The Role

Will Reed is looking for a Senior Associate who wants to strategize and execute a consultative search process. In this role, you will work directly with early-stage founders who will rely on your counsel and industry expertise to hire their first GTM leaders. (These first hires can make or break a company, so we’re looking for someone who takes personal pride in a job well done and likes the idea of running their own book of business in the near future.)

As a Senior Associate, you are a full-cycle Executive Recruiter. You will lead multiple searches per quarter. You find purpose and enjoyment in the below activities:

• Research and strategy: Understanding the client, role, market landscape, candidate pool, etc.
• Sourcing: Using strategic tools (e.g. LinkedIn Recruiter) to find applicable candidates
• Messaging: Utilizing various mediums and creative tactics to get in touch with candidates
  
• Screening: Vetting candidates to qualify their experience and create excitement for the role/client
  
• Coaching: Guiding candidates through the interview process and overcoming objections as needed
  
• Selling: Knowing how to properly showcase a candidate’s experience to a client
  
• Closing: Reviewing offers with candidates and providing any additional information they might need to make an informed decision
  

And let’s be real, we’re still a startup, so don’t be surprised if you get pulled into various strategic projects.
