  • Remote | USFor recruiters who have built a desk, won their own clients and are ready to build something bigger.
  • If you're an experienced 360 recruiter who wants more autonomy, better access to the market and the opportunity to build your own reputation, this could be an interesting move.

  • The philosophy is:
  • Don't just become a good recruiter. Become known for something.

  • That includes:✈ Conferences and industry events🍽 Client and candidate dinners
  • Face-to-face meetings
  • Team meet-ups and off-sites
  • The culture is high-performing without being "sharky". People are expected to perform, but also to share knowledge and support each other.
