ABOUT THIS ROLE

We're hiring three people to learn every role in a staffing office from the ground up -- sales, recruiting, client service, and team leadership -- and grow into running one of our three St. Louis metro locations over a 7-year path. If you want to build something real and are willing to earn it, we want to meet you.

We're a family-owned Express Employment Professionals franchise in St. Louis. These three individuals will have direct access to the owners of the business to accelerate their growth.

We need hunters, not zookeepers. A zookeeper shows up, takes care of what's already there, and goes home. Nothing wrong with that. Just not what we're hiring for.

COMPENSATION

Base starts at $50k+. Uncapped commission on top of that. Top performers earn cash bonuses, trips, and experiences. Leadership offsites, Express national conferences, learning trips. The whole package is built to reward people who perform.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS

You rotate through every role in the office before you lead any of them. Five roles, all of them real, with real clients, real candidates, and real accountability to real numbers.

Outside Sales Representative: Your job is to go find business. 100+ sales calls per week by phone and in person. You manage a Top 20 Hit List of target companies, book appointments, negotiate rates, and close new accounts. Minimum two new clients per week after 90 days is the standard. You also run MPC calls -- Most Placeable Candidate calls -- where you take a strong candidate to market to open new client doors. You learn fast what it means to own a pipeline.

Employment Specialist: The engine room. You fill job orders with urgency, run inside sales calls daily, recruit and interview candidates, and keep placements moving. You stay locked in sync with the sales rep because every phone call is a sales opportunity if you treat it right. Recruiting and sales are the same muscle, just pointed in different directions.

Recruiting Specialist: Volume and speed. 100 outbound calls per day to schedule at least 33 in-person interviews, with 27 kept. You drive the candidate pipeline that keeps the whole office running. You learn what it takes to keep it full and what happens when you don't.

Front Office Coordinator: Every person who walks through the door or calls the office forms their opinion of Express in the first 10 seconds. You own that. You manage applicant flow and process applications. This is the role most future leaders skip -- you won't skip it.

Employment Specialist Variants (Generalist/Light Industrial, Office Services, Skilled Trades): Three specialty versions across distinct market segments. Generalist is the highest-volume variant across manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution. Same core skills, different markets, different clients. You learn all three.

THE PATHWAY

Years 1 and 2 -- Phases 1, 2, and 3: You're in the rotation. Learning every role, owning your individual numbers, and starting to build and manage your own accounts.

Years 3 through 5 -- Phase 4: You're leading a team. Coaching, running one-on-ones, holding people accountable to their numbers, contributing to weekly performance reviews, and helping set goals for the office.

Years 6 and 7 -- Phase 5: You're running an office. Full responsibility for people, performance, and results. Sales strategy, recruiting pipeline, client relationships, team development.

This is a 7-year build. We know that's a real commitment. We're making the same one.
