This is a great opportunity to help talented people land their dream jobs while also earning attractive compensation in a supportive, collaborative environment.

Why You?
How you’ll know if you’re a fit…

You come from an industry where cold calling, pitching, writing, and moving at a rapid clip is part of your nature. (Journalists, publicists, content creators, sales leads, and project managers do really well here!) You love talking to people, are a natural problem solver, and have a can-do, optimistic outlook. You have strong organizational skills and familiarity with productivity tools like Trello, Google Drive, Calendly, and more (because you’re always looking for new apps and hacks that will help you work smarter rather than harder). You’re a natural people-person who enjoys the chase and landing and closing deals. Subject-matter expertise in complex technical fields/roles (such as UX / UI, visual design, engineering, and product management) is a big plus, as is experience hiring for such roles.

The Inside Skinny
