We are looking for an experienced Executive Search Consultant with a strong combination of recruiting expertise, business development experience, and established relationships within the IT and technology sector.
This is a true full-desk role, with equal responsibility for generating new business and delivering high-quality recruiting services. The ideal candidate has successfully built and managed client relationships, sold recruiting or executive search services, and personally executed searches from initial intake through placement.
Most importantly, we are looking for someone who brings an established book of business and network of client relationships within IT, technology, or closely related industries.
This person will have the opportunity to leverage existing relationships while continuing to develop new accounts, manage searches, and grow a profitable book of business.

- Build relationships with executives, founders, business owners, HR leaders, and talent acquisition decision-makers.
- Sell executive search, professional recruiting, and talent solutions to prospective clients.
- Conduct outbound business development through calls, email, LinkedIn, referrals, networking, and relationship-based selling.
- Lead discovery conversations to understand hiring challenges, organizational needs, and upcoming talent requirements.
- Negotiate search agreements, fees, terms, and client expectations.
- Develop existing accounts into long-term, repeat client relationships.
- Maintain an active pipeline of prospective clients and search opportunities.
Recruiting & Search Execution
- Manage searches from initial client intake through successful placement.
- Recruit across all levels, from specialized individual contributors and technical professionals to management and executive leadership.
- Conduct detailed intake meetings to understand the position, organization, technical requirements, culture, and ideal candidate profile.
- Develop sourcing and search strategies for difficult-to-fill and highly specialized positions.
- Identify and engage passive candidates through direct sourcing, referrals, networking, LinkedIn, databases, and industry relationships.
- Screen and assess candidates for technical capability, leadership experience, career motivation, compensation expectations, and overall fit.
- Present qualified candidates to clients with clear recommendations and market insight.
- Manage interviews, candidate feedback, offer negotiations, counteroffers, and closing.
- Maintain strong relationships with candidates and clients throughout the search process.
- Build long-term talent networks that support future searches and business development opportunities.
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in recruiting, executive search, staffing, or talent acquisition, ideally within an agency or search firm environment.
- Demonstrated experience in both recruiting and new business development.
- Strong experience recruiting within the IT and technology industry.
- Experience recruiting across multiple levels, including technical professionals, managers, directors, VPs, and executive leadership.
- An established book of business, client relationships, or strong network of hiring decision-makers within IT, technology, or related industries.
- Proven ability to generate recruiting business independently rather than relying exclusively on inbound or company-provided leads.
- Track record of developing new accounts and converting prospects into paying clients.
- Strong understanding of consultative and relationship-based sales.
- Experience managing the complete recruitment lifecycle from business development and intake through candidate placement.
- Strong sourcing and candidate engagement skills, particularly with passive talent.

Tips for Your Remote Executive Search Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote executive search openings from across the U.S. in one place. Check it regularly and apply directly to roles that match your background, since competitive remote positions close faster than on-site ones.
Document your async communication style
Remote executive search work runs on written updates, digital briefs, and video calls. Build a short portfolio of candidate summaries, search status reports, or position profiles you've written. These show hiring managers you can manage search execution without constant in-person contact.
Signal your ATS and sourcing tool fluency
Remote teams can't watch how you work, so they rely on your stated tool experience. Name the applicant tracking systems, sourcing platforms, and communication tools you've used in your resume and application. Specificity here replaces the proof an in-office observation would otherwise provide.
Prepare structured examples for remote interviews
Remote hiring panels move quickly and assess communication skills in real time. Prepare two or three concise examples of searches you've led or supported, framed around the problem, your remote process, and the outcome. Deliver them cleanly over video without relying on in-person rapport.
Remote Executive Search Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote executive search job?
Target companies that already operate with distributed teams, since they have the infrastructure and culture to support remote executive search work. Remote employers screen hard for self-direction, precise written communication, and the ability to manage candidate pipelines and client relationships without in-person contact. Demonstrating experience with video-based interviews, async collaboration tools, and digital ATS platforms gives your candidacy a concrete edge.
Which companies hire remote executive searchs?
Employers currently hiring remote executive searchs include Augmentis, BlackRock, and Falcon.io, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Remote-first firms, distributed professional services teams, and technology companies with global talent needs are the most consistent sources of remote executive search openings.
Can you get a remote executive search job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because you're expected to work independently from day one without in-office guidance. Remote-first boutique firms and early-stage companies are more likely to take a chance on entry-level candidates. You can strengthen your case by showing research work, documented sourcing projects, or demonstrated written communication skills that translate directly to remote candidate outreach.
Do you need a degree for remote executive search jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers in executive search weigh demonstrated sourcing ability, a record of closed searches, and strong written communication over a formal degree. Showing tangible results, such as documented placements or successful candidate pipelines you've managed, often carries more weight than credentials when hiring decisions are made at a distance.
