Description

Position Summary:

Cordia Resources, a premier financial staffing and recruiting firm and a proud part of the Cherry Bekaert platform, is seeking a seasoned and self-directed Business Development Professional. This role is responsible for generating new client relationships and expanding Cordia’s presence within Cherry Bekaert’s vast network of client-facing professionals.

The ideal candidate will bring deep staffing industry experience—especially in finance, accounting, HR, or IT—and a strong personal playbook for generating business in both the project staffing and permanent placement spaces. This role is focused equally on new business development, strategic internal collaboration, and cross-selling complementary services, including select HR and IT staffing as well as other solutions across the broader Cherry Bekaert platform.

Key Responsibilities:

+ Generate new business in project staffing and permanent placement for mid-to-senior-level finance and accounting roles

+ Build and maintain strategic relationships with client-facing professionals at Cherry Bekaert to uncover cross-selling opportunities

+ Identify and sell select HR and IT staffing roles that align with Cordia’s boutique delivery capabilities

+ Spot opportunities to introduce Cherry Bekaert’s broader services (e.g., tax, advisory, digital transformation) into shared client environments

+ Represent Cordia at industry events, conferences, and firm-sponsored gatherings to expand market presence and brand visibility

+ Collaborate closely with delivery teams to ensure successful fulfillment of client needs

+ Manage and negotiate client agreements with support from Cordia operations

+ Maintain accurate pipeline tracking and revenue forecasting, with a long-term relationship-building approach rather than KPI micromanagement

What Success Looks Like:

At 6 Months:

+ Active engagement with Cherry Bekaert partners and development of initial referral relationships

+ Acquisition of 3-5 new clients

+ Contribution to early-stage project staffing or perm placement opportunities

At 12 Months:

+ Consistent inflow of job requisitions from both new clients and Cherry Bekaert relationships

+ Meaningful revenue contribution from both perm and temp engagements

+ Strong brand reputation with clients, internal teams, and Cherry Bekaert partners

Compensation:

+ Competitive base salary with a healthy draw structure

+ Commission at 50% of gross profit on all placements

+ No caps, no accelerators—pure performance-driven earnings

+ Full benefits + access to top-tier events and networking platforms

Ideal Candidate Persona:

+ Experienced Staffing Pro: 8–12+ years of BD or full-desk recruiting in professional services (F&A preferred); portable network a plus

+ Entrepreneurial Operator: Has a playbook that works, thrives with independence, and doesn’t need rigid KPIs to perform

+ Relationship Builder: Long-game mindset. Deep listener, connector, and presence-builder across client and internal teams

+ Creative Seller: Comfortable selling consultative solutions, mixing perm/project offerings, and adapting to evolving client needs

+ Strategic Collaborator: Can engage with partners inside Cherry Bekaert to build trust and influence, not just ask for leads

+ Must have Bachelors Degree
