Opportunity details ## About this role. ### Agency Recruiter – Full Desk (Independent / 1099) Location: Remote (U.S.) Model: Independent Contractor / 100% Commission This opportunity is built by and for experienced full-desk recruiters. We are a collective of proven professionals who have run their own desks, managed client relationships end-to-end, and understand what it takes to generate revenue. We are not a traditional agency—and we are not a place to “learn recruiting.” This is a peer-level environment for recruiters who value ownership, flexibility, and independence, while recognizing that collaboration can accelerate growth. You keep control of your clients, searches, and workflow while gaining access to shared systems, modern recruiting technology, and a trusted network of fellow producers. ### The Role As a Senior Recruiter in our network, you will operate your own full desk—business development, client management, and delivery—while having the option to collaborate with other experienced recruiters when it makes sense. This model is designed for recruiters who are already successful but want to scale smarter, reduce overhead, and avoid working in isolation. ### What You’ll Do * Run a full recruiting desk, including client acquisition, relationship management, and candidate delivery * Own your client relationships and manage searches from intake through placement * Collaborate with other senior recruiters on shared searches, role-splits, or candidate pipelines * Exchange market insights, sourcing strategies, and best practices with peer recruiters * Leverage shared recruiting technology, ATS, and AI-driven tools without building infrastructure alone * Contribute strategically to a growing recruiter network built on trust and performance ### Why Experienced Recruiters Join * True Desk Ownership: You control your clients, candidates, and approach—no hand-holding, no micromanagement * Peer-Level Collaboration: Work with other proven full-desk recruiters, not trainees or junior staff * Scalable Infrastructure: Access enterprise-level recruiting systems, AI tools, and processes without agency overhead * Flexible Independence: Run your business your way while staying connected to a strong professional network * Expanded Earning Potential: Collaborate on larger or more complex searches and unlock shared revenue opportunities ### Who This Is For * Experienced full-desk agency recruiters * Independent recruiters with a track record of placements * Professionals who can self-manage, self-source, and self-close * Recruiters who value autonomy but see the advantage of collaboration * High performers seeking uncapped earning potential without a traditional agency model ### Compensation This is a 100% commission-based, 1099 role. Recruiters earn a competitive share of placement fees, paid once client invoices are collected. There are no caps—performance directly drives income.

After intake, I create a sourcing strategy, manage candidate outreach and assessment, coordinate interviews, and maintain clear communication through offer acceptance and placement. I track activity and conversion metrics to continually improve both client acquisition and delivery performance. What methods do you use to generate new client business as an independent recruiter? I combine focused outreach to target accounts, referrals, prior client relationships, market intelligence, and consistent follow-up. I prioritize accounts where I understand the talent market and can offer a specific recruiting solution rather than sending generic sales messages. I also nurture long-term relationships so that initial conversations can develop into recurring search work. How do you manage competing searches while maintaining a high-quality candidate experience? I prioritize searches based on urgency, probability of close, client responsiveness, and candidate availability. I use an ATS and a disciplined workflow to document every interaction, schedule follow-ups, and avoid communication gaps. Clear expectations, timely feedback, and honest updates help maintain trust with candidates even when a search changes or closes. Describe how you handle a difficult client relationship or an unrealistic search requirement. I address misalignment early by using market data and candidate feedback to explain what is realistic regarding compensation, skills, location, and timeline. I present practical alternatives, such as adjusting requirements, expanding the talent pool, or revisiting the compensation structure. If expectations remain unworkable, I communicate professionally and protect my time and candidate relationships while seeking a solution. How do you ensure success in a commission-only recruiting environment? I manage my desk like a business by maintaining a diversified pipeline of clients, active searches, and candidate relationships. I set activity goals for business development, sourcing, client follow-up, and placements, while monitoring conversion rates at each stage. Consistent execution, strong qualification, and attention to collections are essential because earnings depend directly on completed and collected placements. Next step ## Apply now.
