We are now in five markets with aggressive growth plans and need to grow our account executive team.
You will be responsible for selling affordable and unique talent solutions to high growth technology company recruiters.

We need someone who knows what it takes to build something from the ground up, who treats the “job” as his or her own business, and who thrives on learning daily.
