Looking for a Business Development Job Making Six Figures? Think about Recruiting

I didn’t go to college with the thought that I would become a recruiter.  Like many in our industry, I stumbled upon the profession.  Almost immediately, I fell in love with the fact that no day was the same, I got to pick and choose the companies I wanted to work with, and the fact that I was able to make a positive impact on the clients I worked with, and the candidates I helped to place.  Looking back fifteen years, I was very fortunate that I responded to the advertisement for a research assistant for a recruiting firm.

At Hawthorne Executive Search we have a team of fifteen recruiters focused in on different industry specialties.  Our staff resides in four states, and ten cities, and we have built a reputation as a well networked, high integrity firm that does the right thing for our clients and candidates.

Who would make a successful recruiter?  The ideal candidate would have sales experience on a national scale, selling into a specific industry or market segment.  The person who knows the “ball bearing industry” on a national level might be successful because she knows all the players in that market, and would bring instant credibility.

The person who has sold to mom and pop businesses in one specific metro area could still be successful obviously, but that would not be the ideal profile.

If you are well networked in your industry/marketplace, want a job where there are no daily meetings, you have significant autonomy, yet still have amazing tools and people to help you reach your goals, and would like the ability to work anywhere geographically, and yet not have to start over if you decide to move, then recruiting at HES might be an option worth exploring.
