Junior Recruiter

Overview

This opportunity is with a recruitment and staffing firm that works solely on cybersecurity, data, and AI positions. Its client base is made up of enterprise companies with annual revenue of $1B+, including recognized businesses in financial services, retail, and automotive.

The role is designed as an entry point into a clear career path. Over time, it can lead to stronger earnings and broader responsibilities across recruiting, business development, or team leadership.

• Evidence of commitment and staying power from jobs held during high school and/or university.
• A driven, competitive, and self-starting mindset.
• Comfort with consistent follow-up and proactive communication.
• Strong emotional intelligence and a relationship-focused style.
• Residence in Toronto, or willingness to relocate, with an in-office presence on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at Bay and Richmond; during summer, this becomes two in-office days every other week.
• No recruiting or technology background is necessary, but a strong work ethic and resilience are essential.

Compensation and Benefits

• Annual base pay of $40,000.
• Expected first-year total earnings of $50,000 to $55,000.
• Expected second-year total earnings of $70,000 to $100,000.
