> HR Rethought · Prairie Village, United States · Full-time · Posted 2026-05-11

**Workplace:** on_site

**Department:** HR-Rethought

## Description

### About the Role

This is not a traditional sales position.

We are looking for someone who thrives on building real relationships, connecting with business owners, and creating opportunities through trust and credibility. This role is highly relationship-driven and community-focused.

You will serve as the front door of HR-Rethought — representing our brand in the market, developing strategic partnerships, and helping drive company growth.

If you enjoy being out in the community, meeting leaders, and turning relationships into long-term business opportunities, we’d love to meet you.

### What You’ll Do

-   Spend the majority of your time networking, meeting business leaders, and building relationships in the community
-   Identify and connect with business owners, executives, and referral partners
-   Generate new opportunities for HR and Recruiting services
-   Set meetings for yourself and other members of the leadership team when appropriate
-   Close business opportunities independently and collaborate with the CEO on larger opportunities when needed
-   Build and maintain a strong network of referral partners including attorneys, CPAs, private equity groups, consultants, and business leaders
-   Stay informed on market trends and business challenges to identify where HR-Rethought can provide value
-   Maintain consistent follow-up and relationship management with prospects and partners

### What Success Looks Like

-   Consistently bringing qualified opportunities into the business
-   Building a strong and trusted professional network in Kansas City and surrounding markets
-   Converting relationships into long-term clients
-   Knowing when to lead opportunities independently and when to involve other team members
-   Driving measurable business growth — not just staying busy networking

### What We’re Looking For

-   Strong relationship-building and networking skills
-   Comfortable engaging with business owners and executive leaders
-   Self-motivated with the ability to work independently
-   Consistent follow-through and strong communication skills
-   Ability to ask for business professionally and confidently without being overly transactional
-   High integrity and a long-term relationship mindset
-   Experience in business development, partnerships, staffing, HR services, recruiting, consulting, or B2B sales is preferred

### What This Role Is Not

-   An inside sales position
-   A marketing or social media role
-   Simply attending networking events and handing out business cards
-   A structured, behind-the-desk corporate role

This is a growth-focused position built around relationships, visibility, and business development.

### Compensation & Growth

-   Competitive base salary
-   Commission structure tied to revenue generated
-   Significant growth opportunity as the company continues to expand

### Apply

If this sounds like the kind of role you’ve been looking for, we would love to connect with you.
