Executive Account Manager
About AppleOne
AppleOne has been in business since 1964, and today it’s one of North America’s best-known staffing firms. We’re part of the ActOne Group, offer temporary, direct hire, and executive search services, and work by our philosophy of Hiring Made Human. Our Schaumburg team is known for filling the roles other firms can’t, and that reputation wins business. We’re growing and need a proven seller who can plug in and produce.
The Role
This is a sales-first, full-desk role. Most of your time goes to winning and growing client accounts: getting in front of decision-makers, landing job orders, and closing placements. You’ll also build and work your own candidate pipeline, so you control both sides of the deal. Staffing experience is a plus but not required. A track record of hitting goals on a commission plan is.
What You’ll Do
Business Development & Account Growth (about 55%)
-Call on and meet with prospective and current clients, on-site and by phone, to uncover hiring needs and recommend the right solution
-Win new accounts and expand existing ones through a consistent prospecting and relationship-building rhythm
-Take job orders, confirm details, and quote pricing
-Present well-matched candidates with sharp, accurate profiles that sell
-Guide clients and candidates through the hiring process with fast, clear communication
-Run regular retention check-ins with clients and placed associates to keep accounts growing
Recruiting & Candidate Pipeline (about 25%)
-Source talent through job boards, LinkedIn, and AppleOne’s systems
-Interview candidates for skills, goals, and availability, and document everything accurately
-Keep a strong inventory of ready-to-place talent for your clients’ recurring needs
-Coach placed associates to make sure they succeed and stick
Planning & Development (about 20%)
-Plan daily and weekly activity to hit your KPIs and monthly targets
-Review performance with leadership and complete ongoing training
What You Bring
-2+ years of B2B sales, business development, or account management experience
-A track record of performance in a commission- or bonus-based role
-Comfort with cold outreach and in-person client meetings, and the drive to keep a pipeline full
-The ability to juggle competing priorities and stay sharp under pressure
-Clear, professional writing and speaking skills
-Proficiency with MS Office (Outlook, Word, Excel) and a CRM or ATS; typing speed of 36+ WPM
-Reliable transportation for client visits
Why AppleOne
