Senior Technical Recruiter

Job Description

MMD Services is a boutique IT staffing firm based in downtown Chicago with over 20 years in business and a tenured leadership and sales team.

\n

\n

We recruit mid-level through executive IT talent across long-term contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire, all non-VMS. You work directly with real hiring managers on real, open reqs, not a portal. Our client base spans Chicagoland and countless other states across finance, e-commerce, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, distribution, IT Consulting, SaaS, and more.

\n

\n

We built MMD the opposite way and we've stayed small on purpose. Every recruiter works real reqs with real hiring managers, backed by leadership still in the business every day. You get real support to build relationships that last. We are not order takers, at MMD every recruiter is a strategic decision maker.

\n

\n

We do not mass-submit resumes hoping something sticks. Every submission we send protects a relationship that took years to build. That is why our recruiters stick around and why our clients keep coming back, year after year.

\n

\n

What You'll Do:

\n

\n

\n
• Run full-cycle technical recruiting across contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire (not 360)
\n
• Source and qualify candidates from Desktop Support up through Director and VP-level technical roles
\n
• Lead intake calls with hiring managers. Ask sharp questions. Bring market insight, not just resumes

\n
• Negotiate and close offers working directly with clients and candidates from intro through guarantee
\n
• Build talent pipelines that outlast any single req
\n
• Stay in touch with contractors after placement to catch issues early and keep clients happy
\n
• Generate leads and referrals through your own network to help grow the client base
\n

\n

\n

What You Bring:

\n

\n

\n
• 3+ years agency recruiting experience with proven full-cycle placements
\n
• Money motivated and competitive attitude in a highly competitive industry
\n
• Comfortable owning the process from intake to close
\n
• A consultative approach, not a transactional black and white process
\n
• Strong phone and interview presence paired with the confidence to influence
\n
• Strong negotiating and closing skills
\n
• Ability to multitask and stay sharp in a fast-paced environment
\n
• Self-starter who tracks their own numbers
\n
• Existing network in IT or technical staffing is a plus
\n

• Two decades of proof that quality over volume builds real, repeatable income instead of one-off wins
\n

\n
• A clear trajectory from producer to senior producer to team lead, tracked by what you close and who you help develop
\n
