Help Grow an Established Recruiting Firm While Building the Next Chapter Most business development jobs ask you to go build something from scratch. This isn't one of them.

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys people. Someone who likes being in front of clients, attending events, making introductions, having lunch meetings, and becoming a trusted presence in the business community.

This role is ideal for someone who is naturally outgoing but doesn't rely solely on personality to get results. The best fit will be: Comfortable meeting new people and building relationships Dependable and accountable Self-motivated and able to work independently Persistent without being pushy Organized and consistent with follow-up Professional and trustworthy Able to exercise good judgment Patient enough to understand that business development is a long game Let's be honest: not every day produces an immediate win. Some of the best client relationships begin with conversations that don't turn into business for months. We're looking for someone who understands that business development is less about convincing people and more about earning the right to help them. What Makes This Opportunity Different? You'll join an established company with a strong foundation, existing clients, and experienced recruiters who know the market. You'll learn the recruiting business from professionals who have built successful careers doing it. For the right person, this role can also become a pathway into recruiting, creating the opportunity to build skills in both business development and talent acquisition. This role is primarily remote but must be local to the Greater New Orleans area. That said, we're not looking for someone who wants to spend every day at home behind a computer. We want someone who enjoys being out in the market—visiting clients, meeting prospects, attending events, and building relationships face-to-face. One Last Thing We're not looking for the loudest person in the room. We're looking for the person who does what they say they're going to do, follows up when others don't, and earns trust one conversation at a time. If you're energized by people, committed to building relationships, and willing to put in the work required to earn long-term success, we'd love to talk. #J-18808-Ljbffr
