About M Force Partners:

M Force Partners is a nationally ranked recruiting/staffing and executive search firm delivering contract, contract-to-hire, direct hire, and retained search solutions across multiple industries:

• Engineering & Technical
• Professional Services
• Healthcare
• Private Equity
• Executive Search

As an EOS-run organization, we operate through a proven delivery framework — The M Force Way — built around structured search execution, true client partnership, and high-quality hiring outcomes.

The Role:

This is a full-cycle recruiting position focused on sourcing, attracting, evaluating, and placing top talent across multiple industries and functional areas {Engineering Recruiting will be prioritized}.

You will own searches from intake to placement, partner directly with sales leadership and clients, and deliver a high-level candidate experience throughout the process.

This is not a resume-pushing recruiter role — you will operate as a talent advisor and search owner.

What You’ll Do:

Search Execution

• Lead searches from kickoff to placement
• Build sourcing strategies for active and passive talent
• Utilize calls, LinkedIn, networking, referrals, and databases to identify candidates
• Screen and qualify talent for skills, culture fit, motivation, and compensation alignment

Candidate Relationship Management

• Build strong relationships with candidates throughout the hiring process
• Prepare candidates for interviews
• Manage feedback, offers, negotiations, and closing process
• Deliver an exceptional candidate experience

Client Partnership

• Partner with internal sales team and hiring managers on search strategy
• Understand business needs, hiring priorities, and role requirements
• Provide market feedback, talent insights, and pipeline updates
• Help guide hiring decisions through strong communication and process management

Talent Pipeline Development

• Build talent communities in key markets and industries
• Maintain organized pipelines for future openings
• Re-engage prior candidates and referrals
• Develop long-term networks that create repeat placements

Operational Excellence

• Manage activity, notes, and workflow in CRM/ATS
• Prioritize multiple searches simultaneously
• Maintain urgency, organization, and consistent follow-up
• Execute within structured recruiting processes and KPIs

What Success Looks Like

• Consistent outbound recruiting activity
• Qualified candidate pipelines
• High submission-to-interview ratios
• Placements and repeat business
• Strong candidate experience and reputation
• Ability to manage multiple searches with urgency and quality

Qualifications:

• 2+ years of recruiting/staffing experience preferred (agency, search firm, or corporate recruiting backgrounds considered)
• Strong sourcing and candidate engagement skills
• Ability to build relationships and influence people
• Strong communication and follow-up discipline
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• CRM / ATS experience preferred (Tracker, LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, etc.)
• Competitive mindset with a sense of urgency and ownership

Compensation & Schedule:

• Competitive base salary (weekly pay)
• Uncapped commission plan
• Bonus opportunities
• Full benefits (medical, dental, vision, life, 401k)
• Unlimited PTO
• Hybrid Schedule after 90 days

Why This Role Stands Out:

• High-quality job orders and national client exposure
• Ability to work direct hire, retained, and contract to hire searches
• A structured recruiting process that drives results
• Growth path into senior recruiting or sales roles
• Strong leadership support and clear expectations
• Opportunity to build a long-term recruiting career, not just work another desk

Apply:

If you want to build a long-term career in recruiting with a firm that values structure, growth, and winning the right way — we’d like to talk.
