About the Client

Our Client is a fast-growing US-focused fintech and payments company delivering point-of-sale (POS) hardware solutions and payment-processing optimization to small and medium-sized businesses across the United States. To support rapid merchant acquisition across US territories, our client is building a scalable recruiting engine to continuously identify, hire, and onboard high-performing sales talent. Operating with an entrepreneurial, growth-focused culture, our client provides high operational ownership, structured training, direct executive access, and clear metric-driven goals.

Job Overview

Our Client is seeking a proactive, results-driven Sales Recruitment Specialist to own the full lifecycle sourcing, screening, interviewing, and onboarding coordination of commission-only Sales Representatives across the United States. Reporting directly to company executive leadership, this professional will build and maintain a high-volume candidate pipeline - combining active headhunting with funnel metric analysis to consistently convert qualified sales candidates into active, productive hires.

Key Responsibilities

• Continuously sources and headhunts commission-only Sales Representatives across target US markets using LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, professional networks, social media, and cold outbound sourcing channels.
• Builds and maintains a robust candidate pipeline rather than relying solely on inbound applications.
• Proactively engages passive sales professionals, clearly conveying role expectations, commission compensation structures, territory potential, and corporate value propositions.

Screening, Qualification & Candidate Experience

• Conducts initial structured candidate screenings and comprehensive interviews in English.
• Evaluates candidates for outbound sales capability, field prospecting experience, resilience, field-sales readiness, and alignment with a high-upside commission model.
• Manages interview logistics, offer communications, pre-onboarding follow-up, and formal training handoffs to eliminate candidate drop-off and interview no-shows.

Funnel Metrics, ATS Management & Executive Collaboration

• Tracks and analyzes complete recruiting funnel metrics, monitoring contact response rates, candidate advancement rates, training start rates, and early retention.
• Identifies pipeline bottlenecks and recommends strategic adjustments to sourcing messaging, screening criteria, and onboarding handoffs.
• Maintains accurate candidate records, interview dispositions, and sourcing activity within the firm's Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
• Collaborates directly with company leadership to refine target candidate profiles, sourcing channels, and regional hiring priorities.

Required Qualifications

• Sales Recruiting Experience: Minimum 2+ years of dedicated talent acquisition or recruiting experience, featuring a proven track record sourcing and hiring sales professionals.

• Advanced English Proficiency (C1): Near-native or advanced written and spoken English skills to independently conduct structured interviews with US-based candidates.
• Metrics-Driven & Detail-Oriented: Comfort managing a high-volume pipeline according to recruitment KPIs, candidate tracking metrics, and funnel conversion rates.
