Talent Sales Rep (aka Recruiter)

Most recruiters wait for candidates to come to them.

You don't wait. You prospect. You pitch. You close.

We're looking for someone who thinks less like a traditional recruiter and more like a sales rep who happens to love people - someone who gets energized by the hunt, knows how to build real relationships, and can sell the vision of a company that's genuinely doing something different. We’d especially love someone who is able to understand technical roles to help us recruit our next batch of innovative engineers. 

• →Running full-cycle recruiting - but leading with relationship-building, not just requisition-filling
• →Working your network like it's your most valuable asset - because it is. You stay in touch, you show up, you remember details
• →Crafting outreach that actually sounds like a human wrote it - because candidates can smell a template from a mile away
• →Running conversations that feel like coffee chats, not interrogations - you know how to get people talking about what they actually want
• →Pitching roles in a way that makes candidates lean in - connecting what the job offers to what the person cares about
• →Navigating the "I'm not looking" with grace - not pressure. You plant seeds, you stay warm, you play a long game when needed
• →Partnering with hiring managers to understand what makes a role worth saying yes to, then going out and telling that story well

• 2+ years in recruiting, sales, or any role where your ability to connect with people was the whole job
• A genuine talent for building rapport fast - you can make a stranger feel like you've known each other for years
• The confidence to cold outreach without a warm intro - and the charisma to make it not feel cold
• A pitch instinct rooted in active listening - you know how to truly hear what someone values and meet them there (both candidates and hiring manager)
• Strong written voice - your messages get replies because they feel personal, not transactional
• Resilience - you don't let a no derail you. You learn from it and move on
• Organization and attention to detail - you manage pipelines like a pro, and your follow-up is legendary.
• Data instincts - you treat pipeline metrics like a game you have to win, constantly optimizing your approach.
• Business acumen - you understand the strategic importance of a role and can sell the business value, not just the job description.

• Done any technical recruiting or can understand the requirements for a technical role
• Worked a room — conferences, meetups, campus events, industry networks
• Sold something intangible: an idea, a role, a company, a vision
• Built your own candidate community or talent network from scratch
• Come from media, outdoor, or consumer brands where culture is part of the pitch

This isn't a "post and pray" role. It's a hunting role with heart.

If that sounds like you — let's talk.
