About the Opportunity

SGA Talent is looking for a driven, sharp, early-career professional to join our team in a role built for growth. This isn't a job where you'll be stuck doing one thing — you'll work directly with our CEO and leadership team across recruiting, sales, and internal operations, learning the staffing and recruiting business from the ground up. What you put into this role is exactly what you'll get out of it: the more initiative you show, the more responsibility, mentorship, and opportunity you'll earn.

This is an ideal fit for a recent college graduate who wants real exposure to how a growing firm operates — not a narrow, siloed entry-level gig.

What You'll Do:

• Recruiting: Source, screen, and engage candidates for a variety of roles across our client base; learn to evaluate talent and match it to business needs.
• Sales & Business Development: Support outreach to prospective clients, help build and maintain relationships, and contribute to growing SGA Talent's book of business.
• Internal Coordination: Help keep the team organized — scheduling, tracking pipelines, coordinating projects, and making sure things don't fall through the cracks.
• Direct Mentorship: Work closely with the CEO and senior team members, gaining hands-on exposure to how strategic decisions are made in a staffing firm.
• Learn the Business: Build a genuine understanding of the recruiting and staffing industry — from candidate sourcing to client development to firm operations — with a clear path to grow into greater ownership as you prove yourself.

What We're Looking For:

• Recent college graduate (or equivalent experience) eager to start a career in recruiting, sales, or business operations.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can represent the firm professionally with clients and candidates alike.
• Comfortable with technology; quick to learn new tools, platforms, and systems (CRM, ATS, sourcing tools, etc).
• Results-driven mindset — you care about outcomes, not just activity.
• High willingness to learn, take feedback, and adapt.
• Self-starter energy — someone who sees ambiguity as an opportunity, not an obstacle.
• No prior staffing/recruiting experience required — we'll teach you the business.

Why Join SGA Talent:

• SGA is a top 250 Recruiting Firm Globally.
• Direct mentorship and daily collaboration with firm leadership — not buried in a large team with no visibility.
• A true growth track: this role is designed to expand in scope and responsibility as you develop.
• Exposure to every part of the business — recruiting, sales, and operations — giving you a well-rounded foundation few entry-level roles offer.
• A results-oriented culture where initiative is noticed and rewarded.

If you feel you are up for this role and ready to be part of one of the best teams in the country apply now.

This is not a remote role. It is on-site in our office in Saratoga Springs, New York.
