Recruiter

Northwestern Mutual-Twin Cities•Bloomington, MN

109d•$75,000 - $115,000•Onsite

About The Position

We’re looking for a Growth Partner to join our Bloomington office and work alongside our Managing Director and leadership team to build the future of our firm. This isn’t a traditional recruiting role. You’ll be at the center of our growth—building relationships, creating connections in the community, and introducing talented career changers to a career in financial advising that can change the trajectory of their lives. You’ll spend your days talking with interesting people, learning what motivates them, understanding where they want to go, and helping them determine whether financial advising could be the right next step. You’ll build your network through referrals, community relationships, centers of influence, and online sourcing tools—and you’ll own those relationships from the first conversation through the recruiting process. Most importantly, you’ll become a trusted partner to our leadership team. You’ll help us identify the right people, create momentum around our recruiting efforts, and ultimately help grow a team that makes a meaningful impact on the clients and communities we serve.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree or 5+ years of equivalent professional experience.
3+ years of professional experience, preferably in recruiting, sales, business development, relationship management, or a related field.
Experience prospecting and generating leads through phone, networking, or face-to-face interactions.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Demonstrated ability to build relationships and work effectively with people at all levels.
Familiarity with sourcing platforms such as LinkedIn, Indeed, and Handshake.
