Independent Executive Search Consultant (1099) — Remote

Augmentis | Boutique Executive Search & Talent Augmentation Firm

About Augmentis

Augmentis is the executive search and talent augmentation arm of The Work In Me, LLC, a Houston-based firm with 18+ years in the recruiting industry. We specialize in placing Accounting, Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, and Engineering professionals — primarily serving energy, manufacturing, aerospace, and PE-backed companies across the United States.

We're not a staffing mill. We're a boutique firm built on consultative client relationships, strategic search methodology, and a commitment to quality over volume. Our partners get the infrastructure and brand support of an established firm with the autonomy and earning potential of running their own desk.

The Opportunity

We're looking for Independent Executive Search Consultants to join our growing team as 1099 partners. Whether you're an experienced full-desk recruiter ready to go independent, an agency recruiter looking to break free from a W-2 structure, or a corporate recruiting professional ready to transition into search — we want to talk to you.

This is a full-desk role. You'll develop client relationships, manage job orders, source and screen candidates, coordinate interviews, negotiate offers, and manage placements. You'll operate under the Augmentis brand with full support — CRM/ATS access, collaboration tools, sourcing partner support, and hands-on mentorship from our Managing Partner.

What You'll Do

Develop and manage client relationships across target industries (energy, manufacturing, aerospace, PE-backed companies, and more)
Own the full recruitment lifecycle: job order intake, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and placement management
Execute both permanent/direct-hire executive searches and temporary/contract placements
Maintain real-time activity logs, candidate tracking, and deal progress in our CRM
Collaborate with Augmentis leadership and sourcing partners on active searches
Represent the Augmentis brand with professionalism and consultative expertise

Compensation Structure

This is a commission-based independent contractor (1099) partnership with one of the most competitive structures in boutique search:

Permanent Placements

50% commission on your first three successful placements — designed to get you earning quickly
Tiered commission accelerators after your third placement, scaling up to 70% based on annual production
Full-desk ownership (you develop the client AND source the candidate) = 100% production credit before commission calculation

Temporary / Contract Placements

Great commission structure
Monthly calculation, paid semi-monthly

Additional Details

All commissions paid via ACH direct deposit, semi-monthly (1st and 15th)

Strong communication skills and a consultative, relationship-driven approach
Self-motivation and discipline to manage your own pipeline and production
Willingness to learn and follow a proven methodology (The Augmentis Method)
Reliable internet connection and a professional remote work setup
Integrity, professionalism, and a commitment to quality placements over quick transactions

Bonus (not required)

Experience recruiting in accounting, finance, procurement, engineering, or operations
Familiarity with the energy, manufacturing, or aerospace sectors
An existing book of business or client relationships
Experience with CRM/ATS platforms
