Account Executive (Business Development)

We’re looking for someone focused purely on the client side of the business — building relationships, opening doors, winning searches, and growing accounts. This role is centered around business development and account management, partnering closely with recruiting teams to deliver results.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Prospect and develop new client relationships (outbound, referrals, network)

• Pitch and win new searches and staffing partnerships

• Build relationships with hiring managers, executives, and decision-makers

• Expand existing accounts and uncover new hiring needs

• Partner closely with recruiting teams to drive successful delivery

• Run a disciplined BD process with consistent outreach and follow-through

• Create a high-touch client experience and long-term partnerships

Who You Are

• Entrepreneurial and driven — you want to build something

• Competitive — you enjoy winning business and growing accounts

• Strong communicator — confident with executives and hiring leaders

• Organized — you run a tight process and stay proactive

• Resilient — comfortable with persistence and long sales cycles

What You Bring

• 3 years of staffing, recruiting, or B2B sales experience

• Proven ability to generate new business and build client relationships

• Strong outbound and relationship-building skills

• Experience working in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment

• Bachelor’s degree preferred

• Self-starter mindset

Why Kinect

• Uncapped commission — your output drives your earnings

• High ownership and autonomy

• Small, entrepreneurial team with strong visibility

• Opportunity to help shape and grow the business

• Boutique, relationship-driven environment instead of a large corporate structure
