Position Overview
We’re looking for a Commercial Recruiter who isn’t afraid to get out from behind a desk. This is a hybrid rolecombining on-site workforce management with in-office recruiting execution.
Translation: You’ll start your day making sure people actually show up to work… then spend the rest of your day filling the pipeline so tomorrow doesn’t fall apart.
Daily Responsibilities
On-Site (First 2 Hours of Day):
- Report to assigned client site daily
- Ensure all employees arrive on time and are properly clocked in
- Address attendance issues in real time (text/call no-shows)
- Support employees with questions or concerns
- Communicate directly with client supervisors and management

In-Office (Remainder of Day):
- Recruit candidates for open job orders (primarily light industrial roles)
- Manage candidate pipeline using ATS (Workable or similar)

- Coordinate onboarding and job placements
- Partner with internal team to meet daily and weekly fill goals
- Maintain strong communication with candidates and clients
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in recruiting, staffing, or customer service preferred
- Familiarity with an ATS system (Workable experience is a plus)
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills
- Ability to work independently and stay organized in a fast-paced environment
- Reliable transportation (this is non-negotiable—you’re client-facing daily)
- Comfortable holding people accountable (this is not a “soft” role)
What Success Looks Like
- Employees show up, on time, consistently
- Client relationships stay strong and proactive
- Job orders get filled fast (speed matters here)
- You build a reliable workforce—not just fill seats
Requirements

Core Competencies (Non-Negotiable)
- Attendance enforcement mindset – you’re comfortable addressing no-shows and holding people accountable
- Urgency & speed – can move candidates from application to placement quickly
- Communication skills – able to deal with candidates and client supervisors without friction
- Problem-solving – when 3 people don’t show up, you don’t panic—you pivot
- Organization – can manage multiple job orders and candidate pipelines at once
Operational Skills
- Ability to:
- Conduct phone screens and basic interviews
- Manage candidate pipelines and follow-ups
- Coordinate onboarding and job placements
- Track attendance and escalate issues in real time
- Comfortable working in both:
- Field environment (client sites)
