Role summary

Wing Assistant is seeking an Account Placement Specialist to source and place contractors across various roles for clients globally. This role involves understanding client needs, interviewing candidates, running discovery calls, presenting Wing's value, and closing deals quickly. The specialist will maintain a current candidate bench, ensure candidate availability, and finalize compliance post-close. The ideal candidate has experience in staffing, recruiting, or B2B sales, is comfortable working asynchronously in tools like Discord/Slack, and can operate with a fast, responsive, and improvisational approach.

Wing Assistant places contractors across 25+ role types — GVAs, EAs, SDRs, CSRs, and more — for clients across the Philippines, LATAM, and global markets. Internal coordination runs through Discord as the single source of truth: pre-demo requests, mid-call heads-up, post-demo handoffs, and ongoing status all live in one place, so nothing gets lost between people.

This isn't a role for someone who wants a well-worn script.

The accelerated process rewards judgment — reading a client in real time, reading a candidate's fit on the fly, and knowing when to move before the moment closes.

The Account Placement Specialist is responsible for managing the end-to-end client engagement process at Wing Assistant.

You'll Own

Understand potential customer input through intake forms and quickly leverage on organization-wide ATS systems to find candidates that match the skillset- interview candidates to ensure fit for what potential client is looking for
Discovery & demo: Run full discovery calls and qualify what the client actually needs, then present
Wing's value and bring live, vetted candidates directly into the call — real people, no recordings, no async profiles.
The close: Read the room and close while interest is highest — propose next steps before the call ends, and formalize the deal in Discord/JRF within 30–60 minutes.
Candidate bench: Keep the idle-pool current and taggable by role, industry, and availability, so you can pull 2–3 credible matches from a loose brief with 10–30 minutes' notice.
Flake-proofing: Confirm candidate availability at T-24h and again at T-30min; always have a backup identified before the call, not after someone drops out.
Post-close: Finalize compliance and formal matching once a deal closes, and keep CSM/TA aligned on onboarding status in real time.

Must Haves

Has personally run outbound/discovery through to close — not just handed off qualified leads
Recruiting or sourcing experience with genuine same-day turnaround, not multiday pipelines
Comfortable improvising live — can steer a call and brief a candidate in 10–15 minutes on the spot
Fast and responsive by nature — minutes, not hours, is this role's working speed

Nice to Have

Staffing, recruiting, or B2B services sales background
Already comfortable working async-first in Discord/Slack as the source of truth
History of maintaining a “warm bench” of backup candidates proactively
Track record of anticipating problems (candidate no-shows, client cold feet) before they happen
