We provide hands-on training to help you learn the recruiting industry, develop valuable professional skills, and build a successful career.

Whether you're a recent college graduate, have a background in sales or customer service, or are simply looking for a new career path, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

As a Talent Acquisition Specialist, you'll connect talented professionals with exciting career opportunities at leading companies across the country.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Connect with candidates: Make 75–150 outbound calls daily to identify, engage, and build relationships with potential candidates.
• Find great talent: Use job boards, professional networks, and creative sourcing strategies to identify qualified candidates.
• Conduct interviews: Speak with candidates to learn about their experience, career goals, and qualifications.
• Match people with opportunities: Review job descriptions and identify candidates whose skills align with our clients' needs.
• Build strong resumes: Format and tailor candidate resumes using Microsoft Word to highlight relevant qualifications.
• Collaborate with your team: Work closely with recruiting managers and teammates to meet hiring goals.
• Develop your expertise: Learn new industries, recruiting techniques, and strategies to continuously improve your performance.

What We're Looking For

We believe great recruiters come from all kinds of backgrounds. More than anything, we're looking for individuals with the right attitude, motivation, and willingness to learn.

Our ideal candidate is:

• A strong communicator: You express yourself clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing.
• Tech-savvy: You're comfortable navigating multiple computer applications and have working knowledge of Microsoft Office.

Experience in sales, hospitality, customer service, call centers, or recruiting is a plus, but not required.

Here's what you can expect:

• Comprehensive hands-on training: Learn the fundamentals of recruiting, candidate sourcing, interviewing, and resume preparation.
