- Maintain accurate records of outreach activity, pipeline status, meetings, and client notes in the CRM.
- Assist with client onboarding, follow-up check-ins, and ongoing relationship management after the sale.
- After onboarding, collaborate closely with the recruiting team and support candidate engagement and communication.
- Perform general administrative and office-support tasks as needed.
Qualifications
- 0–2 years of experience in sales, business development, customer service, or another client-facing role.
- New graduates and career changers are encouraged to apply.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Comfortable making high-volume outbound calls and speaking with new people.
- Interest in staffing, MSP/VMS programs, or B2B services.
- Organized, coachable, detail-oriented, and motivated by performance targets and commission.
- Basic familiarity with CRM or AI tools is an asset.
- Prior outbound sales or cold-calling experience is preferred, though not required.
- Willingness to learn, take feedback, and grow within the role.
