Management Recruiter / Account Executive

About the position

LifeWork Search is a best-in-class management search firm located in Westport, MA that specializes in permanent placement search. Currently, our clients are some of the best known, as well as up-and-coming Consumer Goods, Food & Beverage and Life Sciences companies, and they utilize the services of our firm to find key hires for mission critical roles. Our Recruiters use a combination of sales acumen, industry expertise, and interpersonal finesse to find and attract these A-players to our clients. When our clients make the hire, we get paid a fee. Here's the good news: We are the best-known permanent placement search firm in our niche, so if you want to be a management recruiter, this is a great place to ply your trade. It is a fast-paced and fun environment with a close-knit and collegial team. People that are good at the job, who have just the right combination of personality, work ethic, and motivation, will love the work and make lots of money. Here's the bad news: This is a difficult job. We work really hard, and, like any craft, it takes time to achieve mastery, so you need to be ready for a long-term commitment. Even for the best in the business, the work can be frustrating, ambiguous, and unpredictable, and you need to have exceptional discipline and faith in yourself. Finally, the reality is, you won't know (and we won't know) that you'll be good at the job until you actually do it. This job is not for the faint of heart! What we're looking for: We are an entrepreneurial company, and we are looking for entrepreneurs. In many ways we are like an incubator for just one business - recruiting. We provide the physical space, the technology, the training, the intellectual property, and the cash-flow to allow entrepreneurs to develop their own business within our business.
