You’ll be trained by and work directly with the founder to identify, engage, and place top talent in sales, operations, technology, finance, and leadership roles across the logistics space.

• Strong relationship-building and communication skills.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the discipline to thrive in a 100% commission environment.

• Experience using LinkedIn Recruiter or other sourcing tools.
