We're Not Looking for Average. We're Looking for a Builder.

Some professionals maintain accounts. Others create opportunities, win business, develop relationships, and drive revenue.

We're hiring the second kind.

Grand Workforce Solutions Center LLC is launching an ambitious professional staffing and workforce solutions company headquartered in Southaven, Mississippi, serving the greater Memphis metropolitan area.

We are seeking an exceptional Director of Staffing & Business Development to help establish our presence, secure employer partnerships, recruit outstanding talent, and develop a high-performing staffing operation.

This opportunity is for someone who thinks like an entrepreneur, executes like an executive, and understands the importance of strategy, discipline, and results.

If you've spent years producing results for someone else's staffing company and are ready for an opportunity to help shape and grow an organization, we want to meet you.

The Opportunity

This is more than a traditional recruiting position.

You will work directly with executive leadership to develop employer partnerships, generate new business, build recruitment pipelines, and contribute to the long-term growth of our staffing division.

We want someone with the confidence to speak with CEOs, HR directors, and business owners and demonstrate why their organization should partner with us.

Someone who understands sales cycles, relationship management, staffing margins, client retention, and revenue growth.

You will have the opportunity to help build a business, not simply inherit a desk.
