Director, Business Development

About Procom :


We started in Toronto in 1978 with a simple idea: connect the right people with the right work. Nearly five decades later, that idea has grown into a $1.5 billion North American enterprise - and the mission hasn't changed. At Procom, our purpose is to help people make progress. That means something real to us: we invest in the experience of every person in our ecosystem, from the contractors we place to the clients we serve to the people who build their careers here. We operate two distinct, market-facing service lines - Consulting Services, which places specialized technology and professional talent across contract, direct hire, and statement of work engagements, and Workforce Solutions, which delivers Employer of Record and Agent of Record programs for enterprises where contingent labor is central to how work gets done. We've earned ClearlyRated's Best of Staffing recognition from both the client and talent sides of our business for more than ten consecutive years. We're independently owned, which means decisions get made by people who think in decades, not quarters - and the people who drive our growth are treated accordingly.

Why Procom

• Earning Structure : You're compensated at the close and rewarded as the account grows. The model combines an upfront bonus at MSA execution with milestone-based bonuses tied to GM performance as the client relationship matures - creating a multi-year earning window on every account you bring in. For a seller who closes the right accounts and stays engaged through the growth phase, the upside is substantial.

• A Platform Worth Selling : Procom's differentiation is real and defensible - proprietary technology, deep compliance infrastructure, and a contractor experience model that buyers in regulated industries consistently respond to. You're not selling on price.
• Hybrid Work Model : A modern hybrid structure that supports both client-facing travel and focused independent work.
• Remote Flexibility : Work temporarily from another approved location for up to two weeks each year.
• Comprehensive Benefits : Full health and benefits coverage, mental health resources, and preferred pricing on perks through third-party providers.
