-hoc tasks that drive team success and client satisfaction.

  • Account Executive (promotion target: 9–12 months):

  • Own a book of business: prospect, cold call, run on-site client meetings, negotiate rates and contracts.

  • Manage and grow client relationships; be accountable for revenue and delivery.

  • Mentor and develop recruiters; provide coaching on recruiting and sales techniques.

  • Ensure documentation and client/candidate tracking in CRM/ATS are current and accurate.


What We’re Looking For

  • Strong coachable attitude and desire to grow in a sales-focused environment.
  • Comfortable working in-office with regular team collaboration and client visits.
  • Strong communication, persistence, and organizational skills.

What We Offer

  • Benefits package including medical, dental, and vision; 401(k); vacation pay; expense account; incentive trips; and profit sharing.
  • Clear, merit-based career path with frequent opportunities to be promoted from within.
  • A collaborative, high-energy environment that rewards initiative and results.
