Staffing Recruiter Role

Like other recruiting jobs, you will work alongside a small team that places workers at manufacturing and distribution job sites within about a 40-mile radius of the office location. But, unlike other jobs in the staffing industry, Elwood treats you like a business partner: We reward our recruiters with a competitive base wage and an UNLIMITED pay-for-performance incentive program. The more workers your team places in a profitable manner, the more money you can make. Elwood provides targeted training for your first two weeks and throughout your tenure-no, prior experience is required.

A typical day as a Staffing Recruiter:

• Find and hire enough workers so the office can fill every job opening on time and in compliance with company policies and applicable government regulations
• Manage incoming orders from clients and enter detailed job descriptions into the database
• Write and publish enthusiastic, concise job descriptions to Elwood’s website and public job boards
• Use social networks and industry connections to build a strong pipeline of candidates
• Interview and offer jobs/communicate rejections to candidates in a legal, timely manner
• Administer drug screens, background checks, and other pre-employment tests
• Counsel, discipline, and terminate temporary associates, when appropriate, and document according to standard operating procedures
• Consistently make quality control calls to clients and associates to maintain an open channel for customer feedback and to address concerns
• Create, review, and continually improve a strategic recruiting plan for the market
