Identify candidates with demonstrated performance rather than relying solely on resume keywords. Assess candidates against defined scorecards and role-specific success profiles. Understand sales metrics, quotas, KPIs, close rates, lead flow, revenue, and other performance indicators. Identify red flags and know when to move a candidate forward versus cut them from the process. Sales Talent Acquisition Become deeply familiar with high-ticket sales roles and the characteristics of top-performing setters, closers, sales directors, and sales leaders.

You're comfortable working in an environment where priorities can move quickly. You can communicate professionally with candidates at every level. You're proactive.

You're looking for a slow-moving corporate environment with six approval layers before anything gets done. You have never recruited before and are looking for your first opportunity in Talent Acquisition. Long-Term You become one of the people Curvion Blue relies on to answer: "We need five great salespeople. Where are they?" And your answer is: "Already working on it." The Person We're Looking For We're not looking for someone who simply wants to "work in HR". We're looking for a talent hunter . Someone who enjoys the chase. Someone who can look at a LinkedIn profile and immediately start thinking: "This person might be good. Let me find out." You should enjoy talking to people, asking good questions, spotting potential, and figuring out what makes someone tick. You should be competitive enough to care about winning the search, analytical enough to care about hiring quality, and organized enough to keep the machine running. If you've sold before, you'll probably have a natural advantage here because you already understand how to build rapport, overcome objections, create urgency, and influence decisions. If you've sold high-ticket, even better. You already understand the world our candidates operate in. At Curvion Blue, we're building revenue engines for our clients. That requires exceptional people. Your job is to help us find them. Monday to Friday 9AM - 6 PM (specific to your time zone) Compensation Range: $50K - $80K #J-18808-Ljbffr
