Position Overview

We're seeking a Full Desk Recruiter / Account Manager - someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can manage both sides of the desk: recruiting top talent and managing client partnerships. We need a confident, driven professional who can balance constant inbound traffic, urgent requests, and relationship management with precision, speed, and care.

What You'll Do

  • Manage a full recruiting desk: source, interview, and place candidates across key skill sets.
  • Build, grow, and maintain relationships with client companies
  • Anticipate client needs and act fast to deliver results that exceed expectations.
  • Handle a high-volume environment: walk-ins, phones, texts, and emails - often all at once.
  • Deliver an exceptional candidate and client experience through clear communication, empathy, and problem-solving.
  • De-escalate difficult calls or situations with professionalism and composure.
  • Leverage multiple systems daily (CRM, scheduling, recruiting platforms, payroll systems) with speed and accuracy.
  • Track metrics and performance goals related to interviews, placements, and client activity.

What It Takes

  • Prior recruiting or staffing experience strongly preferred; B2B account management or sales background ideal.
  • Exceptional multitasking and organizational skills - this desk moves fast.
  • Outstanding communication - both written and verbal - with a high comfort level on the phone.
  • Ability to learn new systems quickly and toggle between multiple digital tools at once.
  • Emotional intelligence, resilience, and a solutions-first mindset.
  • A genuine drive to help people succeed and businesses grow.
  • Valid Driver's License and own vehicle required
