The Role
As a Senior / Principal Recruiter, you will own your market end-to-end — driving business development, delivering top-tier talent, and managing a true full desk across direct hire, contract, and contract-to-hire placements. You’ll run your desk like a business, supported by a firm built by recruiters, for recruiters.
This is not a seat-filler job.
This is a role for someone who wants to lead from the front, shape a growing firm, and build something that lasts.
What You’ll Do

- Build, manage, and expand high-value client relationships
- Leverage our Agentic AI + Lead Distribution System (LDS) to move faster and smarter
- Set the standard for delivery, speed, quality, and accountability
- Mentor others as we scale; your voice and leadership will shape the firm
- Contribute directly to culture, process, and operational excellence
What You Bring
- Proven agency track record — ideally $400K+ annual billings or clear performance at that level
- 7+ years recruiting experience (agency required; executive search/technical a plus)
- Confidence and skill operating a true full desk
- A reputation for urgency, precision, and follow-through
- Leadership instincts — you build people up and raise standards
- Entrepreneurial drive paired with a team-first mindset
Compensation & Perks
- One of the highest W-2 commission plans in the recruiting industry
- Best-in-class management override program designed to reward those who mentor and lead
- Full W-2 Benefits Package, including:
- Health, dental & vision insurance
- Unlimited PTO
- Optional 4-Day Workweek (Fridays off) — built for longevity and performance
- Best-in-class AI + recruiting tools designed to protect your time and maximize output
- A firm where your work is seen, supported, and rewarded — not micromanaged
- A culture built on autonomy, high standards, transparency, and zero micromanagement
