You do not need to have worked in staffing before. You do need to be the kind of person who finds a way to get things done. Execution — you deliver consistent output and pipeline Grit / Resilience You sustain performance through rejection. A tough week doesn’t derail you — it sharpens your focus. Activity Capacity You are comfortable with high-volume outreach and bring structure and energy to every day. Work Ethic / Discipline You manage your own time, set your own targets, and don’t need close supervision to stay on track. Coachability You take feedback fast and apply it faster. You see coaching as a competitive advantage, not a criticism. Growth — you have the potential to become a future BDMBusiness Acumen You connect hiring challenges to business impact. You ask why, not just what. Discovery Depth You ask the question behind the question. You don’t surface needs — you uncover them. Ownership Mindset You think beyond the meeting. You care about outcomes, not just activity. Deal Curiosity You want to know what happens after the handoff. You use those lessons to get better. Persuasion Skills You influence rather than script. You adapt to the person in front of you. Internal Selling You collaborate well. You know that winning externally starts with alignment internally.

By 90 days, you will be consistently hitting your meeting targets, running discovery calls with support, and actively contributing to pipeline. Your CRM will be clean, your activity levels high, and your feedback loops fast. By 6 to 12 months, you will have demonstrated readiness to progress to Business Development Manager, running your own full-cycle deals, contributing to closed placements, and showing the commercial judgment and client relationships that a BDM role requires. CAREER PROGRESSIONThis role is the entry point to a structured sales career at our business. Promotion to Business Development Manager is performance-based, not tenure-based. SDRs who demonstrate the right competencies and hit the right thresholds can progress in as little as six months. As a BDM, you will own the full sales cycle, from prospecting to close to client relationship management, with a larger territory, a higher commission structure, and the opportunity to build and develop your own book of business. We are transparent about what progression requires. From day one, you will have access to the competency framework and promotion criteria that define exactly what you need to demonstrate to move into a field sales role. There are no surprises. Employ
