The Mission

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.

Critical Accountabilities

  • Build outbound pipelines that turn into hires

  • Recruit high-performing sales talent

  • Sell the opportunity like a closer

  • Keep a visible scoreboard

  • Recruit across multiple companies and functions

  • Improve the funnel every week

First 90 Days on the Job

  • First 30 Days: Learn the business, roles, hiring standards, and market. Produce 80%+ of time on outbound sourcing and candidate conversations. Contact at least 150 targeted candidates. Build talent maps for highest-priority sales roles. Understand what separates a real sales producer from someone who just interviews well. Know recruiting metrics and report them clearly. Show trust with hiring managers.

  • First 60 Days: Add 75+ new outbound contacts per week. Hiring managers see qualified candidates from your sourcing work. Have at least one priority role at final interview, offer, or close stage. Outreach improves based on reply and conversion data. Show ability to move candidates with urgency.

  • First 90 Days: 90% of closed hires are from your outbound sourcing. Show full funnel from outreach to hire. Have a repeatable process for building a passive candidate pipeline. Produce stronger candidates than inbound alone could produce. Leadership trusts you to drive hiring without being chased.
