About The Position

Urrly is seeking an Executive Search Associate for a full-time, remote position. This role involves recruiting, sales, and search execution, focusing on building a faster, smarter version of executive search. The associate will learn modern search techniques, utilize AI and automation, and develop habits for success in a high-accountability environment. This is a high-growth role for individuals who are proactive, problem-solvers, and can create momentum without constant direction. The position involves supporting and eventually owning full-cycle recruiting for clinical, engineering, and executive searches for PE portfolio companies, VC-backed healthcare platforms, and high-growth technology firms.

Requirements

• 2 to 7 years of client-facing experience in a performance-driven role with measurable outcomes, such as recruiting, staffing, executive search, sales, account management, or business development.
• A hunter mindset with proof that you have succeeded in a role requiring proactive outbound, persistence, follow-up, and self-generated activity.
• Strong sourcing instincts.
• Exceptional communication skills. You write clearly, speak with confidence, and bring a polished, professional presence to clients and candidates.
• Detail-oriented execution. You follow through, keep clean notes, manage next steps, and make sure important details do not slip through the cracks.
• AI fluency. You can name specific, practical ways you use AI tools like ChatGPT to get more done in less time.
• Structured thinking. You approach problems methodically, ask smart questions, and understand the implications and trade-offs of different approaches.
• Comfort with ambiguity, rejection, changing priorities, and the reality that great outcomes usually come from consistent, disciplined activity.

• Source candidates using proprietary AI-enabled workflows, LinkedIn, market mapping, referrals, research, and creative search strategies.
• Identify high-quality candidates who are not actively applying and create messaging that gets their attention.
• Screen candidates through video and phone interviews, assessing technical fit, communication ability, motivation, and the traits that predict success in demanding environments.
• Manage client and candidate relationships with urgency, clarity, and professionalism.
• Keep searches moving through consistent follow-up, clean notes, clear next steps, and strong process management.
• Use AI tools, automation, and structured workflows to improve speed, quality, sourcing, screening, evaluation, and client communication.
