With a strong focus on growth, we provide ample opportunities for career development and prioritize promoting from within. We believe that leaders should care deeply about the development of their employees at all levels, emphasizing emotional intelligence and accountability. Our leaders collaborate closely to ensure the success of their teams, and we work together to achieve shared goals, creating a challenging and rewarding workplace for everyone.

Please note - this role is hybrid (three days per week in office) so we are only considering candidates within commutable distance of Boston

About the Role

• This is a role for someone who wants to build a career in sales, not just take a job - Bullhorn has a genuine track record of developing Account Executives into senior sales talent, and promoting from within
• Reporting to our Regional Sales Manager, you'll own your patch like it's your own business: your pipeline, your targets, your strategy for winning it
• You'll be finding, developing, and closing new business with staffing and recruitment firms, using your growing expertise in the industry to become a trusted advisor, not just a vendor
• This is a hybrid role, three days a week in our Boston office - we're only considering candidates within commuting distance

A typical day will include

• Generating your own pipeline through outbound prospecting - cold calls, email campaigns, social selling - and treating it like the engine of your own business
• Getting in front of key decision-makers at small-to-medium staffing firms and making Bullhorn's value impossible to ignore
• Diagnosing a prospect's real challenges and positioning the right Bullhorn solution, building the kind of trust that turns a deal into a long-term partnership
• Owning your numbers: tracking activity, managing a disciplined pipeline in CRM, and learning from every win and loss to sharpen your craft
• Working closely with a manager invested in your development - this role comes with structured coaching, mentorship, and a clear runway to progress

This role is a fit for you if...

• You've got around 6 months' experience in the staffing/recruitment industry, or in tech/SaaS/software sales - either background gives you a real head start here
• You want more than a job - you're looking for a career where tenure and results are rewarded with real progression
• You love building relationships and have a track record of solving problems and winning people over
• You can manage a full pipeline of inbound and outbound leads without dropping the ball
• You're hungry for coaching and mentorship, and want to keep developing your sales skill-set
• You bring fresh, entrepreneurial thinking to prospecting and your sales process, and treat your desk like it's your own business to grow

The on-target earnings (OTE) for this role are $90,000 - $100,000, including a base salary of $50,000 - $60,000 plus commission, in addition to a comprehensive benefits package.
