Realistic Year 1 OTE: $80,000–$120,000

If you’re a proven salesperson looking to step into a high-earning, performance-driven environment, this is an opportunity to build a lucrative career in recruitment within a business that operates like a start-up but has serious financial backing behind it.

This is a financially backed, international recruitment business specialising in Technology, Energy, and Construction markets. The Austin office has a close-knit, highly social team culture (people here are genuine friends) and they’re now looking to hire four ambitious sales professionals to join the team.

You won’t be joining a corporate machine. You’ll be part of a growing office where performance is visible, success is celebrated loudly, and progression is genuinely achievable.

The role:

This is a 360 recruitment position with a focus on sales and business development.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Winning new clients and building your own market through proactive business development
• Managing client relationships and growing accounts
• Sourcing and managing candidates across specialist industries
• Negotiating offers and closing deals

At its core, recruitment is high-level consultative sales. You’ll be selling a service, building partnerships with hiring managers, and influencing hiring decisions in fast-moving industries.

It’s fast-paced, target-driven and competitive, but for strong salespeople, the earning potential and career progression are exceptional.

What you’ll earn:

• $45,000 starting salary
• Increase to $55,000 after 6–9 months
• Uncapped commission structure
• Realistic Year 1 OTE: $80,000–$120,000
• Average $7K commission per placement

Your output directly impacts your income, there is no artificial ceiling on what you can earn.

Top performers are heavily rewarded, including a Rolex for generating $1M in revenue.

Progression:

• Structured progression all the way to Vice President level
• Clear targets, expectations, and promotion criteria
• Promotions based on performance, not tenure

If you produce results, you will move up quickly.

Training & support:

You’ll receive structured onboarding and ongoing support, backed by the infrastructure of an established international business.

Even experienced salespeople are trained on:

• Recruitment deal cycles
• Negotiation techniques
• Market development
• Building and scaling a recruitment desk

You’ll be supported by leaders who have built successful recruitment businesses themselves.

Culture & benefits:

• Highly social, close-knit office culture
• 20 days PTO two weeks off at Christmas
• Company holiday to Mexico (all expenses paid)
• Fantastic healthcare with a top provider
• High-energy, ambitious team environment

This is an environment where competitive, commercially minded people thrive.

Who they’re looking for:

This role is best suited to people with a proven background in sales or business development.

Ideally you’ll have:

• 6 months of sales experience (B2B or B2C)
• A track record of hitting or exceeding targets
• Strong communication and negotiation skills
• Confidence speaking with senior professionals
• A highly competitive and resilient mindset
• The ambition to earn well above average and progress into leadership
