Recruiter – StaffSourceKnoxville, TN · Full-time · Onsite · Pay based on experienceGood recruiting changes people’s lives. A great placement can mean someone finally lands a job that fits, or a business owner can stop working double shifts because the role is filled. That’s the work we do at StaffSource, and we’re looking for another recruiter who wants to do it well.What you’ll actually be doingYour days will be a mix of finding people and getting to know them. You’ll source candidates through job boards, LinkedIn, referrals, and the occasional job fair. Then you’ll interview them by phone, video, or in person to learn what they’re good at and what they want next.When you find a strong match, you’ll present them to the client, set up interviews, and keep everyone in the loop until the person starts. That includes reference checks, verifications, and follow-up calls. The roles vary a lot, from temp and temp-to-hire to direct-hire, across admin, industrial, skilled trades, manufacturing, and professional positions.
