Job description

READY TO START A CAREER, NOT JUST ANOTHER JOB?

Are you great with people? Competitive? Driven? The person who can talk to just about anyone?

Maybe you're currently working in a restaurant, behind a bar, in retail, customer service, hospitality, or another fast-paced environment - and you're ready to turn those people skills into a professional career.

You do NOT need recruiting experience to apply.

In fact, this opportunity was designed for people who are new to recruiting. At Equiliem, we'll teach you how to become a recruiter from the ground up through comprehensive, hands-on training. You bring the personality, work ethic, communication skills, and willingness to learn. We'll teach you the recruiting business.

WHO WE ARE

Equiliem is a national recruiting and workforce solutions firm with an award-winning culture and a growing team.

Recruiting is ultimately a people business. Our recruiters build relationships, connect people with career opportunities, solve problems, and help companies find the talent they need to succeed.

We're looking for motivated individuals who want an opportunity to break into the professional world, develop valuable business skills, and build a long-term career.

YOU MIGHT BE A GREAT FIT IF...

You've worked as a:

Server or bartender
Retail associate
Hospitality professional
Call center representative
Recent college graduate
Campus or student leader

Or maybe you simply haven't had the opportunity to start your professional career yet.

That's okay.

We care more about your potential than having the "perfect" résumé.

If you know how to communicate with people, stay organized when things get busy, take feedback, work toward goals, and keep going when you hear "no," you already have many of the foundational skills that can make someone successful in recruiting.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

We don't expect you to walk in knowing how to recruit.

Our training program will teach you how to:

Find and connect with candidates using LinkedIn, job boards, referrals, and networking
Conduct professional phone screens and interviews
Understand a candidate's experience, goals, and motivations
Build relationships with candidates
Match candidates with career opportunities
Communicate professionally with candidates and internal teams
Discuss compensation and help navigate job offers
Manage candidate pipelines and follow-up
Use professional recruiting technology and applicant tracking systems
Develop the communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills used by successful recruiters

WHAT YOUR DAY WILL LOOK LIKE

Recruiting is fast-paced, social, and highly activity-driven.

You'll spend your day talking to people, building relationships, searching for candidates, conducting interviews, following up with candidates, collaborating with your team, and working toward weekly goals.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys staying busy and wants their effort to directly impact their success.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR (No recruiting experience required.)

We're looking for someone who is:

Confident communicating with new people
Comfortable spending significant time on the phone
Motivated by goals and results
Competitive and driven
Coachable and open to feedback
Reliable and responsive
Organized and able to follow through
Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
Excited to learn a new profession
Interested in building a long-term career
A bachelor's degree is preferred, but not required.
Previous experience in hospitality, restaurants, retail, customer service, sales, call centers, athletics, or campus leadership can be a great foundation for this position - but it is not required.

WHERE CAN THIS CAREER TAKE YOU?

This isn't intended to be just another entry-level job.

Our goal is to teach you a profession and give you the foundation to grow within the staffing and recruiting industry.

As you develop, there may be opportunities to advance into positions such as:

Recruiting can give motivated professionals the opportunity to develop skills in communication, interviewing, negotiation, sales, relationship management, business operations, and leadership.
