ROLE

Outbound Talent Scout - especially for high producing sales reps

Onsite in northern San Diego, CA (on Miramar RD, just across from Marine Corps Air Station Miramar)

$100,000+ base | $160,000-$200,000+ Year 1 OTE | Higher upside for proven top performers

/ Let’s Grow COO (same company) has been hired by one of Southern California’s largest home buying companies to find an Outbound Talent Scout who can help them recruit the kind of people who win in high-pressure, high-earning, direct-to-consumer sales environments.

This is not a corporate HR role. This is not a “review resumes and schedule interviews” role. This is not for someone who wants to hide behind job postings.

This is a sales-driven recruiting seat for someone who knows how to chase, persuade, qualify, challenge, and close high-performing people.

The best person for this role may already be a recruiter. But they may also be a top-performing salesperson from solar, door-to-door, home services, high-ticket retail, hospitality, network marketing, real estate, or another direct-to-consumer sales environment.

If you can sell, build trust quickly, ask sharp questions, read people well, and move competitive candidates to action, we can train the recruiting mechanics.

If you want comfort, predictability, work from home, or a slow desk, this is not the job.

If you want to make serious money, compete with high performers, and be measured by results, keep reading.

Your job is to find and recruit the people who will help the company grow.

Sales hiring will be the majority of the role. You will help recruit acquisitions reps, inside sales reps, dispositions reps, closing managers, listing agents, account managers, and other revenue-driving roles across the company and its vertically integrated businesses.

You may also support searches across operations, accounting, asset management, marketing, leadership, and other business-critical seats.

But the core mission is simple:
Find strong people before everyone else does. Get their attention. Build trust. Challenge them. Move them through the process. Close them. Repeat.

This company does not want a passive recruiter. They want someone who can recruit the way a top sales rep sells.

The best person in this seat will not wait for applicants. They will hunt.

You are winning when the company is not dependent on job board applicants.

You are winning when hiring managers have strong candidates before they start asking where the pipeline is.

You are winning when high-performing sales candidates take your call, trust your read on the opportunity, and move quickly through the process.

You are winning when hiring managers see stronger candidates because of your outbound work.

You are winning when your outreach turns into conversations, interviews, offers, accepted offers, and hires.

You are winning when leadership can say, “This person raises the talent level of the company.”

You will source candidates through Linked In, databases, referrals, direct outreach, competitor mapping, local market research, and creative search strategies. You are expected to create a pipeline, not wait for it.

A major part of this role is recruiting people who can sell. You need to understand drive, confidence, urgency, resilience, money motivation, emotional intelligence, and competitive edge. The wrong sales hire costs the company time and revenue. Your job is to find the people who can actually produce.

Strong candidates are not sitting around waiting to apply. You will need to get their attention, earn trust quickly, explain the upside clearly, handle objections, and move them to the next step. If you cannot create urgency in a conversation, this role will be difficult.

You will track outreach volume, reply rates, screens booked, interviews, offers, accepted offers, and hires. The numbers will be visible. Activity matters, but quality and conversion matter more.

Slow recruiting loses strong…
