The ideal candidate will bring deep staffing industry experience—especially in finance, accounting, HR, or IT—and a strong personal playbook for generating business in both the project staffing and permanent placement spaces. This role is focused equally on new business development, strategic internal collaboration, and cross-selling complementary services, including select HR and IT staffing as well as other solutions across the broader Cherry Bekaert platform.

Represent Cordia at industry events, conferences, and firm-sponsored gatherings to expand market presence and brand visibility

Collaborate closely with delivery teams to ensure successful fulfillment of client needs

Manage and negotiate client agreements with support from Cordia operations

Maintain accurate pipeline tracking and revenue forecasting, with a long-term relationship-building approach rather than KPI micromanagement

What Success Looks Like:

At 6 Months:

Active engagement with Cherry Bekaert partners and development of initial referral relationships

Acquisition of 3-5 new clients

Contribution to early-stage project staffing or perm placement opportunities

At 12 Months:

Consistent inflow of job requisitions from both new clients and Cherry Bekaert relationships

Meaningful revenue contribution from both perm and temp engagements

No caps, no accelerators—pure performance-driven earnings

Full benefits + access to top-tier events and networking platforms

Ideal Candidate Persona:

Experienced Staffing Pro: 8–12+ years of BD or full-desk recruiting in professional services (F&A preferred); portable network a plus

Entrepreneurial Operator: Has a playbook that works, thrives with independence, and doesn’t need rigid KPIs to perform

Relationship Builder: Long-game mindset. Deep listener, connector, and presence-builder across client and internal teams

Creative Seller: Comfortable selling consultative solutions, mixing perm/project offerings, and adapting to evolving client needs

Strategic Collaborator: Can engage with partners inside Cherry Bekaert to build trust and influence, not just ask for leads
