That said - some may see Staffing as a promising sales opportunity with low barriers to entry and quicker path to the ""AE"" title compared to more lucrative industries such as tech, med device, pharma, etc. I don't think its the worst idea to get a lens into recruiting and exposure to how these firms operate before applying that interviewing + sales knowledge to bigger and better things 6 months to a year later. But if you are genuinely eager to hunt or pursue a closing role in sales and want to be a high paid AE, I highly encourage pursuing a Business Development / SDR role in a more respectable industry / company out of college, leaning in heavily into mentorship from sales leaders + AEs you work with, and grind it out - not only will you be in a WAY better spot comp-wise immediately, but will also have 10x more lucrative career opportunity and promotion path down the line.
Again encouraging everyone considering Brooksource to evaluate the concept of how the AEs that actually produce are subsidizing the weakest links at the company for WAY too long (years) and if that matches your personal values. If having patience and investment is important to you and you are coachable, can learn sales and eventually don't mind "passing it on" to those that come after you, Brooksource may be a good fit. But if you want to sell, earn a fair commission and feel confident you'll become a top performer, I'd look to true technology sales and start in Business Development
