Job Description


Account Executive, IT & F&A Staffing

3+ years staffing industry experience required

Location: NYC preferred | Hybrid or Remote Flexibility | Local candidates strongly preferred

Are you a staffing leader or sales pro ready to build something impactful?

We’re hiring for an Account Executive to lead new business development, nurture client relationships, and deliver high-touch staffing solutions in IT and/or Finance & Accounting verticals. This is an opportunity to join a stable, experienced, and growing team focused on thoughtful expansion and client partnership—not transactional volume.

What you will do:

  • Drive new business opportunities and expand existing accounts.

  • Sell contract and direct hire staffing services across IT and/or F&A.

  • Collaborate with a recruiting team or run a full desk—your choice.

  • Maintain a consultative approach with clients; no VMS, no high-volume submittals.

  • Submit qualified, well-vetted candidates (typically 1–3 per req).

  • Leverage tools including LinkedIn Recruiter and a 20K+ profile ATS.

  • Participate in weekly team touchpoints and contribute to a collaborative culture.

What we’re looking for:

  • 3+ years of proven success in staffing sales (IT and/or F&A strongly preferred).

  • Strong business development skills with the ability to build client relationships.

  • Flexibility to operate in a BD-only, full desk, or player/coach role.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset with interest in long-term growth.

  • Comfortable working in a boutique environment where impact matters.

Required:

  • Staffing industry sales experience (3+ years).

  • Background in contract staffing preferred; direct hire experience a plus.

  • No non-compete required; a portable book of business is a bonus, not a must.

What you get:

  • Base salary: $80K–$120K (flexible for player/coach or those with a book).

  • Commission: 10% on dollar one, tiering to 12% and 14% throughout the year.

  • Access to proven systems and a seasoned support team.

  • The freedom to build your desk and structure your role to your strengths.

  • A people-first culture with strong tenure and low turnover.

This is your opportunity to join a high-integrity team and help shape its continued growth.
