So You Want to Be a Recruiter?

At MACRO, recruitment isn’t just about filling jobs, it’s about changing lives. If you’re curious, driven, and love connecting people, this might be the career for you.

What Does a Recruiter Do? 

Recruiters at MACRO are part treasure-hunter, part matchmaker.
Your mission is to find and introduce the best possible candidate before anyone else does. You’ll be managing both the employer’s and candidate’s journey from first call to placement.

It’s a fast-moving, people-focused role where success means seeing your candidate start their new job — and earning commission for the win.

The Ups and Downs of Recruitment

Pros
  • High earning potential with uncapped commissions
  • No degree required, success comes from communication and drive
  • Autonomy: run your own desk and build your own client base
  • Make a real difference in people’s careers
  • Every day brings new challenges and industries
  • Build valuable skills in negotiation, persuasion, and business growth
Cons
  • Not every placement sticks — resilience matters
  • Targets and deadlines can be demanding
  • Some days require long hours and problem-solving on the fly
  • Balancing employer and candidate expectations isn’t always easy
  • Rejection is part of the job — persistence is key
