• Coordinate and schedule interviews, extend verbal offers, and guide candidates through accepting a position
• Walk new hires through hiring and onboarding paperwork, including I-9/E-Verify requirements
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date candidate records in the applicant tracking system
• Track recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, source of hire, offer-acceptance rate) and report on progress against open requisitions
• Represent the company at job fairs, community events, and other recruiting events
• Stay current on labor market trends, wage competitiveness, and compliance requirements related to hiring

Qualifications

• Fluent in both English and Spanish (spoken and written)
• High school diploma or GED required
• 1+ years of experience in recruiting, staffing, or talent acquisition preferred
• Strong computer skills with the ability to quickly learn new software, including an applicant tracking system
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook)
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build rapport quickly
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple open requisitions at once
• Comfortable making outbound calls and following up persistently with candidates
• Reliable, dependable, and professional
• Ability to handle confidential candidate and employee information with discretion

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous experience recruiting for light industrial, warehouse, janitorial, or staffing roles
