Quick overview
Job description
This is a business you own, not a job we're filling. Goodwin Recruiting partners are independent business owners who build and run their own recruiting practices on Goodwin's platform. Goodwin funds the tools, the business launch, and the infrastructure. No recruiting experience required, and we mean it: some of our highest billers never recruited before Goodwin.
Built for hospitality operators. You've hired hundreds of people. You've just never owned the business that does it. Recruiting has two halves: knowing the work, and finding the people. Years of running operations means you've spent a career on both. You can read a candidate in ten minutes because you've hired for every seat in the building and lived with the results. And you're not selling: you're helping people you understand find work you understand. Goodwin teaches the rest. One in three active partners came from operations, the most proven path in the network.
The model, stated plainly. This is a 100% commission business. You keep roughly half of everything you bill, with no cap. Your income potential is unlimited. You'd be self-employed, what the IRS calls a 1099 independent contractor: no W-2, no withholding. No salary. No benefits. You own the outcome, and the upside.
What Goodwin funds:
- A full LinkedIn Recruiter RPS+ seat with 140 InMails a month
- Training, mentorship, and a partner community of 300+
- The recruiting tech platform and marketing support
- Billing, collections, and the administrative back office
Fair question: is this legit? Yes. No buy-in. No inventory. No downline. You earn when clients hire the people you place. Goodwin Recruiting was founded by Eric Goodwin in 1999 and has been built on relationships and integrity for 27 years, with more than 300 active partners.
On hearing another partner's story before he joined:
"Honestly, after hearing Vince's story, I was like, 'Ok your experience is a lot like mine'. When he shared that he was earning more as a recruiter vs Operations and that he was now able to spend time at his daughter's events, I said, 'Well, I want to do that!' I am so glad that I made the decision, the best professional decision I have ever made." Rogers Hornsby, Partner, Hospitality Operations, 4 years
Who does well here:
- Senior operators, GMs, directors, and multi-unit leaders
- Self-directed and resilient, with a career of hiring behind them
- Ready to build something of their own in the industry they know
If you're looking for a salaried position with benefits, this isn't it, and that's by design.
What happens next. Apply and you'll receive an email invitation to register for a live 30-minute info session, held Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 3 PM ET.
