Job Description:

A note from the founder
The workforce crisis we serve has a recruiting bottleneck most firms cannot scale through.
CMHCs need clinicians. Hotels need captain-led teams. Federal contractors need MBE-eligible workforce. The Wilkinson Firm is the firm operators trust to deliver. But our recruiting capacity needs to outscale our internal team's hours.
We are opening Recruiting Partner seats - external recruiters who place candidates into TWF client engagements and earn a placement fee on every closed placement.
This is a performance role with a clear climb. Mission-aligned starter rate. Real upside as your placement track record builds.
What you would do
- Source and screen candidates against TWF client requisitions
- Submit qualified candidates with full vet (resume, screen notes, reference check status)
- Coordinate interview scheduling with TWF leadership and client hiring managers
- Manage offer negotiation in partnership with TWF
- Own the candidate experience through placement and 90-day retention
Compensation - Climbing Ladder
Stage 1 (first 90 days, mission-aligned starter):
- 10% of first-year salary on every placed candidate
- $1,000 minimum per placement
- $5,000 cap per placement (Stage 1 only)
Stage 2 (after 5 placements + 80% 90-day retention):
- 15% of first-year salary
- $1,500 minimum
- No cap
Stage 3 (after 10 placements + sustained retention proof):
- 20% of first-year salary
- $2,500 minimum
- 90-day retention bonus: $500 per placement that stays 90 days
- 12-month retention bonus: $1,000 per placement that stays 12 months
- Senior advisor track conversation opens
Who we want
- 5+ years agency recruiting OR in-house TA with placement track record
- Strong sourcing fluency: LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, Manatal, or equivalent
- Documented track record of placements that stuck (retention numbers matter)
- Comfortable with the full lifecycle: sourcing, screening, scheduling, closing, post-placement
- ATS hygiene discipline
Bonus: Specialty in one of TWF's verticals - behavioral health, hospitality, government contracting workforce.
Who we are not for
- Recruiters who measure success by submissions, not placements
- Anyone whose 90-day retention rate is below 70%
- Generalists with no specialty vertical
