Ambassador Group Is Hiring: Recruiter

Ambassador Group is seeking a senior recruiter whose core strength is opening doors—identifying, engaging, and earning trust with high-performing, passive leaders through tenacious, creative, and deeply human cold outreach.

This is not an applicant-driven role.
This is not a "manage inbound and move fast" environment.

This role is for a hunter—someone who takes pride in starting conversations where none existed, sustaining momentum through silence, and converting curiosity into meaningful career moves.

This is a full-time, remote role open to candidates in the United States with reliable high-speed internet.

Compensation:
$60K–$80K draw against commission, with uncapped upside once the draw is met.

THE OPPORTUNITY

You may be a strong fit if:

• You have repeatedly filled senior leadership roles ($160K ) by going out into the market

• You are energized by identifying the right person—not just the available one

• You enjoy the puzzle of relevance, timing, and message crafting

• You know how to follow up thoughtfully, persist professionally, and stay present without being transactional

• You are frustrated by roles where recruiting means reacting instead of pursuing

At Ambassador Group, we believe the most meaningful placements start with earned conversations—not job applications.

You will be supported by a team, but the hunt is yours.

ROLE OVERVIEW

As a Recruiter at Ambassador Group, you will:

• Originate candidate pipelines through targeted, creative cold outreach to passive senior leaders

• Research, map, and pursue specific individuals—not generic personas

• Craft outreach that sparks curiosity and trust, not mass responses

• Sustain long-cycle pursuit through disciplined follow-up and re-engagement

• Initiate confidential career conversations with people who were not planning to move

• Conduct deep, consultative Get-To-Know-You (GTKY) conversations to uncover motivators, misalignments, and readiness

• Guide candidates through interview strategy, preparation, negotiation, and transition

• Present candidates to clients with clear narrative framing around impact, leadership, and long-term fit

• Partner with internal team members who support sourcing execution, operations, and coordination—so you stay focused on candidate relationships

WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT

To be explicit, this role is not:

• Managing a high volume of inbound applicants

• Moving candidates quickly through a transactional funnel

• Matching resumes to job descriptions

• Dependent on job postings to generate results

Success here comes from initiative, persistence, and judgment.

WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR

This role is intentionally designed for someone who:

• Has a demonstrated track record of hunting and closing $160K placements

• Is comfortable with ambiguity and long timelines

• Enjoys earning responses rather than expecting them

• Thinks about recruiting as market engagement, not task completion

• Wants to focus on candidate origination and advisory work—not being a solo one-person agency

HARD SKILLS

• Cold outreach to passive, senior-level talent (email, phone, LinkedIn)

• Market mapping and targeted pursuit strategies

• Executive interview preparation and compensation negotiation

• Strategic candidate positioning and storytelling

• Applicant tracking systems (Crelate preferred)

• Clear, persuasive written communication

SOFT SKILLS

• Tenacious: You follow up with intention and discipline

• Curious: You dig for alignment beneath surface interest

• High EQ: You earn trust with people who didn't ask to be recruited

• Strategic: You know when to press, pause, or reframe

• Accountable: You own outcomes, not just activity

ABOUT THE COMPANY

• Consultative recruiting firm focused on high-impact, long-term placements

• Known for deep candidate engagement and strategic hiring partnerships

• Specializes in leadership hiring, particularly within high-end construction and adjacent industries

• Built on the belief that meaningful work and meaningful relationships create thriving businesses

CULTURE INSIGHTS

• Values humility, initiative, and emotional intelligence

• Core values: people-people, obsessed with excellence, hungry for humility

• High standards, low ego, strong internal trust

Salary : $160,000
