Who do we Hire

Often we hire from outside our industry. but we’ll certainly consider you if you have some experience in the IT Services and Engineering Staffing and Solutions business. Often, we hire people who have sold products or services but that’s not even a hard and fast “gotta have it” rule. We are looking for the right person, not the right background.

Recruiters who have demonstrated success at RiverPoint have some things in common, so these are the traits we evaluate.

Culture Fit

We want someone who can invest themselves in our mission and care about the work they do and the people they impact. Which leads to this….

Integrity, compassion, and a selfless attitude.

The foundation a strong relationship is integrity, compassion and a willingness to give something away. Your ability to get candidates engaged and cultivate relationships will be a key component to your success.

Organizational skills

This job has a tremendous number of ‘moving parts’. We have great tools to help you.

Multi-Tasking abilities.

You will be dealing with multiple priorities from one hour to the next. You’ll need to be able to think on your feet and turn on a dime which leads to this….

Oriented to Performance

We are not a “smile and dial” agency expecting you to make 50 calls a day but you’re going to be doing research, making calls, sending emails, writing resumes, and a bunch of other things every single day. This does not mean we expect you to work 55 hours a week (we won’t,) it means you have to care about how your work impacts the rest of the team and our customers.

Computer literacy

We provide the tools you’ll need and a path towards success.

Open to Coaching

The barrier to entry in the technical recruiting business is low. The hurdles you will jump to succeed are high. We have a demonstrated track record of taking people with no experience and helping them develop into high performing recruiters but much of that will depend on your ability to absorb complex information, learn from mistakes, and handling multiple work streams.

Handle frustration with a smile.

Recruiting is very rewarding, but it is also frustrating. You’ll experience highs and lows – sometimes in the same day. An ability to control what you can and recognize what you can’t while learning and growing will help build your success in this job.
