Job Description
Account Executive, Staffing Industry - Remote/Midwest
Join a fast-growing, privately held staffing firm led by industry veterans who have built and scaled high-performing regions for some of the largest names in staffing.
Their philosophy is simple — no hierarchy, no politics, no excuses. They are building an organization where everyone produces, collaborates, and shares in the wins. Titles don’t matter - results do.
We’re seeking an Account Executive to join a growing team and help drive national expansion across IT, F&A, Construction, and emerging verticals like Life Sciences and Engineering.
This is an immediate need for a true producer: Someone who loves sales, thrives in a collaborative environment, and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves. As an Account Executive, you’ll focus on building new business and expanding existing relationships, supported by a tenured team of recruiters who deliver results.
What You’ll Do
- Drive new business development in IT, Finance & Accounting, Construction Management, and related verticals.
- Manage the full client lifecycle — prospecting, qualifying, negotiating, and delivering top-tier staffing solutions.
- Partner closely with recruiters in a true split-desk model, ensuring strong collaboration and communication.
- Engage directly with consultants and candidates when needed
- Build and maintain relationships with mid-market and enterprise clients, including Fortune 200 companies.
- Help shape market strategy and future vertical focus as our client continues to scale nationally.
What you need:
- A self-starter with 3–7 years of staffing industry experience — ideally in IT, F&A, or skilled trades.
- A former recruiter turned salesperson (preferred) who understands both sides of the desk.
- A problem-solver. You bring a solutions mindset and don’t make excuses.
- Collaborative, coachable, and competitive; you lead by example and elevate the people around you.
- Experienced selling Corp-to-Corp or contract staffing solutions; comfortable working nationally.
- Ability to thrive in a small, entrepreneurial environment where your impact is visible and your hustle matters.
Why You’ll Love It:
- Flat, no-ego culture: Egos are checked at the door.
- Uncapped earnings: 10% commission on your GP from dollar one + base salary increases tied to production milestones.
- Growth framework: Clear path from Account Executive to Account Director with overrides on team performance.
- Incredible benefits:
- 401(k) with 5% company match
- Laptop and tech provided
- Cell allowance ($75/month)
- Gym reimbursement ($30/month)
- PTO: 2 weeks in year one, then unlimited PTO after your first year
- Family-first flexibility - results matter more than hours logged
If you’re ready to sell, collaborate, and grow in an environment where hustle and character come first, we want to meet you!
