About Us
At Baillow Recruiting, we’re a small, locally owned direct-hire recruiting firm that’s obsessed with getting hiring right for both clients and candidates. We’ve built a reputation on thoughtful, targeted recruiting and long-term client partnerships. We’re not high-volume. We’re high-quality. And we want someone who values that just as much as we do.
About You
You're a self-starter who loves chasing down leads, building relationships, and following through. You don’t just sell, you listen, clarify, and then help solve the right problem. You respect the recruiting process and care about representing quality candidates to the right companies. You take notes. You follow up. You don’t disappear. You're in it to win, but not at the expense of doing things right.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Identify and connect with local small-to-mid-sized businesses with hiring needs
- Conduct job intake calls and gather critical details for recruiting efforts
- Act as the main point of contact for your clients
- Partner closely with our recruiter (who leads the vetting and interview process)
- Submit candidates with care and context, not just resumes
- Gather and share client feedback, coordinate interviews, and support offer stages
What You’re Not Doing
- Sourcing and screening candidates yourself (our recruiter handles that)
- Working under micromanagement (you’ll have clear goals but flexibility in how you meet them)
- Relying on a base salary - this is commission-only to start, but well worth the effort for someone motivated
This Might Be a Fit If You…
- Have prior experience in sales, recruiting, staffing, or business development
- Have worked 100% commission before - or want to build your income without a cap
- Are organized and detail-oriented, not just persuasive
- Can take a job description and identify what matters most
- Are energized by conversations, follow-through, and making an impact
Bonus Points If You…
- Have experience working with small businesses, especially selling professional services
- Have a working knowledge of LinkedIn, job boards, or CRMs
What You’ll Earn
We pay a substantial percentage of each placement fee for clients you bring in. You’ll be rewarded for every successful match, and you'll have the support of a team that wants to win alongside you.
