What We’re Looking For:
- 4+ years of experience recruiting in a staffing or agency environment
- Proven success hiring recruiters, sales professionals, or agency leaders
- Strong passive sourcing instincts and comfort with outbound outreach
- Ability to engage experienced, high-performing agency professionals
- Organized, process-driven, and comfortable managing multiple searches
- Clear communicator with sound judgment and follow-through
- Bachelor’s degree required Why Madison-Davis
- A seat at the table with senior leadership
- Real ownership over who joins the firm
- The chance to help build a scalable TA engine from the inside
- Clear runway for growth as the firm expands nationally
- A performance-driven culture that values results and accountability We offer:
- Competitive base salary + performance bonus

- A culture built on growth, mentorship, and success
Please note:
We are only accepting applicants with current experience at another staffing or recruiting agency.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
