Business Development Representative

Business Development Representative | St. Louis, MO

At Stivers
, we don’t just fill seats; we build the teams that power businesses. We are looking for an energetic, people-oriented Business Development / Account Manager who is ready to transition their elite customer service skills into a professional business career.

If you’ve spent years in the service industry or retail, you know that success comes down to two things:
attitude and hustle. We aren’t looking for a "salesperson"—we’re looking for a relationship builder who can think on their feet and solve problems before they start.

In this role, you aren’t just a middleman. You are the face of our company. You will manage the entire lifecycle of a client relationship—finding them, winning them over, and making sure they stay happy.

• The Hunt: You’ll identify local businesses that are growing and need help. You aren’t "cold calling"; you’re introducing yourself as a resource to help them solve their staffing headaches.
• The Meeting: You’ll sit down with decision makers to listen. You won’t give a canned pitch; you’ll work with your team to create a solution and figure out exactly how we can help them run smoother.

• Beyond the Sale: Once a client signs on, your job has just begun. You’ll stay embedded in their business, making sure our team is delivering exactly what they need.
• The Trusted Advisor: You’ll move from being a "vendor" to a partner. You’ll support Talent Management, check in regularly with your clients, review how things are going, and find new ways to help clients and talent succeed.

We hire for character and potential
, not just what's on a resume. If you fit the description below, we want to talk to you:

• Service Superstars: You have a background in the service industry, hospitality, or high-end retail. You know how to handle a "difficult table" with grace and a smile.
• The "Smart-Hustle": You’re quick on your feet, curious, and love to learn. You don’t need a manual for every situation; you can figure things out.
• High Energy & Accountability: You treat your desk like your own small business. You’re self-motivated and don't need someone looking over your shoulder to get the job done.
• Mobility: A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation are required to visit your clients in person.

• The Pay: $50,000–$65,000 base salary plus uncapped commission.
• The Training: You’ll work alongside a solid team of professionals + have the resources of a national leader behind you. We will teach you the business of staffing; you just bring the drive.
• The Trust: Flexible PTO. We care about your results and your happiness, not just your clock-in time.
• The Perks: 401(k) match, full medical/dental/vision.
