About the role

A boutique executive search firm in Chicago is seeking a Client Relationship Manager. This role demands strong B2B sales experience and the ability to create meaningful relationships with HR executives. Responsibilities include making 40–60 outreach calls daily, following up on leads, and participating in networking events. For the right person, there's a clear path toward becoming an executive recruiter. You will work in a dynamic environment that prioritizes thoughtful connections and professional growth.

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.
