Executive Recruiter Opportunity

This is an opportunity for a motivated recruiting professional who enjoys building relationships, uncovering exceptional talent, and helping companies solve difficult hiring challenges across a variety of industries. This is an agency recruiting position supporting a diverse portfolio of client companies across industries including professional services, technical and skilled trades.

This position offers the opportunity to make a direct impact on both our clients and candidates while growing your recruiting career with a collaborative, entrepreneurial team. At Olive Recruiting, we believe recruiting is about building lasting relationships—not simply filling positions. We're looking for someone who shares that philosophy and takes pride in making meaningful connections that benefit both our clients and candidates.
