Talent Scout - Junior Recruiter

Your Season Isn't Over. It's Just Starting on a differnet playing field.

Junior Recruiter, Legal Tech Sales | Black Gavel Growth Partners

Location: Remote  
Type: Full-time, entry-level
Experience Required: None. Athletic background required.

You Just Finished Your Last Season

You spent four (or five) years waking up early, grinding in the weight room, watching film, taking coaching, losing, bouncing back, and doing it all over again. You weren't doing it for the money. You were doing it because you're wired to compete.

Now everyone's asking: What are you going to do with that?

Most jobs will ask you to slow down, fit in, and wait your turn.

This one will ask you to do the opposite.

What Black Gavel Does

Black Gavel Growth Partners is a specialized headhunting firm. We find and place elite sales talent inside high-growth legal tech and software companies. Our clients are building serious businesses, and they need serious sellers. Our job is to find those people and connect them to the right opportunity at the right moment.

Think of us as scouts. We build relationships with talent the others can't touch, build real relationships, and make matches that change people's careers.

It's a performance business. No performance, no commission. Great performance, great commissions. Simple.

Why This Role Is Built for You

Recruiting is sales. It's influence, persistence, and people skills.

Every skill you developed as a team sport athlete applies here:

Handling adversity: You'll hear "not interested" dozens of times a day. Athletes absorb that and keep moving. Most people can't.

Coachability: You've had coaches who challenged you and made you better. That's exactly how this team operates.

Team mentality: Our placements succeed when everyone on the team does their job. Lone wolves don't last.

Work ethic: The people who build real income here outwork and out-hustle their competition. Every single day.

Competitiveness: We keep score. Wins, calls, placements, commissions. You'll know exactly where you stand.

If you've ever been told you're "too intense" or "too competitive," that's not a flaw here. That's the job description.

What You'll Actually Do

You'll be trained from scratch to become a professional headhunter in the legal tech market. Daily work looks like this:

Research and sourcing: Identifying top sales talent across legal tech, CLM, and SaaS companies using LinkedIn, AI Tools, and referral networks

Outbound outreach: Calling, messaging, and engaging people who aren't necessarily looking for a new job and convincing them to hear you out anyway

Qualifying conversations: Running structured calls to understand someone's background, goals, and fit

Candidate development: Building real relationships with high-performing sales professionals over time

Pipeline management: Staying organized, following up consistently, and owning your activity

Learning the market: Getting smart fast on legal tech, SaaS sales, and what great performance looks like in enterprise sales roles

This is a high-activity, high-contact, high-energy role. It rewards people who show up ready to go every single day.

The Earning Potential Is Real

Base salary plus uncapped commission.

There is no ceiling. Your income grows directly with your output. Recruiters who build their craft and put in the work build six-figure incomes, and they do it faster than almost any other entry-level career path available to a graduating athlete.

This is not an internship. This is not a training program with a fixed end date. This is a career with a growth path that rewards performance, not tenure.

What We're Looking For

Required:

Former college athlete (any division, team sport background preferred)

Bachelor's degree

Exceptional verbal communication skills

Coachable, curious, and competitive by nature

Willing to pick up the phone, a lot

High resilience and doesn't fold under rejection or pressure

Genuine interest in building a business and income over time

A plus (but not required):

Any sales experience: phone sales, fundraising, summer jobs with commission, door-to-door, anything

Leadership experience on your team (captain, position leader, etc.)

Some adversity in your story, something you had to fight through

We have found, over and over again, that the athletes who fit our culture best are the ones who've faced something hard, an injury, a setback, a difficult season, and found a way through it. That experience creates grit that you simply cannot teach.

What You'll Get

Direct mentorship from experienced headhunters who specialize in legal tech and enterprise SaaS talent

Clear skill development: you'll know exactly what you're being trained on and where you're progressing

Real market knowledge in one of the fastest-growing sectors of the software industry

Uncapped income potential tied directly to your performance

A culture that respects hard work and tells you the truth, just like a good coaching staff

A path forward from Junior Recruiter to Recruiter to Senior Recruiter and Partner track

The Type of Person Who Thrives Here

You're wired to compete but know how to function in a team. You can take hard feedback without shutting down. You're hungry for income, for growth, for being great at something. You're naturally good with people and can build trust quickly. You know how to lose and come back the next day anyway.

You're not looking for a job where you clock in and coast. You want to be pushed.

If that sounds like you, let's talk.
