About PeopleLift
PeopleLift (DBA Visconti Group) is a twice Inc. 5000–recognized bilingual HR consulting, staffing, and AI workforce strategy firm with operations in Atlanta, Georgia and San Juan, Puerto Rico. We serve clients across the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Latin America, delivering talent and workforce solutions that help our partners grow. We are building a team of driven, consultative professionals who own their outcomes and take pride in the relationships they build.
About the Role
We are hiring a Business Development Recruiter to run a full-desk seat: win new clients, grow and retain the accounts you land, and personally deliver the placements that keep those clients coming back. This is a sales-forward role for someone who leads with new business but is equally comfortable managing the full recruiting cycle end to end. You will be the single point of accountability for your book of business — from first outreach to signed agreement to successful placement.
If you thrive on opening doors, closing deals, and seeing a search through to a hire, this role gives you complete ownership of both sides of the desk.
What You'll Do
New Business Development (primary focus)
- Identify, target, and win new client accounts across our core markets (Puerto Rico, Florida, Atlanta, and LATAM)
- Build and manage a healthy pipeline of prospective clients through outbound outreach, networking, referrals, and industry events
- Research target companies and decision-makers, and lead consultative sales conversations that position PeopleLift's staffing and workforce solutions
- Negotiate fees, terms, and service agreements, and move opportunities from first contact to signed engagement
- Represent PeopleLift at conferences, association events, and professional gatherings to generate leads
Account Management
- Serve as the primary point of contact for the clients you bring on, ensuring a high-quality experience at every stage
- Grow existing accounts by understanding client hiring needs, cross-selling services, and expanding volume over time
- Maintain strong, long-term client relationships that drive repeat business and referrals
- Track account health and proactively address issues before they affect retention
Recruiting & Delivery
- Own the full recruiting cycle for your accounts: intake, sourcing, screening, interviewing, presenting candidates, and closing offers
- Write clear, compliant job descriptions and market openings across relevant channels
- Source and qualify candidates using job boards, LinkedIn, the ATS, and proactive outreach
- Guide candidates through the interview and offer process and support a smooth start
