Executive Recruiter

Job Description

Executive Recruiter

Your Next Chapter Starts Here

You have spent years earning the trust of executives and landing the candidates others cannot. Now imagine doing that work with direct access to decision-makers, a clear line between your results and your rewards, and a team of colleagues who help you win.

Lauber Business Partners is looking for a senior-level Executive Recruiter who thrives on both sides of the desk: winning new clients and delivering exceptional placements. You will originate opportunities, advise leaders, run the search, and close the hire, while collaborating with a broader team that shares clients, market insight, and best practices.

Why You Will Love This Role

• Control over your earnings. Your results drive your income, and you decide how to build your pipeline and grow your book of business
• A collaborative team. Share market intelligence, leads, and best practices with colleagues who succeed when you succeed, and who expect you to do the same
• Results that are visible and rewarded. Your success is measured by revenue, margin, and placements, and you have the opportunity to build a substantial book of business
• Full-cycle ownership. From the first discovery meeting through offer, acceptance, and onboarding, you own the client and candidate experience
• A seat at the table. Contribute alongside your teammates to the growth of a firm offering executive search, direct professional search, and interim solutions
• Direct access to leaders. Advise business owners and executives on talent strategy, compensation trends, and leadership hiring

What You Will Do

Win the Work

• Open doors with business owners, executives, and referral partners through networking, prospecting, and discovery meetings
• Present Lauber’s search and interim solutions, shape proposals, and negotiate engagements that are profitable and valuable to the client
• Turn great placements into repeat business and referrals

Deliver the Search

• Lead executive, management, and professional-level searches from intake to placement
• Map the market, engage passive and active talent, and assess candidates for skills, leadership, and fit
• Present compelling candidate slates and guide clients and candidates through interviews, offers, references, and onboarding

Be the Trusted Advisor

• Serve as the primary point of contact on your engagements, with regular updates to clients and your team on progress and market conditions
• Manage expectations, solve problems early, and keep the client and candidate experience exceptional
• Maintain clean data in Zoho Recruit and CRM, and build talent communities within your focus areas that the broader team can draw on

How Success Is Measured

We keep it simple: business impact and financial results

• You will be measured on the revenue and gross margin you generate, new clients and engagements you secure, and the quality of your searches, including placement rate, time-to-fill, offer acceptance, and client satisfaction
• If you like a scoreboard you can influence, you will feel at home here

Qualifications

• 8+ years in executive search, professional recruiting, retained search, or talent acquisition
• A track record of managing full-cycle engagements and building consultative client relationships
• Confidence leading discovery meetings and conversations with senior leaders
• Exceptional communication, interviewing, and candidate assessment skills
• Fluency with applicant tracking systems, CRM platforms, LinkedIn Recruiter, and Microsoft Office
• A bachelor’s degree in Business, Human Resources, Finance, Accounting, Marketing, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience

Preferred Skills

• Experience recruiting accounting, finance, executive leadership, or professional services talent.
• A background in a search firm, staffing organization, or consulting environment
• An existing network in finance, accounting, or professional services, and a history of generating business through it
• Familiarity with Zoho Recruit and Zoho CRM
