PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ BEFORE APPLYING:

We're specifically seeking Headhunters (Agency Recruiters) rather than Corporate Recruiters & Sourcers due to the distinct cultural differences between these roles.

At Verticalmove, a Technical Recruiter operates in a full-desk capacity, balancing both recruiting and business development. Typically, 80% of our time (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday) is focused on recruiting, while 20% (Wednesday) is dedicated to business development. However, there are occasions when the balance may shift to an equal 50/50 split between the two areas.

The exciting part of full-desk recruitment is the diverse earning potential—you can generate income on the candidate side, client side, or even both. The most significant earning opportunities are often found in client-side transactions or double-sided transactions.

This is a true full-desk, agency recruitment role. It’s crucial that we align on this key principle: recruiting is sales, and Verticalmove is fundamentally a sales organization that specializes in recruitment.
