Senior Full-Desk Recruiter | Direct Hire | Base + Commission

TEEMA Direct | Remote — U.S. | Multiple Markets

You've Built the Desk. Now Build What's Next.

Are you an experienced 360/full-desk agency recruiter who knows how to win new clients, fill your own positions, and consistently generate $300K+ in annual direct-hire placement fees?

What if you could take that proven ability and combine it with a competitive base salary, a rewarding performance-based commission structure, advanced AI sourcing technology, and the backing of an established staffing organization?

Welcome to TEEMA Direct! 🟠🔵

We're building something exciting, and we're looking for proven producers who want to be part of it.

Who We Are:

TEEMA is an established staffing and recruiting organization with nearly 20 years of industry experience, more than 1,000 active clients, and a growing network of recruiting professionals across the United States and Canada.

TEEMA Direct is our expanding base salary + commission division, dedicated exclusively to direct-hire and permanent placement recruiting.

We're not a startup. We're a new division backed by an established organization, experienced leadership, proven infrastructure, and a long-term vision for growth.

We're looking for experienced recruiters who want the autonomy to build their business, the resources to accelerate their production, and the opportunity to grow alongside us.

Where We're Hiring:

We're actively recruiting experienced full-desk recruiters in the following markets:

• Texas: Austin, Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston
• Florida: Miami, Orlando, Tampa
• Georgia: Atlanta
• Tennessee: Nashville
• North Carolina: Charlotte, Raleigh
• Arizona: Phoenix
• Ohio: Columbus
• Indiana: Indianapolis

These are remote opportunities, with an emphasis on building strong regional teams and long-term market presence.

What You'll Be Doing:

This is a true 360-degree, full-desk recruiting opportunity. You'll own both sides of the business.

• Identify, prospect, and secure new client relationships through proactive business development.
• Generate new client logos and build a sustainable book of business.
• Negotiate direct-hire search agreements and placement fees.
• Source, screen, present, and place candidates for your own client accounts.
• Manage the entire recruitment lifecycle, from initial client development through successful placement.
• Develop long-term relationships with hiring managers, directors, and senior executives.
• Maintain a consistent pipeline of business development activity, active searches, and placements.
• Collaborate with leadership and fellow recruiters while maintaining ownership of your desk.

Our primary areas of focus include Information Technology, Engineering, Accounting, and Finance, along with other professional disciplines.

What You MUST Bring

We're looking for established agency recruiters with a proven track record of both sales and recruiting success.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 5+ years of agency recruiting experience in a full-desk/360 environment. This is a firm minimum.
• Demonstrated success personally generating new client business and filling your own positions.
• $300,000+ in annual personal direct-hire placement fees for at least two years.
• Ability to provide documentation supporting production history, such as commission statements or production reports.
• Strong experience in permanent placement/direct hire. Contract-only production does not qualify toward the direct-hire production requirement.
• Proven ability to prospect, cold call, develop client relationships, and close new business.
• Experience managing the complete recruitment process, from client acquisition through candidate placement.
• Strong communication, negotiation, relationship-building, and organizational skills.
• A self-motivated, entrepreneurial mindset with the discipline to succeed in a remote environment.

Important: This is not an internal corporate recruiting position, a recruiting-only delivery role, or a contract staffing desk. You must have hands-on experience generating your own clients AND making direct-hire placements.

Why TEEMA Direct?

Because great recruiters shouldn't have to choose between autonomy and support.

At TEEMA Direct, we're combining the entrepreneurial freedom of running your own desk with the stability, technology, and infrastructure of an established recruiting organization.

You'll have the opportunity to build your own client relationships, drive your own production, and contribute to the growth of an exciting new division.

We're looking for people who don't just want another recruiting job.

We're looking for producers. Business developers. Relationship builders. Future leaders.
