The Opportunity
HireNow Staffing is acting as a direct placement partner for a fast-growing AI marketplace building the future of recruiting partnerships.
The company is seeking Account Managers to help scale a world-class portfolio of recruiting firm partners. This is not a traditional post-sales support role—it's an entrepreneurial, revenue-driven seat for someone who thrives in early-stage environments and enjoys working directly with business owners.
As an Account Manager on the supply side of the marketplace, you will act as a strategic advisor to recruiting agency leaders, helping them optimize platform usage, improve daily workflows, and unlock meaningful revenue growth.
This role offers deep ownership, cross-functional influence, and the opportunity to shape how a category-defining marketplace scale.
What You'll Do
Candidates will be considered for interview based on demonstrated ability to:
-
Own high-impact partner relationships: Serve as a trusted advisor to top recruiting firms, guiding growth strategy, execution, and operational excellence
-
Scale the supply engine: Identify bottlenecks across onboarding, engagement, and retention, then build systems that help partners perform at a higher level
-
Run marketplace experiments: Test incentives, workflows, and automations that improve liquidity, outcomes, and partner success
-
Bridge operations and product: Translate partner feedback into actionable internal tools, process improvements, and product direction
-
Drive revenue execution: Own and deliver against revenue targets tied directly to partner performance—not just satisfaction or retention
-
Operate like a founder: Take initiative without waiting for perfect structure, and push projects from zero to one
The Profile Were Looking For
This role is best suited for candidates who bring intensity, ownership, and entrepreneurial ambition.
Startup Mindset (Required)
You actively choose high-ownership environments and thrive in fast-moving, early-stage teams.
Force of Nature Execution
You've done something meaningfully difficult building something from scratch, landing a highly competitive opportunity, or driving an initiative with outsized impact.
Raw Smarts & Sharp Energy
You bring strong signals of excellence—academics, speed, clarity of thought, and high personal drive.
Passion for Entrepreneurs & SMBs
You're excited about helping founders and business owners grow—many partners on the platform are leaders of small and mid-sized recruiting firms.
Interest in Recruiting + Marketplaces
Curiosity about recruiting dynamics and enthusiasm for improving workflows and outcomes in a modern marketplace model.

-
Exceptional academic or professional track record (top university or equivalent real-world excellence signal)
-
Evidence of ambition, originality, or uncommon achievement beyond traditional work experience
