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
