Onsite | Full-Time | Branch Operations

As a Staffing Specialist, you’ll play a vital role in connecting top talent with meaningful job opportunities while helping our clients grow their workforce. This isn’t your typical recruiting role — it’s a mix of relationship-building, account management, and operational know-how.

Recruit and place top talent through job boards, social media, referrals, and community outreach. Manage the full hiring process from sourcing to onboarding.
Support and coach your talent throughout their assignments — checking in regularly, offering feedback, and helping them grow.
Build strong client relationships by understanding their workforce needs, conducting regular check-ins, and delivering thoughtful hiring solutions.
Drive growth by skill-marketing standout candidates, collaborating with sales, and identifying new opportunities to serve clients.
Keep operations running smoothly by supporting tasks like payroll, timekeeping, and compliance.

🌟 Who Thrives Here

You’re a strong match if you’re:
✔️ Naturally curious and people-oriented
✔️ Highly organized and adaptable, comfortable in a fast-paced environment
✔️ Motivated by results, but guided by empathy
✔️ Passionate about connecting people with opportunity
