Posted on: September 2, 2026

Step into a role where your expertise will directly shape the future of talent acquisition for the world’s most influential brands, driving strategic success through innovative market building and the precise placement of critical digital and AI talent.

About Our Partner

Aquent is proud to partner with a global leader in talent acquisition, an organization dedicated to empowering businesses worldwide to navigate the complexities of digital transformation and AI integration. This innovative partner connects exceptional talent with impactful opportunities, leveraging cutting-edge technology and a deep understanding of market dynamics to shape the workforce of tomorrow. They become a vital extension of their clients’ teams, driving strategic success by securing the talent that fuels innovation and growth.

About The Opportunity

Imagine yourself at the forefront of talent innovation, not just filling positions, but actively shaping the talent landscape for leading organizations navigating digital transformation and AI integration. This is your chance to operate an autonomous, 360-degree desk, empowered to build your own market within the dynamic sectors of marketing, creative, digital, technology, and AI orchestration. You will be instrumental in identifying emerging needs, consulting at the highest levels, and creating bespoke talent solutions that drive strategic success for businesses worldwide, making a tangible impact on their ability to innovate and grow.

What You’ll Do

  • Proactively scan the market for organizational pivots, digital transformation programs, and AI initiatives to unlock exclusive contract, freelance, and permanent talent solutions.
  • Partner with senior executives across marketing, technology, and human resources to help them audit, map, and secure hybrid talent capable of steering business strategy.
  • Own the end-to-end process, from cultivating lasting client partnerships to engaging top-tier marketing, design, and digital tech professionals.
  • Position yourself as the go-to specialist in emerging niches, such as AI Product Management, UX/CX Design, Data Analytics, or Generative AI Engineering.

Why You’ll Thrive Here

This organization is committed to your success and well-being, offering a unique environment where elite performers excel:

  • True Flexible Work Practices: Enjoy full autonomy over your desk with zero micromanagement. Receive a monthly Work Tech Cheque to cover your work technology expenses, fostering absolute trust to deliver outcomes.
  • Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO): Beyond statutory annual leave, you have the freedom to take the time you need to recharge, plus an extra 5 days during the December festive season.
  • Uncapped Earning Potential: Benefit from a transparent, market-leading commission structure designed to heavily reward top producers, with no thresholds and no ceilings.
  • Annual Employee Learning Fund: Invest aggressively in your growth with up to $8,000 every single year for external courses, degrees, certifications, or professional development.
  • The AI and Tech Advantage: Gain access to industry-leading proprietary technology and predictive data tools that pinpoint buying signals before they become formal job requirements.
  • “We Before Me” Culture: Work alongside a highly collaborative, supportive national team that celebrates big wins without the toxic internal politics.

Who You Are

You are a trailblazer who treats their desk like a business. You understand that business strategy translates directly into workforce demand, and you know how to walk into a room and ask the questions others miss. You are commercially curious, always staying ahead of industry shifts, tech advancements, and macro-economic announcements to spot hiring needs before your competitors do.

Must-Have Qualifications

  • 3+ years of agency recruitment or business development experience, with a documented history of consistently exceeding targets and hitting high-value billings.
  • Excellent communication and consultative selling skills, with the natural confidence to influence senior enterprise stakeholders.
  • Fully comfortable working in a self-driven environment, seeing possibilities where others see obstacles.
