Business Development Executive — Recruiting & Workforce Solutions

Business Development Executive — Recruiting Sales Location: Fully remote; Texas-based preferred Focus: Oil & Gas, Engineering, Project Controls and Industrial Recruiting This is a 1099 role for now. Compensation: 40% commission with no earnings cap Ramp Support: Optional recoverable draw for up to three months Keep More of What You Produce Vader-Rey Companies is looking for an experienced recruiting-sales hunter who already knows the market, has an established book of business, and wants to keep a larger share of the revenue they create. Most recruiting sales professionals win the client, open the account, and generate the opportunity—then receive a small percentage after the company takes its share. We are offering a different model. You bring in the client. Our recruiting team completes the search. You earn 40% of collected placement fees. There is no complicated commission ladder and no earnings cap. We are also willing to provide a recoverable draw for up to three months to help the right person make the transition. But if you are an ace with active relationships and real opportunities, you may not need it. About Vader-Rey Companies Vader-Rey provides strategic recruiting solutions for companies that need experienced professionals and leaders in critical roles. Our recruiting focus includes: • Oil and gas • Engineering and project controls • Energy and infrastructure • Data centers and mission-critical construction • Industrial operations • Construction and skilled trades • Executive and leadership positions • Other difficult-to-fill professional roles Vader-Rey currently has active recruitment missions in the United States, Brazil, and Scotland. We are growing our client base, expanding our reach, and building a company capable of delivering specialized talent across multiple markets. The company was built without debt and has never carried debt. We have grown through real business, disciplined decisions, and delivering results for our clients. The Role This is a sales and business-development position—not a recruiting desk. Your responsibility is to find the business, win the business, and grow the account. You will identify prospective clients, build relationships with decision-makers, uncover hiring needs, secure signed recruiting agreements, and maintain the commercial relationship. Once you bring in a qualified role, Vader-Rey’s recruiter takes over candidate sourcing and delivery. Our team handles résumé review, screening, candidate management, interview coordination, and placement execution. You remain focused on what you do best: opening doors, developing relationships, closing agreements, and generating more business. What You’ll Do • Develop new recruiting clients across oil and gas, engineering, project controls, construction, and related industries • Leverage your existing book of business and professional relationships to create new opportunities • Prospect through direct outreach, referrals, networking, industry events, and strategic account development • Build relationships with executives, hiring managers, talent-acquisition leaders, project leaders, and other decision-makers • Lead discovery calls and understand each client’s hiring challenges • Present Vader-Rey’s recruiting capabilities and fee structure • Negotiate terms and secure signed recruiting agreements • Gather complete job requirements and conduct an organized handoff to our recruiter • Maintain ownership of the commercial client relationship throughout the search • Help resolve client-side issues and keep communication moving • Expand existing accounts into additional roles, locations, departments, and business units • Maintain an accurate and active sales pipeline • Represent Vader-Rey professionally in the market What We Provide • A flat 40% commission structure • Uncapped earning potential • An optional recoverable draw for up to three months • A dedicated recruiter to source, screen, and manage candidates • Recruiting technology and sourcing resources • Agreement, proposal, invoicing, and operational support • Immediate access to the CEO • Fast decisions without layers of corporate approval • International recruiting capabilities • A casual, direct, and entrepreneurial work environment • A debt-free company with the infrastructure to deliver No Corporate Red Tape This is not a large staffing company where every decision requires multiple meetings and approval from someone who has never spoken to the client. We operate quickly, communicate directly, and solve problems without turning everything into a committee meeting. The culture is casual, but the expectations are real. We care about production, responsiveness, client relationships, and doing what we say we will do. We are not interested in corporate theater or micromanagement. Who We’re Looking For We want someone who: • Has a strong existing book of business or established relationships they can lawfully pursue • Has meaningful experience selling recruiting services in the oil-and-gas market • Understands engineering, project controls, industrial operations, or construction hiring • Has a demonstrated record of opening accounts and closing recruiting agreements • Knows how to reach senior decision-makers • Can generate opportunities without relying on inbound leads • Is confident making calls, asking for business, and following up consistently • Wants autonomy and direct access to leadership • Prefers a fast-moving entrepreneurial company over a heavily layered corporate structure • Works independently without constant supervision • Wants to keep more of the revenue they generate We are not asking anyone to violate a confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-compete, or other contractual obligation. We want someone with genuine industry credibility and relationships they are legally permitted to pursue. Compensation This opportunity pays a flat 40% commission with no earnings cap. Commissions are calculated from direct-hire placement fees collected by Vader-Rey. They are paid after Vader-Rey receives payment from the client and are subject to the final commission agreement, including guarantee-period adjustments, refunds, credits, cancellations, and chargebacks. There is no equity component and no complicated system of commission tiers. You produce. You earn 40%. Optional Draw We are willing to provide a recoverable draw for up to three months to help the right person transition into the role. The draw is an advance against future commissions. It is not a salary or additional compensation. The draw is available if needed, but it is not the heart of this opportunity. The real value is the ability to earn 40% with no cap while having a recruiting team behind you to complete the work.
