If you’re a proven salesperson looking to step into a high-earning, performance-driven environment, this is an opportunity to build a lucrative career in recruitment within a business that operates like a start-up but has serious financial backing behind it.

The Austin office has a close-knit, highly social team culture (people here are genuine friends) and they’re now looking to hire four ambitious sales professionals to join the team.

• Managing client relationships and growing accounts
• Sourcing and managing candidates across specialist industries
• Negotiating offers and closing deals

At its core, recruitment is high-level consultative sales. You’ll be selling a service, building partnerships with hiring managers, and influencing hiring decisions in fast-moving industries.
