The Role

Leverage our full toolbox of solutions to meet every client's unique needs!

If you're the sales professional we’re looking for, you already know most of what this job entails. However, to be sure we're providing a complete picture, here are some details. 

You will help shape this newly added role moving forward, and your efforts will make an impact company-wide. Your main focus will be selling RPO solutions to medium and large companies across the country, companies you have identified through thoughtful market research and networking. You’ll also be able to sell our other offerings such as our Hourly Full Service Search, Talent Pipelining, Sourcing and Ad Hoc Hourly Contract Recruiting. Whether you’re targeting RPO clients with annual contracts in the high six to low seven figure ranges, or pursuing a nationwide, high-volume recruiting opportunity, the flexibility of our model can meet any client need. That means you'll enjoy a mix of shorter and longer sales cycles. Quick question for you - click here

As a DT evangelist, you will spread the word about our unique services and share how we have helped relieve our clients of their talent acquisition pain. We believe your network -- which should position you only a couple degrees of separation from virtually any prospect you've identified to target -- and our portfolio of successful case studies will make a powerful combination. There is a dedicated Client Services and Quality team to grow the clients you land, allowing you to focus on bringing in additional business.

Why Come Home to DT

Unlimited potential -- we've already said it, but it's worth repeating here: you will not be limited by territory or industry. Though we have specialized recruiters who focus on IT recruiting, manufacturing, sales, finance and other key verticals, we are not restricted by geography, industry or job family. We can staff a new warehouse location, find a key Network Engineer role, and fill positions from Accountants and Customer Service Associates to Executive VPs and C-Suite talent . . . and everything in between! If a prospect is not an existing customer, no matter their industry, size or location, you're free to pursue them.

Proven, team-supported model -- we focus on building long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships with clients and support their projects with our tried and tested recruiting model. Our robust model includes an in depth conversation with a professional writer leading to the creation of our patented Jobinfo Writeup (you're reading one now), updates from and access to a seasoned recruitment partner, the services of sourcers, ad specialists, project managers, QA and more. We also create a wide-reaching broadcast strategy in web media, and provide access to our user-friendly Recruiting Machine, an in-house developed, web-based recruiting system. With our tools and talent, on average, we're able to present winning candidates within 14 days.

Client satisfaction-- we're thriving, with a nationwide list of clients in just about every industry vertical, including smaller startups as well as major names like Makita USA, Penhall, Caesars Entertainment Corporation and many more. We've administered over 15,000 client satisfaction surveys over the years, and our median score is 95%. We're confident enough in the quality of our processes that we offer a 12-month candidate warranty, unrivaled in the industry! 

Unlimited opportunity -- our foundation is strong and we're on a steady incline. This position is being added to leverage our growth and ride the momentum to the next level. With our tools and your talent, the sky's the limit!   

Strong culture in a 100% virtual environment -- everyone at DT works virtually out of a home office. It's a business model that our employees love! Of course, to thrive in a virtual environment you must be self-motivated, have exceptional time management skills, and the drive to excel. Every person on the team has those qualities and if they don't, we know quickly. You can't hide poor work habits in a virtual company, meaning whomever picks up the ball will run with it! Ours, however, is not a competitive environment. We don't compete with each other; we're all "A" players who compete with ourselves, always striving for improvement. If you're driven to stretch yourself and explore how you can reach and exceed your goals by working smarter and better, you'll fit right in.

More about culture -- At Decision Toolbox, our culture is our foundation; it's at the core of everything we do. You're only as successful as your weakest link, and together we ensure that the resources and talent are in place so that no one has to struggle and we all can work to our full potential. In our distinctive culture we get to:
  • Collaborate with inter-organizational teams
  • Participate in the direction of the company and in decisions
  • Mentor and be mentored
  • Continuously develop our professional skills
  • Learn best practices from best in class people
  • Work for an incredibly ethical, compassionate, caring company
  • Share knowledge using a variety of technologies
  • Participate in monthly philanthropic opportunities 
  • Take a break in our virtual break room
In addition, individual successes are noticed. You'll enjoy virtual high-fives, kudos in our weekly newsletter, a helping hand and encouragement on the hard days, and cheers on the good days. The entire company gets together once each year and you'd never know we were virtual. It always feels like old home week! 

Excellent compensation -- the tools, the growth, the culture...it's all wonderful, but you're in sales and that means you want to build a lucrative book of business. At DT you can have your cake and eat it too...we pay a base + uncapped commission and you can always call in our CEO or Chief Growth Officer to help you close a tough deal. Both still love the hunt and want to see you succeed!

Keys to Success

We have found that chaining through networks, referrals, and contacts, simply sharing Decision Toolbox's results with targeted companies is a sales formula that really works, so a salesperson with an evangelist approach will do well.

While we expect you’ll be quick off the line, you’ll also need to dedicate some time to learn our systems, products, model, etc. We know you know how to sell, but in order to be an outstanding Strategic Account Executive, you will also:
  • Bring a highly responsive and resourceful approach to the needs, requests, and issues of clients and potential clients
  • Leverage your creativity, not only in finding high-potential new clients, but also in going up against bigger, flashier competitors
  • Listen to the data and leverage the knowledge: we have multiple measures and metrics in place and continuously take the pulse of our clients and employees to inform continuous improvement 
  • Take the time, when you don't land a deal, to understand why, and leverage that understanding moving forward
  • Be willing to roll up your sleeves to achieve your objectives
  • Remain flexible in a changing environment

We are recognized as a thought leader by organizations such as SHRM, PIHRA, and the NHRA, are a four time winner of the Alfred P.
