2026 Graduates Welcome | Launch Your Career with Collabera

Your first job shouldn't just be a job.

It should be the place where you build the skills, confidence, and relationships that shape the rest of your career.

At Collabera, we don't just hire recent graduates, we invest in them.

For more than 30 years, Collabera has partnered with Fortune 1000 companies to solve one of their biggest business challenges: finding exceptional technology talent. We've built long-standing client relationships, helped thousands of professionals launch successful careers, and created a culture where people are developed, challenged, and given opportunities to grow.

When you join Collabera, you're not joining a startup trying to figure things out.

You're joining an established industry leader with three decades of success, a reputation built on trusted partnerships, and a team committed to helping you build an incredible career.

If you're ambitious, competitive, and excited by the idea of building relationships while growing a successful business, we'd love to meet you.

Why Start Your Career at Collabera?

Your career shouldn't depend on whether you're lucky enough to have a great manager.

It should be built on intentional training, continuous coaching, meaningful mentorship, and opportunities earned through performance.

At Collabera, we believe great sales professionals are developed…. not born.

You don't need years of sales experience.

You need curiosity, resilience, a strong work ethic, and the willingness to learn.

We'll teach you the rest.

Industry-Leading Training & Development

Your degree gave you the foundation.

Our training will give you the confidence to succeed.

Every new Associate participates in our Greatness Guide, a structured onboarding experience designed to prepare you for a long-term career in outside sales and account management.

This isn't sitting in a conference room watching PowerPoint presentations.

It's immersive, hands-on, and designed around real experiences you'll have in the field.

During your training you'll experience:

• Cold Call Bootcamp

Our goal isn't simply to train you for your first job.

Our goal is to develop you into an exceptional business professional and future leader.

What You'll Do

As an Outside Sales Associate, you'll represent Collabera in the marketplace, helping Fortune 1000 organizations solve critical hiring challenges through strategic IT staffing solutions.

This is an outside sales role focused on business development, relationship management, and consultative selling.

No two days look exactly the same.

You might be:

• Meeting hiring managers and executives for coffee or lunch
• Hosting client happy hours, networking events, Topgolf outings, sporting events, and other relationship-building activities
• Visiting client offices to better understand their business and hiring needs
• Prospecting new business through phone calls, LinkedIn, email, referrals, and face-to-face networking
• Building relationships with Directors, Vice Presidents, and C-level executives
• Learning your clients' businesses so you can recommend strategic staffing solutions
• Partnering with our recruiting team to deliver exceptional technology talent
• Negotiating opportunities and expanding existing client partnerships
• Growing your own territory and developing long-term client relationships

At Collabera, we don't believe clients choose staffing partners because they received another sales email.

They choose partners they trust.

Your mission is to build those relationships and become the first call your clients make when they need talent.

Our Culture

We believe careers grow fastest when people are surrounded by leaders who genuinely care about their success.

At Collabera, you'll find teammates who celebrate wins together, leaders who coach instead of micromanage, and mentors who remember what it was like to be in your shoes.

We value:

• Continuous learning
• Healthy competition
• Accountability
• Collaboration
• Respect
• Curiosity
• Growth

The best ideas can come from anyone, regardless of title.

If you're willing to work hard, stay coachable, and challenge yourself every day, you'll have every opportunity to build an incredible career here.

Growth Doesn't Wait

Your career progression shouldn't be determined by how long you've been sitting in a role.

At Collabera, advancement is based on your performance, development, and ability to build strong client relationships.

Whether your goal is to become an Account Manager, lead a market, mentor future Associates, or grow into leadership, you'll have a clear path and leaders committed to helping you get there.

Many of our top performers and leaders began their careers exactly where you will.
