About Story Homes

Story Homes is a wholesale real estate brokerage based in Irvine, CA, specializing in distressed properties. Since 2024 we've closed hundreds of deals across Southern California, and our team of 40+ agents now operates from Los Angeles to Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Northern California. We're scaling fast, and we need a recruiter who can keep up.

About The Role

We're looking for a driven, resourceful Recruiter to build our talent engine from the ground up. As our first dedicated recruiter, you'll own the end-to-end recruiting process for our sales organization, with a primary focus on identifying, engaging, and onboarding high-performing real estate agents (1099 independent contractors). This is a proactive, outreach-first role; you won't just manage inbound applications. You'll actively source, pipeline, and build lasting relationships with top agent talent across the market, and you'll own the recruiting budget and the channels behind it.

You'll also be the front door to our culture. Story Homes is fast, competitive, and team-first; a championship mentality with a familial undercurrent. Leadership is accessible and direct: our GMs are on the floor, and every member of the team is reachable, right up to the CEO. We're hoodies, not suits. We reward the people who outwork everyone else without being asked. Your job is to find candidates who will thrive in exactly that environment.

If you thrive in a fast-paced setting, love the hunt, and have a track record of placing independent contractors in commission-driven sales roles, we want to hear from you. This isn't a cog-in-the-machine role. You'll build the recruiting function and directly shape our growth trajectory.
