Recruiter — Independent Financial Advisors & Agents (1099 Contracting)

United Advisors America is hiring a full-cycle Recruiter to support the Prosper, TX team with 1099 contracting recruiting for independent financial advisors, field sales producers, and licensed agents. The role focuses on outbound sourcing, rapid follow-up, ATS and job board ownership, and end-to-end pipeline management through signed agreements and advisor onboarding.

Responsibilities

• Develop target lists of licensed advisors, producers, and agents and initiate outreach through calls, text, email, LinkedIn, referrals, industry events, competitor mapping, and publicly available license and registration data.
• Manage job board postings and own the ATS workflow; respond to applicants same-day while maintaining clean, current recruiting records and activities.
• Present the opportunity using contractor economics, commission structure, book ownership, independence, and the support available, including handling objections related to each topic.
• Screen candidates against production-focused criteria, including licensing and registration status and confirm they can operate as independent contractors.
• Run the hiring process end to end, starting with the first cold touch through signed independent contractor agreements and onward to producing advisor onboarding, including persistent follow-up.
• Maintain an active recruiting pipeline with a clearly defined next step and an associated calendar date for every candidate.
• Continuously test and refine sourcing channels, including industry job boards, trade publications, professional associations, social platforms, and referral programs, and discontinue channels that do not produce contracted advisors.
• Track and report recruiting performance including outreach, conversations, qualified submissions, contracts signed, and contracted advisors reaching production.
• Keep sourcing, screening, and selection activities aligned with company policy and applicable licensing and regulatory requirements.
• Partner with the manager to maintain accurate opportunity ads, role criteria, and recruiting messaging.

Requirements

• Three or more years of full-cycle recruiting experience sourcing candidates (not only screening), with documented outcomes showing outbound-sourced hires or contracts.
• Direct experience recruiting 1099 independent contractors, commission-only producers, or licensed agents.
• Ability to articulate target market, outreach volume, and recruiting results.
• Experience in financial services, insurance, or another licensed commission-sales environment, or demonstrated credibility discussing licensing (Series 6, 7, 65, 66, and state life and health) and advisor compensation structures.
• Ability to sell and communicate effectively, with consistent follow-through without reminders.
• Ability to manage a personal calendar and maintain an active pipeline.
• Hands-on ownership of an ATS and job board postings, including writing and placing ads, managing spend and channels, running an applicant queue quickly, and pursuing outreach beyond posted roles.
• Working proficiency with an ATS or CRM and Microsoft Office.
• Discipline to log recruiting activity accurately every day.

Important Details Before You Apply

• This is a full-cycle sourcing and closing role for contractor-based recruiting.
• Contract independent financial advisors, field sales producers, and licensed agents who affiliate with United Advisors America as 1099 independent contractors, not employees.
• Recruited advisors run their own books of business and control their own schedules.
• The work aligns more closely with commission sales than corporate talent acquisition.
• You will run the job boards and own the ATS, and you must work inbound applicants quickly.
• The strongest candidates are rarely applying through ads, so most of the pipeline must come from outreach you generate.
• This is not an HR role, and there are no HR functions associated with this position, including benefits administration, employee relations, payroll, compliance filing for staff, or office management.
• This position does not provide support for an HR department and is not a path into HR.

Please Do Not Apply If

• Your experience is limited to HR generalist, HR coordinator, benefits, payroll, or office administration.
• Your recruiting background is restricted to W-2 corporate or salaried roles.
