Navigate Search – New York Metro Area | Hybrid or Remote

About the Role:

Navigate Search is expanding its national presence across Manufacturing, Engineering, and Supply Chain, and we're looking for an entrepreneurial, sales-driven recruiter who knows how to build business.

This is not a warm desk. We're not looking for someone to simply manage a book of existing requisitions. We're looking for someone who can develop new client relationships, generate new business, expand existing accounts, and/or bring a portable book of clients with them.

You'll have the platform, resources, recruiting infrastructure, and leadership support to build a highly profitable vertical — but the expectation is that you own the business development and revenue-generation side of the equation.

Whether you have an established network of manufacturing, engineering, or supply chain clients or you're an experienced recruiter ready to make the transition into a more entrepreneurial role, this is an opportunity to build your own business within Navigate Search.

What You'll Do:

• Develop new business within Manufacturing, Engineering, Supply Chain, and related industrial markets
• Prospect, open, and develop relationships with new clients across the U.S.
• Leverage your existing network and relationships to bring over and expand client accounts
• Identify companies with hiring needs and turn those opportunities into revenue
• Build and grow a book of business within a defined industrial niche
• Own client relationships from initial business development through delivery and account growth
• Partner with our recruiting team to deliver exceptional candidates against the business you generate
• Expand existing accounts by identifying additional hiring managers, divisions, and business units
• Develop a market strategy around areas such as manufacturing operations, engineering, supply chain, procurement, logistics, and plant leadership
• Become a trusted advisor to clients by understanding their workforce challenges, hiring cycles, and talent markets

The Markets:

We specialize in high-value industrial talent markets, including:

• Manufacturing: Plant Management, Operations, Production, Lean/Six Sigma
• Engineering: Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Process, Manufacturing
• Supply Chain: Planning, Procurement, Logistics, S&OP, Operations
• Leadership: Plant Leadership, Operations Leadership, Supply Chain Management, Engineering Leadership

What We're Looking For:

• 3–5+ years of recruiting experience in Manufacturing, Engineering, Supply Chain, Industrial, or a related market
• A strong business-development mindset and genuine interest in sales
• Demonstrated ability to develop client relationships and generate new business
• An existing network or portable book of clients is highly valued
• Comfortable prospecting, cold calling, networking, and creating opportunities rather than xhyhwjd waiting for them
• Entrepreneurial, self-directed, competitive, and motivated by uncapped earning potential
• Strong understanding of technical, operational, or industrial talent markets
• Ability to build long-term relationships with hiring managers and decision-makers

What We Offer:

• Competitive base + uncapped commission — up to 50% of billings
• Significant earning potential tied directly to the business you generate
• The opportunity to bring over and build your own book of clients
• Recruiting and delivery support so you can stay focused on business development and relationships
• National market opportunity — you are not limited to the NY/NJ market
• Leadership support and mentorship without micromanagement
• Hybrid work model with NY/NJ coworking access
• Opportunity to build and eventually lead your own vertical or practice
• Defined progression into Practice Leadership, Managing Director, or niche subject-matter expertise
