A Little About This Gig:

We hire entry-level Associates for our Winter (January) and Summer (June) Cohorts.

During the 12-week Associate Academy, you’ll gain hands-on IT recruiting experience with the opportunity to earn commissions, and then graduate to a Talent Executive role upon completion of training. From there, you can grow into an Account Executive position based on your professional goals and performance. With clear promotional pathways and incentivized milestones, growth is our top priority!

The Talent Executive is the first point of contact with candidates as they navigate through the experience of finding career opportunities. Working directly with the technical community, you will create relationships with job seekers and passive candidates, helping to educate them on the current market, introduce them to hiring managers, and act as a consult to them as they negotiate employment opportunities and offers.

The Account Executive works directly with clients to drive business development through a consultative approach. With a deeper understanding of the IT industry, you will build long-term relationships with hiring managers, consult with them on their unique business needs, and work in partnership with Talent Executives to connect clients with top talent or technology solutions.
