What’s the job?
 
 The Recruitment Specialist will be responsible for speaking with potential clients, asking questions and making recommendations for the right product(s). As the initial liaison between potential clients and Summer Discovery, the Recruitment Specialist plays a significant role in driving and growing sales by proactively reaching out to potential clients, following up by phone and email, and closing sales. This is an opportunity to join a growing company and make a difference in student’s lives. 
 
The ideal candidate will excel in the art of consultative selling, as well as be self-motivated, driven, and able to work in a high-paced, seasonal business environment.
