Job description

Senior Recruiter | Technical Recruitment Expert

Duration: 3 Months (May extend further)

Schedule: Monday - Friday 12 PM – 8:30 PM.

Description:

• The ideal candidate for us has experience working in a fast‑paced, high‑volume work environment.
• For someone with human lab experience, that means working in a high‑volume environment like a LabCorp or Quest. Processors/Accessioners/phlebotomists from those companies or a big high‑volume hospital work well for us.
• For someone with Vet Tech or Vet Assisting experience, if they also worked recently at an Amazon or FedEx or some other fulfillment position, or perhaps in food service that can be helpful – they can be a great fit but our production‑based work can at times be too fast for them if they are not from a big clinic.
• For someone with a recent Biology degree, the fast‑paced work history will be critical‑a research background typically does not work.
• For someone without lab experience at all:
  • A willingness to work with and handle blood, urine, fecals and biopsies.
  • Fast‑paced work history where they are on their feet and moving – food service, fulfillment, warehouse, production, Amazon / FedEx etc.

Base pay range: $20.00/hr - $22.50/hr
