About Scout Talent North America

At Scout Talent North America (Scout Talent), our purpose is to connect people to grow companies, careers, and communities. We strive to be the place that sets employers and candidates on the right path to an amazing and effective recruitment experience.

In an evolving talent market, organizations that recruit the best people are the ones that succeed and outperform their competitors. This belief has guided us for more than 20 years in our mission to empower organizations by optimizing their recruitment strategy. 

With over 1,100 subscribed clients, we deliver innovative services-enabled software to improve how they attract and hire their biggest asset: their people. Scout is a simple, buildable, and powerful suite of products that work in harmony together to enhance the recruitment process.

Originally founded in Australia, our Global Head Office is in Brisbane, QLD. Our Vancouver office opened in 2009 and has flourished since. These days, our Vancouver team is of a similar size to our Global HO and we continue to expand our client base across Australia, Canada, and more recently the USA. We’re a fast-growing recruitment technology company, and despite our success, we believe that we’re only just getting started!

About You

The successful candidate will have 5+ years of experience in a similar role, with a proven track record in growing the revenue and profitability of a business of a similar size/scale.

We’re looking for someone with strong sales and marketing experience who can guide the North American arm of our business toward achieving our ambitious growth and profitability goals. 

Given the level of prior experience we’re looking for, we expect the successful candidate will have experience in recruiting people for the previous businesses you've worked for. We want you to draw upon that experience to relate to our clients and their challenges/needs. We value “hands-on” leaders who are keen to be deeply involved in the business - for example, joining sales meetings with potential clients. 

Experience in SaaS is not required, but an interest and passion for technology is a must! Additionally, experience selling to companies in the USA will be highly regarded. 

Please have a read through our Company Values and see if they align with yours.
