We’re looking for a motivated, relationship-driven Business Development Representative to help grow our recruiting firm. You’ll identify companies with hiring needs, connect with decision-makers, and bring in new recruiting engagements.

This is a fully remote opportunity for someone who is confident in outbound sales, comfortable working independently, and excited by uncapped earning potential.

• Schedule and lead sales conversations
• Negotiate terms and close new client agreements
• Maintain accurate records of outreach, conversations, and opportunities
• Work closely with our recruiting team when handing off new clients
• Build long-term client relationships that generate repeat business

Compensation

• 15–20% commission on collected revenue from the business you bring in
• No base salary initially
• Uncapped earning potential
• For high performers who consistently generate new business, a base salary may be negotiated after a proven track record
• The commission percentage will be based on experience and agreed-upon terms
• Payment terms, client ownership, repeat-business commissions, and eligibility will be clearly defined in the contractor agreement

Who We’re Looking For

• Experience in business development, B2B sales, staffing, recruiting, or a related field
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Confidence conducting cold outreach and speaking with decision-makers
• Ability to build trust and maintain professional relationships
• Self-motivated, organized, and comfortable working with minimal supervision
• Results-oriented, with a consistent approach to prospecting and follow-up
• Reliable internet access and the ability to work remotely
• Existing relationships with hiring companies are a strong advantage

Why Join Us?

• Work remotely from anywhere
• Set your own schedule
• Earn uncapped commission
• Access to AI tools
• Opportunity to negotiate a base salary after demonstrating strong performance
• Help companies solve meaningful hiring challenges
• Collaborate directly with the firm’s leadership
• Opportunity to grow into a larger sales or partnership role as the business expands

Please submit:

• A brief introduction
• Your relevant sales, business development, or recruiting experience
