The posting

The Wilkinson Firm (TWF) is an enterprise workforce strategy and solutions company with two divisions: HR Advisory (behavioral health and HHS focus) and Hospitality Staffing. Headquartered in NC and Atlanta, Georgia, respectively. Three active staffing contracts today; the next 24 months are about building and expanding a real book across the HR Advisory practice serving behavioral health and HHS clients.

What's already built

Three active staffing contracts in delivery. Two division sites live (hr.thewilkinsonfirm.com, hospitality.thewilkinsonfirm.com). MBE-certified, SAM.gov-registered, Hartford-insured. TWF Team Portal in production.

16+ trademarked frameworks: The Workup (8-dimension workforce diagnostic), PlacementCare (18-month placement guarantee, monitored by the Workforce Emotional Index), the SCAN. BUILD. STAY. operating system, the Earned Equity Ladder, and our six TWF Signature Programs.

The bench: former EEOC Administrative Law Judge, employment attorneys (JD, MBA), clinical advisors (LCMHCS, LCMHC, former UnitedHealth Group), PHR-certified Managing Partner, 32-year enterprise operations specialist. 47 combined years HHS experience. 150+ HHS organizations served across 12 states.

You're betting on revenue acceleration. The foundation is built.

About this role

The HR Advisory division has product-market fit, a founding-cohort partnership pipeline already warm, and proof-points that close in the room. The dedicated closer hasn't been hired. You're it. You'll convert warm founding-cohort relationships into recurring HR retainers, lead with The Workup as the wedge, and anchor the practice that fuels the firm's $1.2M Y1 ARR target.

TWF is mission-led and builder-grade. This is a ground-floor seat. You're joining a company being built, not one already running. Base pay is contribution-based, not entitlement-based, and grows as the company grows. The real long-term play is equity ownership in something you helped create from the ground up. If you want a paycheck without a stake in the outcome, you'll be miserable here. If you want to own what you build, you'll thrive.

The pay and partner upside

  • Base: $1,500/month during first 90 days, scales with performance
  • Commission: 15% of first-year contract value, 10% Y2+ on same account
  • Bonus stack: $5,000 per signed PlacementCare engagement, $1,000 per completed Workup
  • Y1 OTE at target performance: $65,000 to $150,000
  • Equity: Earned Equity Ladder Tier 2 (1-3%) at month 6 if 5-gate evaluation met. Tier 3 (3-8%) at month 18 with sustained performance + strategic ownership. Tier 4 (8-15%, true partner level) at month 36 for the right person. 4-year vest, 1-year cliff.
  • The math: 6-10 signed engagements in Y1 at $40,000-$80,000 average annualized retainer + Workup conversion volume puts you in Tier 2 equity range by month 6 and on path to Tier 3 by month 18

What this is and isn't

This is: advisory-grade closing, founder-led ramp, ground-floor seat with real partner path, sitting with clinical CEOs as a peer.

This isn't: closing against an inherited book (the warm pipeline is yours to convert, the rest is yours to build), transactional services sales, a hand-holding environment.

What you'll do

  • Run Discovery Calls with Executive Directors, Practice Owners, Clinical Directors, CHROs, and CFOs at behavioral health and HHS organizations
  • Lead with The Workup as the wedge offer
  • Build PlacementCare proposals with the 18-month placement guarantee structure
  • Convert warm founding-cohort partnership relationships into Year-2 paying engagements
  • Expand accounts into multi-site, multi-state, and additional service modules
  • Forecast pipeline weekly in HubSpot

What success looks like

  • Day 30: pipeline of 6-10 qualified Discovery Calls, 2-4 completed Workups
  • Day 60: first signed HR Advisory engagement
  • Day 90: 2-4 signed contracts, 60% Workup-to-engagement conversion sustained
  • Day 180: Tier 2 equity grant landed
  • Day 365: $400,000 to $800,000 annualized ARR contribution traceable, Tier 3 equity progression on the table

Who you are

  • 5-10 years in B2B services sales (HR consulting, healthcare consulting, or PEO sales preferred)
  • Familiar with behavioral health, IDD, or HHS sector, or willing to learn the vertical fast
  • Sells to clinical executives as a peer, not a vendor
  • Comfortable being employee-level-1 on a function
  • Self-directed
  • Eastern Time work hours
  • Located in a market with HHS density (Southeast preferred)

Bonus points

  • Prior role at a behavioral health provider, IDD organization, or HHS-focused consultancy
  • Existing relationships with NABH, ABHW, or state-level behavioral health associations
  • SHRM credential
  • HubSpot fluency

What we believe

Trust before revenue. Mission before money. We treat every clinical executive like a peer, not a target. We build durable relationships, not flashy logos. We pay people in real upside, not in pizza parties.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
