We are seeking proven professionals with 10+ years of successful business experience, earnings expectations well into six figures, and an entrepreneurial desire to build a business practice within our overall business.

rise44 LLC is a highly profitable, boutique executive search firm and a division of GM Ryan International www.gmryan.com. Senior executives trust us as ‘strategic advisors’ who provide world-class recruitment services. Specifically, our clients hire us to help them identify, attract, and secure specialized professional talent for critical roles within their organizations. We focus on a variety of functional areas including sales, marketing, BD, client success, ops, product, finance, and other visible positions within our client companies. We operate at a highly strategic, consultative, and methodical level and consistently earn repeat business from our clients.

rise44 largely focuses within “internet-enabled” businesses such as digital media (advertising, mobile, video, etc.), big data and analytics, ecommerce, marketing technology, and SaaS. We work with venture-backed startups through F500 corporations, representing companies in both consumer and enterprise modeled businesses throughout North America and western Europe. Due to demand and opportunity, we are excited to add new hires within our existing practice areas as well as new tangential industry sectors.

As noted, we are seeking proven professionals/leaders with minimum 10+ years commercial business experience who want to build their own professional services practice within our walls. The common theme in all professional services paths is that you, the ‘professional’, are the primary solution. We have outstanding systems, methodology, technology, marketing, etc. but the product we sell is our personal ability to communicate, represent our clients, and deliver efficient and positive results. Clients buy the value they perceive in the consultant (or they don’t).

If you’ve never considered a career as an executive search professional, you’re not alone. Our existing Partners all enjoyed rising and financially rewarding leadership careers for 10-20+ years prior to becoming executive recruiters. We’ve leveraged our previous business experience while mastering the art and science of executive search. Our model is based upon a fully developed, systematic, repeatable process proven to enable competent and disciplined mid/senior career professionals to thrive. This is not a job – it’s a professional service and long-term vocational vehicle for personal and financial independence through influencing and growing client relationships and outcomes.

The recruiters at rise44 bring a unique perspective to the business having been in the digital and/or software space in a variety of roles. As sellers and operators ‘in the trenches’, rise44 recruiters understand the real-world challenges and opportunities from both a candidate and client viewpoint.

Requirements
• Verifiable track record of success, ideally in new business development and/or long-term relationship-driven business model or consulting; sales is nice to have, but not required
• Consistent career management: solid tenures at previous companies, demonstrated track record of personal commitment
• A desire to separate yourself from other recruiters being best in class to both your candidates and clients
• Entrepreneurial: desire to leverage your experience and scale your own professional services business within a bigger business
• Desire to be highly effective at your profession, committed to quality performance
• Desire to be in a client-focused environment, long-term relationship sales
• Ability to bridge collegial communication and relate to influential senior executives over 
the phone and in-person (we are on the phone a lot)
• Unwavering commitment to “self-propelled sales activity”

We offer comprehensive training, resources, technology, ongoing support and direction, along with an opportunity for uncapped earnings, however we require self-actualizing professionals with an entrepreneurial spirit and deep personal commitment to succeed. The point of entry into recruiting isn’t all that difficult, but it’s littered with failed attempts due to inadequate focus on the fundamentals and a poor understanding of the complexities involved. That said, once a competent dedicated professional is committed and established, extraordinary success is highly achievable and sustainable.
