Field Recruiter

Love meeting new people? Hate sitting behind a desk? This might be the perfect role for you.

Ethos Sales is building a brand-new sales team in the Poughkeepsie area, and we're looking for an energetic, people-focused recruiter to help us find the right talent to fuel our growth.

This isn't your typical recruiting job. You won't spend your days scrolling through résumés or sitting behind a computer posting job ads. Instead, you'll be out in the community, building relationships, creating connections, and identifying great people wherever you go. We're looking for someone who naturally starts conversations, enjoys networking, takes initiative, and gets excited about matching the right people with the right opportunity. If you thrive on meeting people, building relationships, and making things happen, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Do

As a Field Recruiter, you'll play a key role in building our team by actively finding and attracting great talent.

Your days may include:

• Networking throughout the Poughkeepsie area, surrounding communities, and beyond—there are no geographical limits as long as you're finding candidates who can work within our assigned sales territories.
• Building relationships with potential candidates in person.
• Attending community events, job fairs, networking opportunities, and other places where great people gather.
• Creating partnerships with local businesses, colleges, gyms, sports clubs, and community organizations.
• Conducting interviews and identifying top talent.
• Guiding candidates through the hiring process.
• Following up with new hires to help ensure a successful start.
• Constantly looking for creative ways to find great people.

This is a role for someone who enjoys being out and about—not sitting behind a desk.

Who We Think You Are

We believe you'll be especially successful if you're already part of the local community and enjoy building meaningful relationships. Ideally, you're already well connected in the Poughkeepsie area and surrounding communities, with an existing network that can help kick-start your recruiting efforts. You know people, people know you, and you're the kind of person others naturally enjoy talking to and trust.

You'll likely thrive in this role if you:

• Love talking to new people and naturally build rapport.
• Are outgoing, confident, and approachable.
• Enjoy networking and creating genuine relationships.
• Take initiative instead of waiting to be told what to do.
• Are self-motivated and driven by results.
• Like the freedom to manage your own day.
• Enjoy being on the road rather than sitting behind a desk.
• Believe the best talent is found through conversations, referrals, and community connections—not just online job boards.
• Have an entrepreneurial mindset and enjoy building something from the ground up.

Don't have recruiting experience? That's okay. If you're naturally great with people, eager to learn, and excited to help build a team from the ground up, we'd love to meet you. We hire for attitude, initiative, and potential just as much as experience.

Compensation

This role includes a base salary, but the greatest earning potential comes from your performance.

Your compensation includes:

• Base salary
• Uncapped commission for successful hires
• Performance-based bonuses
• The opportunity to significantly increase your income through your own results

If you're someone who wants your effort and performance to directly impact your paycheck, you'll love this opportunity.
