About LegalMatch
LegalMatch is a growing legal technology company that connects consumers with attorneys across the country. For more than two decades, we have helped millions of people find legal help while providing attorneys with a powerful platform to grow their practices.
Our sales organization is central to our growth, and hiring the right sales talent is one of our most important priorities. We are looking for a creative, driven, and experienced recruiter who can help us compete for top sales candidates in highly competitive markets.
This is not a passive recruiting role. We need someone who knows how to find talent, build interest, tell a compelling company story, and create a candidate experience that makes LegalMatch stand out.
Please note that this position is 100% in-office located in Reno, NV.
About the Role
The Sales Recruiter / Talent Acquisition Specialist will be responsible for identifying, attracting, screening, and advancing candidates for sales roles across LegalMatch. This person will manage inbound applicants, but the bigger opportunity is building new pipelines through proactive and creative recruiting efforts.
The ideal candidate has prior recruiting experience, preferably with sales or high-volume roles, and understands that great candidates are not always actively applying. You should be comfortable sourcing passive candidates, creating outreach campaigns, testing new recruiting channels, and partnering closely with sales leadership to understand what makes someone successful in our environment.
We are looking for someone who brings energy, creativity, urgency, and ownership to the recruiting process.

- Research local talent pools, competitor hiring trends, and alternative candidate sources.
- Create compelling outreach messages that generate interest and differentiate LegalMatch from other employers.

- Move qualified candidates efficiently through the recruiting process.
- Maintain a high level of follow-up and communication with candidates.
- Ensure every candidate has a professional, responsive, and positive experience with LegalMatch.

- Maintain accurate candidate records and recruiting activity in the company’s applicant tracking system or recruiting tools.
- Track key recruiting metrics, including outreach activity, response rates, interview conversion, offer acceptance, and source effectiveness.
- Provide regular updates to leadership on pipeline status, hiring progress, and market feedback.
- Support scheduling, interview coordination, and candidate follow-up as needed.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
The right candidate will have:
- 2–5+ years of recruiting or talent acquisition experience, ideally with sales, business development, call center, inside sales, or high-volume hiring roles.

- Strong communication skills and the ability to sell candidates on an opportunity.
- A creative mindset with a willingness to test new recruiting strategies.
- A strong sense of urgency and follow-through.
- Comfort working in competitive hiring markets.
- Ability to assess candidate motivation, resilience, coachability, and sales potential.
