Business Development Specialist

Description:

AI, data, and advanced tech aren't "emerging" anymore - they're defining where the entire industry is heading, and the recruiters who position themselves there first are the ones who'll be writing their own numbers in 18 months' time.

That's exactly where Investigo has been building for years - quietly, deliberately, and with real intent.

We're hiring into our New York AI Sciences & Technology team, with a second opportunity based out of Philadelphia covering the broader tech portfolio. We're not running this as an open call - we're speaking to a small number of recruiters who genuinely want to operate at the front of this market, not catch up to it six months from now.

Why now

Markets like this don't stay open forever. Right now, AI and data recruitment is in that rare window where demand is exploding but the recruiter talent pool serving it hasn't caught up - which means real first-mover advantage for anyone who gets in early with the right platform behind them. That's the conversation we want to have with you.

What makes this different

This isn't about plugging into a saturated desk, inheriting someone else's tired patch, or being handed a target with no support to hit it.

It's about stepping into a high-growth, high-demand space with genuine momentum already behind it:

→ AI & Data performance has grown 4x year-on-year - not a one-off spike, a sustained trend

→ 9+ years building a serious, credible US tech presence - this isn't a desk being launched from zero

→ Deep, established client relationships across some of the most innovative businesses in the space - the groundwork is already done

→ A platform that's proven and scaling, not something you're being asked to build from scratch with no infrastructure behind you

You're not catching up here - you're joining ahead of the curve, with a running start.

The market you'll operate in

AI Sciences in New York (and the broader tech portfolio out of Philadelphia) is one of the most exciting and fastest-moving spaces in tech recruitment right now. Day to day, you'll be working across:

→ AI / Machine Learning / Data Science - some of the highest-demand, highest-fee roles in the market right now

→ Software Engineering (backend, platform, distributed systems) - deep technical roles with strong repeat business

→ Cybersecurity & Infrastructure - a market that's only becoming more critical, not less

→ Advanced tech roles sitting at the intersection of AI and industry - the roles that don't fit a neat box, where specialist recruiters genuinely win
