Full-Desk Recruiter (Sales + Recruiting)

TruFit Staffing | Fife, WA | Full-Time

About TruFit Staffing

TruFit Staffing is an independently owned and operated staffing firm that has served Western Washington since 2017. We connect employers with skilled trades professionals, field technicians, advanced manufacturing talent, and logistics teams across King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties. We’re a small team, so your work shows up directly in our results. You won’t be a number in a call center.

The Role

This isn’t a desk-bound recruiting job, and it isn’t a pure sales job. It’s both. About half your time goes to winning and growing relationships with industrial and technical employers. The other half goes to finding the skilled people that employers can’t find on their own. You’ll own the full cycle, from walking a client’s shop floor to your candidate’s first day on the job.

What You’ll Do

Business Development & Client Outreach (up to 50%)

• Prospect and win new B2B clients in construction, advanced manufacturing, aerospace suppliers, distribution and logistics, facilities, and field services
• Make outbound calls, send emails, and visit job sites and plants to open new accounts
• Meet with plant managers, superintendents, operations leaders, and HR to understand their workforce needs, safety requirements, and timelines
• Negotiate bill rates and terms, and close new business
• Grow existing accounts through regular site visits, check-ins, and service reviews

Sourcing & Recruiting (up to 50%)

• Source skilled trades and technical talent, including electricians, maintenance techs, CNC machinists, welders, assemblers, field service technicians, forklift operators, warehouse leads, and CDL drivers
• Recruit through job boards, LinkedIn, trade schools, apprenticeship programs, veteran networks, union and community partners, and referrals
• Screen candidates for technical skills, certifications, licenses, and safety records
• Present qualified candidates to clients and manage interviews and skills assessments
• Extend offers, handle onboarding and safety compliance, and stay in touch after placement
• Build steady pipelines for high-volume and hard-to-fill roles

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of industrial recruiting experience
• A track record of opening new accounts and meeting placement goals
• Experience cold-calling and walking into shops, warehouses, and job sites
• Working knowledge of skilled trades, manufacturing, or logistics roles: you know the difference between a journeyman and an apprentice, and between a CNC operator and a programmer
• Organization and persistence, with the ability to manage several openings and clients at once
• Experience with ATS/CRM
• Knowledge of the Western Washington industrial market is a big plus

Why TruFit

• Real earning potential: a $50K base plus commission and bonus, with Year 1 earnings projected between $65k - $80k, growth from there
• Medical and dental, 100% employer-paid for the employee
• Retirement plan with a company match up to 3%
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Auto reimbursement for client visits and job site work
• Real ownership of your desk: your clients and your candidates
• A small, supportive team where your ideas get heard and put into action
