🟦 Sales Representative

Ellis Career & Talent•Summerville, SC

About The Position

Ellis Career & Talent™ is a people-first HR consulting and talent solutions firm serving small and midsize businesses nationwide. We provide outsourced HR support, recruiting-as-a-service, and employee development solutions that help organizations build stronger teams, improve retention, and scale confidently. As a fast-growing startup, we’re building a modern, efficient sales engine powered by verified daily leads, streamlined outreach systems, and high-value service offerings. Every team member plays a direct role in shaping our growth and expanding our nationwide presence. The Sales Representative (Commission-Only) role is designed for motivated, results-driven closers who thrive in a fast-moving startup environment and want uncapped earning potential. You’ll receive verified leads daily — each vetted for legitimacy and contact accuracy — but these leads are not guaranteed to be interested in HR or recruiting services. Because of this, Sales Representatives are expected to conduct their own outreach, generate additional leads, and build new opportunities outside of the company- provided pipeline. This role emphasizes relationship-building, consultative selling, proactive outreach, and closing deals. If you’re driven, resourceful, and ready to help scale a growing company, this position offers a rare opportunity to shape our sales department and grow alongside a nationwide expansion.
