Responsibilities
- Build and continuously qualify a healthy pipeline of candidates through proactive outreach, referrals, and ongoing nurture of prospective Chair relationships.
- Educate and inspire candidates on the Vistage Executive Coaching model and the purpose-driven nature of the work, positioning the opportunity in a way that resonates with senior executives who may not be actively looking.

- Extend verbal offers and manage all downstream steps, including assessments, agreements, background checks, and enrolment in the Vistage Chair Academy.
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date candidate records in Salesforce (or equivalent CRM/ATS) to support pipeline visibility, reporting, and forecasting.
- Partner with regional leadership, existing Chairs, and internal stakeholders to align on hiring priorities and local market needs.
Requirements
- Proven track record recruiting for, or selling to, senior executives in a competitive market, with strong skills in sourcing, qualifying, and closing high-level candidates.
- A genuine relationship-builder with a strong interest in people and what motivates experienced leaders to consider a career change.
- Ability to communicate a complex opportunity clearly and compellingly, in writing and in conversation, to busy C-level candidates.
- Strong candidate management and negotiation skills, with sound judgement on when to move a conversation forward and when to give a candidate space.
- Comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-paced, evolving environment, adapting quickly as priorities shift.
- Experience with Salesforce or a comparable CRM/ATS for candidate tracking and pipeline reporting.
- Skilled in LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, and other sourcing platforms, with comfort incorporating AI-assisted sourcing and research tools into day-to-day workflow.
