What are the responsibilities and job description for the Talent Recruiter/Inside Sales - Behavioral Health position at Back To Basics Behavioral Health Services Inc.?
Talent Recruiter / Inside Sales — Behavioral Health (In-Office – Kennebunk, ME)
Back to Basics Behavioral Health Services | Effective $26–$30/hr at target performance | $18.90/hr base $81 per hire, no cap
We're hiring two recruiters who want to own a pipeline, not just answer phones. If you've worked in inside sales, talent acquisition, or any role where your numbers were the scoreboard — and you liked it that way — keep reading.
Why this role exists
Every child on the Maine waitlist is in need of a Behavioral Health Professional we haven't hired yet. Recruiting at Back to Basics is mission-critical. Every BHP we hire is the difference between a child staying on the waitlist and a child getting support. The faster and better you hire, the more kids in Maine get the help they need.
We've spent the last six months rebuilding our recruiting system from the ground up. Structured outreach cadences, clear scripts, real scorecards, a renovated Asana pipeline, and a tested Group Q&A format that produces better candidates. Your job is to run that system with discipline — and help us make it sharper.
What you'll actually do
- Run an initial outreach cadence on every new lead — text, call, voicemail, follow-up — and reach the candidates who are ready to work
- Host your own Group Q&A sessions (we'll train you on how to run them)
- Conduct structured 1-on-1 interviews using a tested rubric, and document your decisions clearly
- Work an applicant ledger of 16,000 past leads to surface candidates we missed the first time
- Track everything in Asana, hit your conversion targets, and flag what isn't working
We want you focused on what only you can do — finding and qualifying great people.
How the pay works
- $18.90/hour base $81 commission for every hire you bring in. No cap.
- Realistic earning ranges based on performance:
- Solid execution: ~$26/hr effective (~$54,000/year)
- Top execution: ~$30 /hr effective (~$62,000 /year)
- The more hires you produce, the more you earn. There is no ceiling, and we don't penalize you for being good at this.
Who thrives here
- You move fast. A new lead comes in, you've already texted within a few minutes, and called within two hours. Two-hour response windows aren't a guideline to you — they're a personal standard.
- You see systems, not just tasks. When something breaks, your instinct is to fix the process, not just push through. You enjoy figuring out why the cadence stalled on Tuesday and adjusting Wednesday.
- You bring energy to people. Every Q&A group you run, every call you make — candidates feel like they're talking to someone who genuinely believes in the work. Because you do.
- You like a clear scoreboard. Knowing exactly how you're performing and what it's worth motivates you. Ambiguity frustrates you.
- You welcome change. We update playbooks, refine scripts, and improve the pipeline often. You see those updates as upgrades, not disruptions.
- You hold a high bar — for yourself first. You'd rather be told you're 80% there with a clear path to 100% than told you're great when you're not.
Who this isn't for
If you're looking for a quiet 9-to-5 where the day looks the same every time, this isn't the role. We move quickly, we measure outcomes, and we expect recruiters to take ownership of their numbers. Most days are great. Some days are hard. Both kinds matter.

- Comfortable on the phone and on video (Microsoft Teams)
- Background checks required
- Inside sales, recruiting, talent acquisition, customer service, or front-desk experience helpful but not required — we train you on the system

What you can expect from us
- Paid training before you're expected to perform
- A team that builds tools to make your job easier, not harder
- Clear, transparent metrics — you always know where you stand
