This company is a specialized talent search firm helping high-growth technology and AI companies solve their most difficult hiring challenges.

Manage a multi-channel follow-up sequence including professional, personalized emails and LinkedIn outreach. Qualify leads and schedule discovery meetings for leadership to close new agency search business. Maintain meticulous CRM records, ensuring all intelligence regarding reporting structures and hiring processes is accurately documented.
