  • Strong Communicator: Comfortable on the phone, engaging, and able to talk with people from all backgrounds.
  • Organized & Detail-Oriented: Able to manage multiple open roles and keep candidate records updated.
  • Self-Motivated: Proactive attitude with the drive to make daily outbound calls without needing constant supervision.
  • Helpful Experience: Background in customer service, call centers, administrative roles, sales, or staffing is a plus (but not required).
  • Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with skilled trades (welding, machining, electrical, maintenance tech) or light industrial work is helpful.
  • Dependable: Reliable, consistent, and ready to show up and do great work every day.
