Pathways & Expectations: From Recruiter to Director
At IJM, we value growth - not just of our program, but of the people who help bring it to life around the world. Whether you're just getting started as a Recruiter or you're an experienced director ready for a bigger role, here's what you should know:
​
Recruiters: Flexible, Collaborative, and Independent
Our International Recruiter role is designed with flexibility in mind. We understand that many of our recruiters are also involved with other systems or direct their own events and that’s okay. We welcome collaboration with these individuals, as long as it's clear that:
-
IJM is a separate and distinct brand
-
Our branding, materials, and values are respected
-
Communication with potential delegates clearly reflects our unique culture and expectations
​
This is a great fit for those who:
-
Want to provide their delegates with an international-level opportunity
-
Aren’t ready to host a full event but want to build a relationship with IJM
-
Prefer a supportive, low-barrier way to get involved and earn rewards
​
Directors: Vetted, Committed, and Brand-Aligned
Because our Directors represent the IJM brand on a national level, we take extra care in selecting them. We receive many inquiries and only move forward with individuals who:
-
Demonstrate integrity, reliability, and professionalism
-
Are aligned with IJM’s mission and committed to long-term partnership
-
Have the capacity to run high-quality events with a minimum of 10 contestants per division
​
There are two main pathways to directorship:
-
Grow from Within: Recruiters who show consistent success and alignment with our values may be invited to step into a Director role.
-
Experienced Directors: Those with a proven history of directing large-scale or national-level events may apply directly for a Director position. These applications are carefully vetted to ensure alignment with IJM’s standards and long-term vision.
​
Please Note: Serving as a National Director comes with a financial commitment to secure licensing rights and support the successful launch and operation of your IJM-branded event. Details are provided during the vetting and onboarding process.
​
Our goal is not to simply grow - it’s to build a team of committed, passionate leaders who will represent IJM with excellence for years to come.
