About the Company


MMD Services Inc. - A woman-owned staffing boutique redefining recruiting partnerships. At MMD Services, we’re not your typical staffing firm. We’re a tight-knit, performance-driven team delivering exceptional IT and Finance recruiting solutions for mid-sized to Fortune 500 clients.


We focus on Contract, Contract-to-Hire, and Direct Hire placements - not short-term assignments or high-volume VMS work. Every search we take on is intentional, relationship-driven, and built to last. Our firm operates with elevated standards of quality, accountability, and long-term value creation – February 2026 will mark our 20th year as a thriving woman-owned business!


Position Summary


The Lead Recruiter serves as a hands-on leader responsible for driving recruiting excellence by leading by example from a production standpoint, mentoring a team of recruiters, and delivering measurable hiring outcomes.

• Uphold high standards for candidate quality by ensuring submissions are thoroughly vetted, well-aligned to role requirements, and prepared for client interviews.

• Partner directly with hiring managers to deeply understand technical needs, business priorities, and organizational culture – strong emphasis on ongoing client relationships (minimal VMS).

• Develop sourcing strategies that prioritize quality over volume while maintaining strong activity levels.

• Maintain precise and timely documentation within applicant tracking systems.

• Build long-term, trust-based relationships with candidates and clients.


High Standards & Quality Expectations


• Ensure every candidate submission reflects MMD’s commitment to excellence, accuracy, and professionalism.

• Emphasize thorough screening, clear communication, and candidate preparation at every stage of the hiring process.

• Maintain urgency without sacrificing precision, ethics, or quality.

• Contribute to recruiting processes to improve efficiency, candidate experience, and client satisfaction.


Qualifications


• 5 years of full-cycle technical agency recruiting experience.

• Proven success meeting or exceeding recruiting and revenue metrics.

• Experience leading and developing agency recruiting teams.

• Ability to manage recruiting efforts on multiple roles at once (2-3/week standard)

• Strong client-facing and relationship-building skills.

• Detail-oriented with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.

• Competitive, results-driven mindset with a focus on long-term value.


Compensation Structure


• Above-average commission potential designed to reward individual production, team performance, and consistent results.

• Commissions earned from day one, with no prolonged ramp period.

• Additional bonus opportunities tied to monthly, quarterly, and annual performance metrics.

• Competitive monthly override on team numbers.


Why You’ll Love It Here


• Role ownership with meaningful impact

• Base salary paired with above-market commission structure and bonus potential

• Hybrid work environment (after training period)

• Unlimited PTO

• Culture built on trust, transparency, and accountability
