Entry Level Recruiter

Leap Brands is an executive recruiting firm focused on helping growing companies build leadership teams that create real value. We partner with restaurant, franchise, retail, hospitality, fitness, healthcare, and other multi-unit businesses to recruit high-impact talent from the director level through the C-suite.

We move fast, compete hard, and take ownership of the outcome. We are continuing to grow and are looking for a recruiter who wants to build a career, produce at a high level, and be rewarded for results.

We are looking for a relentless recruiter who knows how to find people who are not actively applying for jobs.

This is not a role for someone who wants to post a position and wait for resumes. You will be expected to identify top performers, build relationships with passive candidates, understand what motivates them, and manage the recruiting process from the initial conversation through an accepted offer.

You will work on executive and leadership searches across multiple industries while building a network that becomes more valuable every year.

• Manage searches from kickoff through accepted offer
• Source and recruit passive candidates using Linked In Recruiter, internal databases, referrals, and direct outreach
• Conduct detailed candidate interviews and evaluate experience, leadership ability, motivation, and cultural alignment
• Develop a strong understanding of each client, position, and industry
• Present qualified candidates with clear and accurate written summaries
• Build long‑term relationships with executives and emerging leaders
• Maintain consistent candidate communication throughout the interview process
• Coordinate interviews and manage scheduling, feedback, references, and offers
• Partner with clients to understand hiring needs and adjust search strategies
• Track recruiting activity, pipeline progress, interviews, and placements
• Create urgency and keep searches moving forward
• Contribute to a competitive, accountable, and high-energy team environment

• Recruiting, executive search, staffing, sales, or business development experience preferred
• Strong sourcing skills and confidence approaching passive candidates
• Ability to build credibility with senior‑level professionals
• Competitive mindset with a strong sense of urgency
• Comfortable being measured by activity, results, and placements
• Highly organized and able to manage multiple searches simultaneously
• Persistent without becoming transactional
• Coachable, resourceful, and willing to do the work required to win
