About the Skyrocket Ventures Account Manager Training Program
Only a tiny percentage of applicants will be accepted into this program, and once accepted there is no guarantee of becoming an Account Manager. However, if you are accepted, it means the company believes that with hard work you will succeed.
This is a fast-paced, rigorous program designed for recent graduates of leading universities. Progression through the training is as fast as you make it, but estimated completion time ranges from 3 months to 1 year, with 6 months being average. Applicants must have the interest and potential to someday become an Account Manager (that job description is below, so please read that carefully to see if you can see yourself growing into it).
To be clear, this company is built to be high on leadership attributes in all employees, yet low on management reporting structure. Account Managers do not directly manage Skyrocket Ventures employees, but rather manage clients the company works with. Although you won’t manage any employees, you will have the potential to earn a lucrative income (much more than most other “management trainee” programs), you’ll be working with an elite team, and having a large degree of ownership and rewards for your work.
Training primarily consists of hands-on learning (“learning by doing”) along with coaching, mentorship, and education through osmosis (absorbing knowledge from your surrounding senior team members). The training is structured, in that it is a comprehensive education on the various functions and skills needed in the business. The training is also flexible and customized for each person based on their existing skill set and pace of progression. In essence the program is designed to develop the person from where they currently are to where an Account Manager needs to be (see the Qualifications section below for a preview of requirements). The skills gained, attributes developed, and knowledge acquired through the program are expected to help you succeed in both work and life!
About the Company and Industry
Skyrocket Ventures is a leading recruiting firm for high growth technology companies that range from industry leaders to top-tier startups. At Skyrocket Ventures, we aim to bring the best companies and candidates together.
Recruiting is consistently ranked as one of the top most lucrative professions by Fortune Magazine. Successful recruiters (aka headhunters) at recruiting firms (aka recruiting agencies, search firms/agencies, etc.) earn well into the 6-figures, with the top recruiters in the profession earning an annual income exceeding $500k. Agency recruiters are primarily sales professionals, as opposed to corporate or internal recruiters who are often more human resources oriented. We are all about results, closing deals, and getting as much done in as little time as possible. Unlike most sales jobs, this is a multi-dimensional sales profession. No two sales are the same, and the job involves selling companies on you, candidates on you, candidates on companies, and companies on candidates.
In addition to the high financial rewards we enjoy, we also get the deep satisfaction of serving the parties we work with:
1. The candidates we place – Often we’ve formed friendships with these candidates, and they are very grateful when we help them in their career advancement.
2. The companies we recruit for – We not only help the companies themselves, but are contributing to their ability to build products that often touch and improve the lives of millions of people
