Business Sales Executive

This Is Not a Relationship-Order-Taker Role.

This role is for a challenger—someone who teaches, reframes, and leads clients to better decisions.

At LHH Recruitment Solutions, our most successful Sales Executives don’t just build pipelines—they challenge assumptions, diagnose real business pain, and show leaders what’s possible when talent strategy is done right.

If you thrive on smart conversations, competitive markets, and winning business by out‑thinking rather than out‑schmoozing—keep reading.

The Opportunity

As a Sales Executive, you will own new business development across mid‑market and enterprise clients, partnering with senior leaders in HR, Finance, Operations, and Supply Chain. You’ll sell professional recruiting solutions (permanent search, interim, and project-based talent), not resumes.

You will:

• Lead with insight, not pricing
• Challenge clients who are under‑investing, mis-hiring, or stuck in reactive talent cycles
• Win business by earning credibility quickly and reframing how clients think about hiring risk and ROI

What You’ll Do

• Drive net-new business through high-quality prospecting, discovery meetings, and executive-level conversations
• Teach clients something new about their talent market, hiring risks, or operating model
• Reframe “we’re fine” into “we need to act”
• Build and manage a robust pipeline with discipline and urgency
• Partner closely with Recruiters and Delivery Leaders to ensure what you sell gets delivered at a premium level
• Push back (professionally) when clients ask for discounts, shortcuts, or misaligned solutions
• Own your number—activity, pipeline, conversion, and GP$

What Success Looks Like

• Strong, consistent outbound activity (calls, meetings, client visits)
• Executive-level conversations—not HR order taking
• Clear command of the local talent market and competitive landscape
• Fast ramp to revenue with increasing deal size and solution complexity
• A reputation with clients as a trusted advisor who tells them the truth

You’re Likely a Fit If You:

• Have 3–7+ years of B2B sales experience (staffing, professional services, SaaS, consulting preferred)
• Are comfortable challenging senior leaders respectfully
• Prepare for meetings and hate “winging it”
• Ask great questions—and follow up with insight
• Don’t blame the market, pricing, or delivery for missed numbers
• Want to build a long-term book of business, not quick wins

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary + uncapped incentive plan
• Clear expectations and transparent metrics
• Strong delivery engine—you don’t sell alone
• Backing of the Adecco Group and the LHH global brand
• Career path for top performers into leadership or larger markets
• A culture that rewards effort, discipline, and results—not excuses
