Director of Recruiting

Talently
Chicago, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 4/8/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/27/2026

Job Title: Vertical Practice Director (Agency / Full-Desk)

Location: Remote (U.S.)

Comp: Base Salary Aggressive Commissions Profit Share/Overrides | Target Earnings: $300k – $700k


THE ROLE

Talently is the Platform for Modern Recruitment. We are hiring a Vertical Practice Owner to own and scale a specialized division. This is a high-impact "Player-Coach" role: you will run a full desk while leveraging our centralized support (marketing, tech, ops) to build a repeatable, dominant book of business.


THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE

Many high-performing recruiters are capped by tedious and time-consuming tasks. Instead of closing, you spend a massive portion of your week on Lead Gen, screening bad-fit applicants, chasing contact info, and bouncing between disconnected tools. There's simply not enough hours in a day to maximize your earning potential


THE TALENTLY MODEL

We're designed to remove the drag. We provide the complete "Growth Stack" so you don't have to build it yourself:

  • Marketing Engine: Our team supports you by driving "warm inbound leads" and re-activating dormant accounts so you’re not rebuilding pipeline from scratch each quarter.
  • Deep Data: Verified mobile numbers and full email coverage with auto-enrichment.
  • Full Automation: AI systems that learn your workflow, integrated email LI sequences, and activity tracking.
  • CRM Power: Pipeline control built to MPC top talent, drive repeat business, and "mushroom" accounts.


We also run with defined territories, vertical ownership, and clear operating rules so you build a real practice, not fight internal politics.


WHO YOU ARE

  • Proven Production: Verifiable history of $400k annual billings (or a clear path there).
  • Vertical Depth: You operate as a specialist, not a generalist.
  • Operator Mindset: You use systems and data to scale without cutting corners on quality.
