The Role and Responsibilities

• This is based in the sales team focusing on Project and Interim (Contract) roles   
• There are 3 teams, P&I (Contract), Search (Perm) and Exec Search
• This role is a 180 Sales role that will identify and nurture opportunities, working alongside the delivery team who will be responsible for finding candidates for these roles, whom boast a 70/80% fill ratio
• This position is fully remote, although the first few weeks will be spent training a couple of days per week with Senior Management which could be from Oakville or Downtown Toronto.   
• The target market is Private Equity business’, either PE owned assets, small / mid size public business or PE equity firms themselves 
• The value proposition when selling is around data and results
• Our client is a business that is invested in behavioural science and the results of candidate evaluations which gives them data and results upon which to base their candidate sell
• Our client is looking for a hustler, a person  that is hungry and ambitious
• They are boutique and nimble and people don’t necessarily know them in the market, so your sell needs to have impact based on you, not the market brand.
• Looking for people with natural confidence, gravitas and credibility.  You’ll be charismatic and you’ll be able to hold a conversation with senior Finance folks.
• You’ll be making those calls on the phone, yes, you read that right.  Linkedin is a back up and you’ll be trained in depth on how to make an impact in these areas, if you don’t have that knowledge already
• You’ll be cross selling for the other teams, as they will do for you, and finding opportunity
• KPI’s yes, they’re present.  If junior, then calls will be measured at 150 calls per week, 10 client meetings booked and 5 completed.  3 deals per week (in their language) which means leads uncovered.  If more tenured, then KPI’s will become less of a thing as results will speak louder than the dials.
• Target client contact is the CFO or the Head of Finance
