This is a business you own, not a job we're filling. Goodwin Recruiting partners are independent business owners who build and run their own recruiting practices on Goodwin's platform. Goodwin funds the tools, the business launch, and the infrastructure. No recruiting experience required, and we mean it: some of our highest billers never recruited before Goodwin.

Built for people who build relationships. Our partners come from sales, operations, hospitality, and industries across the map. What they share is a career built on relationships: knowing an industry, knowing its people, and being the one others call when they need someone good. If that's how you've worked, you already have the hard half of recruiting. Goodwin teaches the rest.

The model, stated plainly. This is a 100% commission business. You keep roughly half of everything you bill, with no cap. Your income potential is unlimited. You'd be self-employed, what the IRS calls a 1099 independent contractor: no W-2, no withholding. No salary. No benefits. You own the outcome, and the upside.

What Goodwin funds:

● A full LinkedIn Recruiter RPS seat with 140 InMails a month

● Training, mentorship, and a partner community of 300

● The recruiting tech platform and marketing support

● Billing, collections, and the administrative back office

Fair question: is this legit? Yes. No buy-in. No inventory. No downline. You earn when clients hire the people you place. Goodwin Recruiting was founded by Eric Goodwin in 1999 and has been built on relationships and integrity for 27 years, with more than 300 active partners.

"I'd tell them it's the best career move I've made, but I'd also tell them it's not easy. You're building your own business, and nobody's going to hand it to you. There are definitely days when you question yourself, especially in the beginning, but if you're willing to put in the work, it's absolutely worth it." Cassandra Williams, Partner, Manufacturing, 18 months

Who does well here:

● Self-starters from sales, operations, and other relationship-driven careers

● People ready to build something of their own and treat it like a business

● Relationship builders who know an industry and its people

If you're looking for a salaried recruiting job, a W-2 role with benefits, or an internal talent acquisition seat, this isn't it, and that's by design.

What happens next. Apply and you'll receive an email invitation to register for a live 30-minute info session, held Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 3 PM ET. No obligation.
