Thinking About a Career Change? Executive Recruiting Could Be Your Next Big Move.


Executive Recruiter – Creative Financial Staffing (CFS)


A people-focused career with impact, variety, and unlimited potential.



If you're craving a career where your communication skills, relationship instincts, and drive for results actually matter — recruiting might be the perfect next chapter.


Many of CFS’s most successful Executive Recruiters didn’t come from recruiting at all. They came from careers where they learned how to listen, influence, coach, organize, lead, or sell… and they realized they wanted something bigger.


Nashville: If you’re feeling ready for a change, you’re in good company.



Our strongest Executive Recruiters have come from:



  • Staffing or recruiting (any vertical)

  • Sales roles — B2B, inside, outside, or service sales

  • Retail leadership (especially those who loved hiring and developing their teams)

  • Teachers or educators looking for a career pivot

  • Hospitality or event sales

  • Higher ed admissions, advising, or career services

  • Fundraising or donor relations

  • Accounting or finance roles (especially those craving more people interaction)

  • Collegiate athletes, coaches, and team captains

  • Sorority/fraternity leaders or consultants


If you’re good with people, organized, curious, and motivated… you can learn this business.



What You’ll Do as an Executive Recruiter


This is a full‑desk, relationship-driven recruiting role focused on direct‑hire placements in accounting & finance.



  • Build relationships with top accounting & finance professionals in your market

  • Recruit, interview, and identify strong matches for open opportunities

  • Partner with clients and your internal BD team to understand hiring needs

  • Manage placements from first conversation → offer → acceptance

  • Coach candidates, advise clients, and serve as the “career matchmaker”

  • Gain exposure to a wide range of industries and company cultures


If you enjoy connecting with people, problem‑solving, and making a direct impact on careers — you’ll love this work.



Why CFS?


Because we offer opportunity, support, and long-term upside — all in one place.



  • 100% Employee-Owned (ESOP): You gain equity and long-term wealth

  • Competitive compensation structure (salary + uncapped commission)

  • Full benefits + 401k match

  • Incentive trips, contests, recognition, and team culture

  • Comprehensive training + ongoing development (no recruiting background needed!)

  • A national company with the feel of a supportive, close-knit team

  • Real advancement opportunities — many leaders started in this exact role


Core Values: Integrity | Teamwork | Excellence in Accountability | Positive Mindset | Discipline/Hard Work
Vision: Grow. Have Fun. Make Money. Provide Opportunities to People.


Award-winning workplace: Top Workplaces USA (2023–2025), Most Loved Workplace, SIA Best Staffing Firms to Work For, plus recognitions from Forbes, Newsweek, FlexJobs, ESOP Association, and more.



If you’re:



  • Motivated, outgoing, and curious

  • Confident communicating across all job levels

  • Organized and able to juggle multiple priorities

  • Driven by results, relationships, and growth

  • Someone who enjoys talking to people and influencing outcomes

  • A positive teammate with a good sense of humor


…you’ll do extremely well in this role.


Minimum 1 year of professional experience required — but no recruiting experience needed.
