Recruiter

Description

Our client, a growing real estate organization, is hiring an outgoing, phone-confident Business Development Representative for its downtown Chicago team. This is a fully onsite, contract-to-hire opportunity and a highly outbound, sales-driven role focused on cold calling and lead follow-up. In this outbound sales role, you’ll call real estate agents who have engaged with the company’s email campaigns, introduce its technology platform, book software demos, and build interest in agents joining the organization. This is not a traditional recruiter role. The ideal candidate will be outgoing, confident on the phone, tech-savvy, and motivated by relationship-building and results. The role can start part-time and move to full-time. It’s contract-to-hire with strong long-term potential.

Key Responsibilities

• Make a high volume of outbound calls to real estate agents

• Follow up on marketing leads and contact prospects who have opened email campaigns

• Introduce the company’s software platform and explain its value to agents

• Schedule and help facilitate demos of the technology

• Build relationships with agents and generate interest in joining the organization

• Track outreach, follow-ups, and lead status in internal systems

• Maintain professionalism and energy in a fast-paced sales environment

Requirements

• Previous Sales, business development, or other outbound phone experience (preferred)

• Strong communication skills and comfort with cold calling

• An outgoing, results-driven approach and comfort with high-volume outreach

• Tech savvy, with the ability to walk prospects through a software demo

• Real estate industry knowledge or experience (a plus)

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and the ability to learn proprietary systems quickly
