Director of Business Development

Empowered Staffing is growing, and we're looking for a high-performing business development leader to help expand our footprint nationwide. This is not an entry-level sales role. We are looking for someone who already has established relationships within industries we serve-senior living, healthcare, behavioral health, private equity, professional services, and related sectors-and knows how to turn those relationships into long-term client partnerships. The ideal person has experience in staffing, recruiting, workforce solutions, HR services, PEO, or adjacent industries where they've built trust with decision-makers and understand hiring pain points at the mid-to-executive level.

What you'll do:

• Drive new business development and client acquisition

• Leverage existing relationships to generate recruiting and staffing opportunities

• Build strategic partnerships with owners, operators, executives, and hiring leaders

• Identify hiring pain points and position Empowered Staffing as a trusted talent partner

• Collaborate with our recruiting team to ensure successful delivery

• Expand opportunities across permanent placement, executive search, and staffing solutions

What we're looking for:

• 3+ years experience (with a proven track record) in business development, sales, or client acquisition

• Existing network of decision-makers that can translate into business opportunities

• Background in staffing/recruiting, workforce solutions, HR, PEO, healthcare services, or related B2B industries strongly preferred

• Hunter mentality with strong relationship-building skills

• Ability to open doors and close deals-not just cold call

• Self-starter with entrepreneurial mindset

Why Empowered Staffing?

• Established executive search firm with strong reputation since 2014

• Access to experienced recruiting team and delivery infrastructure

• Opportunity to build your book and scale with us

• Flexible, entrepreneurial environment

• Strong commission structure with uncapped earning potential

If you have relationships, know how to create opportunities, and want to build something meaningful, we'd love to connect.
