This is not a holding pattern role; it is the first chapter of a clearly defined career in sales. As an SDR, you will be responsible for generating qualified meetings through a mix of outbound prospecting and inbound lead qualification. You will work closely with your field sales counterparts to hand off those meetings, ensuring every introduction is well-briefed, timely, and set up to convert. This role is also the foundation of your sales career. The skills, commercial instincts, and client relationships you build here are what will prepare you for promotion to Business Development Manager within 6 to 12 months, where you will own the full sales cycle from first conversation to close. This role is built on two foundations. First, execution: showing up, doing the work, and consistently delivering output. Second, growth: developing the judgment, curiosity, and persuasion skills that turn a good SDR into a great closer.

You do not need to have worked in staffing before. You do need to be the kind of person who finds a way to get things done. Execution - you deliver consistent output and pipeline Grit / Resilience You sustain performance through rejection. A tough week doesn't derail you - it sharpens your focus. Activity Capacity You are comfortable with high-volume outreach and bring structure and energy to every day. Work Ethic / Discipline You manage your own time, set your own targets, and don't need close supervision to stay on track. Coachability You take feedback fast and apply it faster.
