Lead Recruiter Job Opening at FireSeeds

Client Summary:

We recruit, we develop, and we are Multiplying Leaders. This is our vision, our brand, and this is how we believe we will impact the world. To be clear, a Multiplying Leader is someone who has high character, high drive, and a burning desire to invest their lives through building people.

FireSeeds recruits mid to executive level leaders for high-growth purpose-driven organizations that have a culture that cares for and develops people. We differentiate ourselves from other recruitment firms by vetting top talent, whose core values match those of our clients. We don’t think our clients should have to choose between talent and culture when they make the decision to bring on a new leader.

The right individual will see this as an opportunity to live out their purpose and calling and be part of a team that is growing an explosive brand that will leave a mark on this world. We are in high-growth mode and need to bring on board another very talented multiplying leader who will be fired up to live this vision out with us.

Position Objective/Key responsibilities:

The role we need is titled “Lead Recruiter” and will have the following three core responsibilities.

Recruiting: You will need to be able to work in a team focused, ever changing, autonomous environment while you “own your business” within FireSeeds. You will ultimately be responsible for placing qualified candidates in response to client’s hiring needs. You need to be excellent at driving a very clear, measured, and relational process to source, vet, and qualify mid level to executive level candidates.

Client Engagement: You must be able to confidently and professionally lead executive boardroom conversations with mom and pop CEOs and Fortune 500 executive teams. We want a leader who will see every engagement with a client as an opportunity to serve and build a relationship while delivering our service with excellence and passion. Initial search expectations, weekly phone call updates, and final placements are all led by the Lead Recruiter.

Business Development: You will be expected to grow a portion of your business through actively networking and communicating FireSeeds’ unique offering to potential clients for the purpose of creating new partnerships.

Key Character traits

• High character and integrity
• Passion for impacting people 
• Self motivated and incredibly driven 
• Excellent one-on-one communication skills
• Positive and persevering attitude
• Attention to detail with high follow through
• The ability to balance focused head down time with dynamic client engagement

Day in the Life:

This is not your typical 9-to-5 job. Every day and every week will be different with exciting challenges that come from serving such a broad range of organizations. You will be leading 5-8 boutique, mostly retained, searches at a time.

Read the following list to help you determine if you have what it takes to deliver results in this role:

• Identifying client’s specific expectations for their hiring needs.
• Using foundational search engines and sourcing techniques to identify potential candidates.
• Hustle. All phone calls, emails, and meetings are geared towards representing the client and finding strong applicants.
• Working directly with the client to identify, vet, and maintain interest with ideal candidates. Also responsible for communicating with applicants who will not be moving forward in the process.
• Consistently updating the client and collaborating with the FireSeeds team to ensure that goals are met.
• Working with both the client and candidate in regards to interview specifics, contract negotiations, and confirming final offer letter.

Very little is left unmeasured as we review clear goals weekly and monthly with formal quarterly evaluations. Every Quarter, we take a full day, and review the previous Quarter’s results. Our company must produce, but not at the expense of our culture.

We are big on developing each other 360° inside the company. We take a half day (on the clock) every Quarter for you to review your personal roles and goals in all areas of your life.

If you don’t want to be challenged to grow aggressively both professionally and personally, then this is not the place for you.

Education & Key Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree is required.
• 2+ years of recruiting experience is required. 
• Background in inside sales would also be valued.
• Track record in business development is very advantageous.

Compensation:

• Compensation is a combination of Base + Commission, and will be based on your level of recruiting experience.

Benefits:
