Summary

RecruitFlow is a full-cycle recruiting company looking for someone who knows how to win employer clients, not just source candidates. We already have a CRM, a target company list, and several qualified candidates ready for the right opportunities. Your main responsibility will be calling companies, reaching hiring decision-makers, identifying active openings, and turning those conversations into real recruiting relationships and job orders. What you will do • Call companies from our existing list and speak with founders, hiring managers, HR leaders, and other decision-makers • Introduce RecruitFlow and explain how we can help fill their open roles • Present relevant candidates when there is a strong match • Discover current and upcoming hiring needs • Handle objections, follow up consistently, and move interested companies toward an agreement • Secure permission for RecruitFlow to submit candidates and work on active vacancies • Keep all calls, notes, contacts, and follow-ups organized inside our CRM • Occasionally verify phone numbers or add a small number of new target companies • Help move opportunities from first contact through interviews and successful placement What success looks like We are targeting 3 to 5 genuine employer opportunities per month. A qualified opportunity means contact with the correct decision-maker, a real hiring need, and clear interest in working with RecruitFlow. Call volume alone does not count as success. Our goal is signed recruiting clients, active job orders, candidate interviews, and completed placements. Who we are looking for • Proven experience winning employer clients or job orders for a staffing or recruiting agency • Strong spoken English and confidence on business calls • Experience with cold calling, recruitment sales, outbound business development, and follow-up • Ability to speak intelligently about hiring needs and candidate value • Strong CRM discipline and reliable communication • Comfortable working independently and being measured by real outcomes This is not a candidate-sourcing-only position and not a general appointment-setting role. We need someone who understands how recruiting agencies gain clients and can show previous results. Compensation The role includes hourly pay plus performance bonuses. For successful placements generated through clients you win, the starting commission is 7.5% of the placement fee RecruitFlow collects. Commission is paid after the client pays RecruitFlow. We will begin with a paid 30-day trial, with the opportunity to continue long term if the results are strong. When applying, briefly explain how you have personally won recruiting clients or job orders, the results you produced, and how you would approach your first 30 days with RecruitFlow.
