About LocaliQ

At LocaliQ, part of the USA TODAY Network, we help businesses grow through powerful marketing technology, trusted audience reach, and the expertise to turn it into results.

In this role, you’ll help small and mid-sized businesses solve one of their biggest challenges: finding and hiring the right talent. You’ll connect businesses with recruitment marketing and advertising solutions designed to help them reach qualified candidates and build stronger teams.

You’ll combine sales expertise with marketing solutions across channels such as SEO, SEM, Social Media, OTT/CTV, Display Advertising, and more to help clients attract the people they need to grow.

About the Role

Our Inside Sales Representative – Recruitment Specialist role is a high-energy, consultative sales position for someone who loves building relationships, uncovering business needs, and turning opportunities into results.

You’ll work with businesses nationwide, prospecting for new clients while also managing and growing your own book of business. From the first cold call or virtual meeting through the close and campaign launch, you’ll own the client relationship and serve as a trusted partner throughout the sales process.

You’ll work closely with Client Success Managers to launch and optimize recruitment campaigns, giving you the opportunity to stay connected to the client beyond the initial sale and help ensure their recruitment marketing efforts deliver results.

This is a role where your activity, consistency, and ability to build relationships directly impact your success and earning potential.
