You will work closely with the Talent Acquisition Manager and partner directly with regional sales hiring managers across the country to attract, engage, and hire top sales talent at scale.
In this role, you will be a true partner to the hiring team—not just filling requisitions, but shaping how Lendbuzz attracts and hires sales talent. You'll take real ownership of the recruiting process and thrive in a fast-moving environment.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own full-cycle recruiting for sales roles across multiple regions, from opening requisition through signed offer, while supporting the broader Corporate TA team on roles across other functions as needed

- Evaluate incoming applicants, curate high-caliber shortlists, and maintain meticulous candidate tracking within the ATS to ensure high pipeline health and data integrity
- Conduct comprehensive recruiter screens to evaluate candidates' technical qualifications, sales track record, communication, and organizational fit
- Manage end-to-end interview scheduling and panel logistics, providing a frictionless candidate experience with high operational accuracy
- Clearly articulate complex sales compensation models—including base salary, on-target earning (OTE), commission structures, and mileage reimbursement—ensuring alignment and buy-in early in the process
- Extend, negotiate, and close competitive offers while driving a high-touch, memorable candidate experience
- Maintain transparent, proactive communication with hiring teams by delivering regular pipeline reports, flagging bottlenecks early, and providing actionable solutions
- Partner with Corporate TA leadership to refine intake workflows, streamline sales hiring operations, and contribute to quarterly headcount planning and resource allocation
The role is based out of Lendbuzz's Boston headquarters with a hybrid schedule, requiring 2 to 3 days in the office per week.
Requirements:
- 3+ years of end-to-end talent acquisition experience, with a proven track record managing multiple requisitions in a high-volume, fast-paced corporate environment
- Strong expertise sourcing and hiring sales talent, with an intuitive understanding of sales competencies, performance metrics, and candidate motivation
- Background within automotive finance, dealership sales, or financial services is strongly preferred
- Proficiency with enterprise applicant tracking systems; direct, hands-on experience using Lever is a plus
- Familiarity with complex sales compensation models, including commission tiers and on-target earning (OTE) calculations, with the ability to explain them clearly to candidates
- Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with a demonstrated ability to build credibility quickly and influence hiring leaders at all levels
- Highly organized and self-directed, with a track record of driving multiple regional searches simultaneously while proactively identifying pipeline risks and resolving blockers before they impact hiring goals
