About Us

At HIRECLOUT, we help high-growth technology companies hire and retain top talent to scale faster and smarter.

We’re a global Tech & GTM Recruiting and Consulting firm, recognized by Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Companies (twice), Inc. Power Partner twice and Best Places to Work awards several times. Our clients range from venture-backed startups to mid-market companies and enterprises undergoing AI-driven digital transformation.

We don’t do “post and pray.” We hunt for top talent, build lasting relationships, and deliver results with speed, precision, and a sales-driven mindset.

The Role

We are looking for business-minded, sales-driven recruiters to own client acquisition and growth while also recruiting top talent to fill urgent roles.

This is not an HR or internal corporate recruiting job.

This is a front-line, revenue-generating position where you’ll win new business, fill jobs fast, and build long-term client partnerships.

The role will evolve over time:

Phase 1 (First 3-6 Months):

• 75% Business Development / 25% Recruiting
• Focus on prospecting, outreach, and closing new clients.
• Begin filling roles for those new clients to build credibility and revenue.

Phase 2 (Growth Mode, 6-12 months):

• 50% Business Development & Account Management / 50% Recruiting
• Continue bringing in new business while also managing and expanding existing client relationships.
• Become a trusted advisor, driving recurring revenue through both placements and consulting solutions.

This is a high-energy, in-office role for people who thrive in a competitive environment and want uncapped earning potential.

What You’ll Do

Phase 1 – Client Acquisition & Revenue Growth

• Prospect & Hunt: Identify and pursue new client opportunities through networking, cold outreach, and referrals.
• Win New Accounts: Build relationships with hiring managers and decision-makers to bring in fillable job orders.
• Recruit Top Talent: Source and recruit high-quality candidates for urgent client roles.
• Negotiate & Close: Drive deals from job order to placement, ensuring win-win outcomes for both client and candidate.

Phase 2 – Account Growth & Partnership Building

• Manage Key Accounts: Act as the main point of contact for clients, ensuring exceptional service and long-term loyalty.
• Expand Relationships: Identify opportunities to add more roles, projects, or consulting services with existing clients.
• Recruit Continuously: Maintain a strong candidate pipeline ready to deliver quickly on client needs.
• Collaborate & Scale: Work with team members to share market insights and create repeatable success playbooks.

What We’re NOT Looking For

HR professionals focused on policies and compliance

Process-driven talent acquisition teams who aren’t focused on sales and revenue

We want hunters, closers, and relationship builders who see recruiting as sales with a human impact.

The Type of Person Who Thrives Here

This is not a comfortable, mellow, or chill job.

This is a high-performance, high-reward role for people who want to push themselves and win.

• Extreme Work Ethic: You take ownership and are willing to put in the effort it takes to succeed.
• Burning Desire to Be Great: You have a relentless drive to achieve, grow, and dominate your space.
• Growth Mindset: You constantly seek to improve your skills, strategies, and results.
• Competitiveness: You thrive in an environment where winning matters.
• Resilience: You can handle rejection, keep going, and come back stronger every time.

If you want to be comfortable, this isn’t the place for you.

If you want to become the best and make a real impact, this is your opportunity.

What Success Looks Like

• First 3 Months: You’ve added new clients and filled initial roles, generating immediate revenue.
• 6 Months In: You’re consistently winning new job orders and closing placements.
• 12 Months In: You’ve built a book of business, with recurring revenue from both new and existing clients.

What You Bring

• Proven Sales Skills: 2+ years in recruiting, staffing, or direct B2B sales with a strong record of closing deals.
• Competitive Drive: You thrive in a fast-paced, metrics-driven environment.
• Tech Industry Insight: Knowledge of technology roles and trends is a plus.
• Relationship Mastery: Strong communication, negotiation, and networking abilities.
• Ownership Mentality: You treat your desk like your own business.
• In-Office Commitment: Ready to bring energy to the team every day.

Why Join HIRECLOUT

• High-Earning Potential: Base salary + uncapped commissions.
• Clear Growth Path: From individual contributor to account manager to leader.
• Industry Recognition: Work at a firm recognized by Inc. and Best Places to Work awards.
• Impact: Directly shape the growth of cutting-edge tech companies.
• Competitive base salary + uncapped commission structure
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• PTO and paid holidays
