Responsibilities
  • Serve as the first point of contact in the customer value journey by qualifying contacted customers for continued engagement with the sales teams, understanding customer problems and solution alignment, and identifying readiness to address issues.
  • Respond to marketing-qualified leads within minutes, monitor inbound calls and chat, and supplement marketing leads through proactive prospecting by phone, email, and social media to create interest and schedule deeper discovery calls for the sales team.

  • Research accounts and key contacts, generate and stimulate buying interest, overcome objections to sales engagement, sell the Neon One sales process, and qualify prospects within the ideal customer profile.

Desired Qualifications
  • Experience using tools such as Salesforce, SalesLoft, Sales Navigator, or another similar technology is a bonus.

  • High coachability, including self-evaluation and applying feedback.
  • Strong grit, a competitive attitude, and a record of achieving targets.
  • Strong business acumen and the ability to listen, discern customer needs, and recommend solutions.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Q4 case study demonstrates $103K savings and 75 hires in 75 days.
  • Enterprise shift toward flexible workforce solutions creates expanding mid-market TAM.
  • Global talent market access and emerging market strategies reduce client hiring costs.

What critics are saying

  • Larger RPO firms with AI platforms outpace HighlightTA's scalability and global reach.
  • Founder departure to competitors like Randstad would cripple 1-10 person operation.
  • Economic recovery drives client preference for full-time TA hires over on-demand services.

What makes HighlightTA unique

  • Embedded model integrates directly into client teams, unlike transactional agency competitors.
  • Proprietary data-driven recruitment approach optimizes hiring speed and candidate quality.
  • Flexible service tiers enable low-commitment pilots before full function management scaling.
