Job Description
Distro is hiring a Sales Recruiter to build pipelines and recruit quota-carrying B2B sales talent across the United States (onsite).
Responsibilities
- Own full-cycle recruiting for Business Consultants and other B2B sales positions across multiple U.S. markets.
- Create creative sourcing strategies to find both active and passive sales professionals.
- Build targeted talent pipelines by geography, industry, competitor, and sales specialization.
- Proactively engage candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, direct outreach, referrals, ATS databases, professional networks, job boards, and other sourcing channels.
- Develop long-term pipelines for recurring and forecasted sales hiring instead of relying only on inbound applicants.
- Run structured screens to understand sales experience, achievements, motivation, and career goals.
- Assess sales capabilities across new-business development, prospecting, pipeline generation, territory growth, consultative selling, negotiation, and closing.
- Review measurable performance indicators such as quota attainment, revenue production, new-logo acquisition, sales rankings, pipeline generation, and other relevant results.
- Differentiate between new-business hunter profiles, account-growth profiles, channel sellers, and sales leaders, and match talent to the right opportunity.
- Provide hiring managers qualified candidates with clear, evidence-based summaries of experience and outcomes.
- Manage candidates from initial outreach through screening, interviews, offer, acceptance, and pre-employment activities.
- Maintain strong candidate engagement during a competitive process and proactively address concerns, competing opportunities, compensation expectations, and potential offer risks.
- Collaborate with hiring managers to set priorities, understand changing business needs, get timely feedback, and keep searches moving.
- Recalibrate sourcing approaches when pipeline quality or volume does not meet requirements.
- Deliver a responsive, professional candidate experience from first contact through hire.
- Monitor recruiting activity and pipeline health to identify what is working and where adjustments are needed.
- Track outreach and outcomes, including qualified submissions, hiring-manager acceptance, interviews, offers, hires, pipeline conversion, source effectiveness, and time to fill.
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date candidate and requisition information in the ATS.
- Share talent-market insights with hiring leaders, including candidate availability, compensation expectations, competitor activity, sourcing challenges, and candidate feedback.
Requirements
- 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including demonstrated experience recruiting B2B sales professionals.
- Proven ability to proactively source and engage passive candidates rather than relying primarily on inbound applications.
- Strong understanding of quota-carrying sales roles and how sales performance is measured.
- Ability to evaluate candidates using metrics such as quota attainment, revenue generation, pipeline development, territory performance, and new-business acquisition.
- Experience managing multiple requisitions, hiring managers, candidates, and geographic markets at the same time.
- Strong direct-sourcing, interviewing, candidate engagement, and closing skills.
- High organization, follow-through, attention to detail, and ability to work with urgency.
- Confidence partnering with hiring leaders and recommending strategy changes based on market insights.
- Experience with applicant tracking systems, LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, and other sourcing tools.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Experience recruiting Business Consultants, Account Executives, Territory Sales Representatives, Regional Sales Managers, Channel Sales, or similar quota-carrying roles.
