Job Description

We are a leading staffing firm specializing in skilled manufacturing and industrial placements. Our team is dedicated to connecting top-tier talent with high-demand roles across production, assembly, machining, and other skilled trades. We pride ourselves on being fast, responsive, and quality-driven — and we’re growing.

We’re looking for a hands-on Recruiter (Player-Coach) to join our team. This dual-role position is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is ready to balance active recruiting with building and leading a high-performance recruiting team.

What You’ll Do:

Recruiting (Individual Contributor Responsibilities):

• Source, screen, interview, and submit qualified candidates for skilled manufacturing roles (machine operators, welders, assemblers, CNC techs, etc.)
• Build and maintain a steady pipeline of pre-screened candidates to support both immediate and future client needs
• Leverage job boards, social media, referrals, and community outreach to drive candidate flow
• Conduct skills assessments, reference checks, and ensure all compliance requirements are met
• Collaborate closely with the sales team to understand client job requirements and respond quickly to fill openings
• Own the full recruitment life cycle from sourcing through placement and follow-up

Team Leadership (Player-Coach Responsibilities):

• Help build and grow the internal recruiting team by hiring, training, and mentoring junior recruiters
• Develop recruiting strategies to improve speed-to-fill, candidate quality, and retention
• Monitor and manage key recruiting KPIs for yourself and your team
• Lead by example — balancing your own desk while helping others hit their recruiting targets
• Drive consistency and excellence in candidate experience and internal processes

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of recruiting experience, with a focus on skilled manufacturing or light industrial roles strongly preferred
• Previous experience in a staffing agency or high-volume recruiting environment required
• Demonstrated success managing candidate pipelines and closing placements quickly
• Proven leadership skills with the ability to mentor and motivate junior recruiters
• Strong relationship-building skills with both candidates and internal sales teams
• Tech-savvy — comfortable using ATS platforms, sourcing tools, and reporting systems
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills — can handle multiple open reqs with ease
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus, but not required
