About the Client

Our Client is a fast-growing US-focused fintech and payments company delivering point-of-sale (POS) hardware solutions and payment-processing optimization to small and medium-sized businesses across the United States. To support rapid merchant acquisition across US territories, our client is building a scalable recruiting engine to continuously identify, hire, and onboard high-performing sales talent. Operating with an entrepreneurial, growth-focused culture, our client provides high operational ownership, structured training, direct executive access, and clear metric-driven goals.

Job Overview

Our Client is seeking a proactive, results-driven Sales Recruitment Specialist to own the full lifecycle sourcing, screening, interviewing, and onboarding coordination of commission-only Sales Representatives across the United States. Reporting directly to company executive leadership, this professional will build and maintain a high-volume candidate pipeline—combining active headhunting with funnel metric analysis—to consistently convert qualified sales candidates into active, productive hires.

Key Responsibilities

Active Sourcing & High-Volume Pipeline Generation

Continuously sources and headhunts commission-only Sales Representatives across target US markets using LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, professional networks, social media, and cold outbound sourcing channels.
Builds and maintains a robust candidate pipeline rather than relying solely on inbound applications.
Proactively engages passive sales professionals, clearly conveying role expectations, commission compensation structures, territory potential, and corporate value propositions.

Screening, Qualification & Candidate Experience

Conducts initial structured candidate screenings and comprehensive interviews in English.
Evaluates candidates for outbound sales capability, field prospecting experience, resilience, field-sales readiness, and alignment with a high-upside commission model.
Manages interview logistics, offer communications, pre-onboarding follow-up, and formal training handoffs to eliminate candidate drop-off and interview no-shows.

Funnel Metrics, ATS Management & Executive Collaboration

Tracks and analyzes complete recruiting funnel metrics, monitoring contact response rates, candidate advancement rates, training start rates, and early retention.
Identifies pipeline bottlenecks and recommends strategic adjustments to sourcing messaging, screening criteria, and onboarding handoffs.
Maintains accurate candidate records, interview dispositions, and sourcing activity within the firm's Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
Collaborates directly with company leadership to refine target candidate profiles, sourcing channels, and regional hiring priorities.

Qualifications, Skills, and Key Competencies

Required Qualifications

Sales Recruiting Experience: Minimum 2+ years of dedicated talent acquisition or recruiting experience, featuring a proven track record sourcing and hiring sales professionals.
Proactive Sourcing & Headhunting: Strong capability in outbound candidate sourcing and headhunting; position requires active candidate outreach rather than passive applicant review.
Commission Role Recruitment: Experience recruiting commission-based or performance-driven sales professionals and accurately communicating variable pay structures.
Advanced English Proficiency (C1): Near-native or advanced written and spoken English skills to independently conduct structured interviews with US-based candidates.
Metrics-Driven & Detail-Oriented: Comfort managing a high-volume pipeline according to recruitment KPIs, candidate tracking metrics, and funnel conversion rates.
Schedule Alignment: Full availability to work standard US Eastern business hours (Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM ET).
Remote Workspace Infrastructure: Quiet, professional home workspace, high-performance computer setup, headset, and a stable high-speed internet connection.

Preferred Qualifications

Direct experience recruiting US-based commission-only, outside sales, field sales, or B2B sales professionals.
Recruiting background within merchant services, fintech, payment processing, SaaS, telecommunications, insurance, or solar sales sectors.
Hands-on proficiency with tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Apollo, RecruiterFlow, or comparable sourcing platforms and ATS software.

Benefits

Competitive Base & Bonuses: Base salary of $1,200 – $1,400 USD/month (flexible based on experience and benchmarks) plus performance bonuses tied to recruiting KPIs, successful starts, and retention.
Paid Time Off & Holidays: 10 paid vacation days (PTO) per year plus applicable national holidays.
Structured Training & Mentorship: One week of structured formal onboarding followed by 30 days of direct coaching and executive exposure.
Seamless Payment Methods: Timely monthly payments processed via international bank transfer, Wise, or Payoneer.
