The Digital Marketing Recruiters
Digital Marketing Recruiters has been in the digital marketing and recruitment space for over 25 years. We work with highly skilled marketing, digital marketing, and sales professionals and match them with our clients from diverse industries across the United States. Our selection process incorporates comprehensive resume screening, shortlisting, conducting video-recorded interviews and providing client information, administering written assessments (if required by the client), arranging client interviews, and facilitating job offers and placements.
The Client
The client is a disruptive eLearning SaaS start-up serving universities seeking to scale professional development and career advancement resources for undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty members, and academic leaders—all in one place. Their mission is to provide an equal opportunity for professionals at all educational levels across fields, cultures, and settings to develop the critical skill sets needed to survive and thrive during their academic careers and beyond. With 200+ expert-led courses across 30+ digital badge microcredentials, they integrate seamlessly into universities’ existing LMSs. Their curated library of end-to-end resources has been designed to meet evidence-based best practices in eLearning, resulting in curricula proven to increase scholarly productivity and positive career outcomes.
The Role
The client is seeking a self-starting, independent, quota-carrying professional who will carry the bag and directly produce revenue. This is not a role for someone who needs marketing or lead generation support—it is a hands-on producer role. The candidate will not build a sales organization, but rather the candidate is taking end-to-end responsibility to produce revenue.
The candidate will report directly to the Founder and CEO and work closely with the leadership team. For the right rising star, it is also a fast track to sales leadership and general management, with career growth limited only by their capacity to produce results.
