Job Description

Recruiter / Office Administrator

Richfield, Ohio | Full-Time | $44,000-$50,000 annually

An established transportation company in Richfield, Ohio is seeking a full-time Recruiter / Office Administrator .

The primary responsibility of this position is recruiting and hiring delivery drivers. The amount of recruiting required will vary based on staffing needs. At times, we may be fully staffed and recruiting activity will be relatively light. At other times, we may need to hire several drivers within a short period, and recruiting will become the primary focus of the position.

We are looking for someone who is proactive, persistent, organized and comfortable taking ownership of the hiring process. When drivers are needed, we expect this person to actively work the applicant pipeline every day and keep candidates moving through the hiring process until our staffing needs are met.

This is not a position for someone who simply posts a job and waits for applicants to respond. Successful recruiting requires promptly contacting applicants, following up with candidates, conducting interviews and staying on top of every step of the hiring process.

When recruiting demands are lower, the position will focus on office administration and employee-related responsibilities.

Responsibilities

• Manage recruiting and hiring for delivery-driver positions
• Review incoming applications and promptly contact qualified applicants
• Conduct brief phone interviews using an established interview process
• Schedule and assist with in-person interviews
• Follow up consistently with applicants throughout the hiring process
• Maintain an organized applicant pipeline and track candidates through each stage
• Coordinate background checks and other pre-employment requirements
• Assist new employees through the onboarding process
• Complete and maintain employee paperwork and personnel records
• Assist with workers' compensation matters and documentation
• Assist with unemployment claims and related paperwork
• Perform filing, recordkeeping and general office administration
• Maintain an organized, professional and clean office
• Assist management with other administrative duties as needed

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is comfortable taking ownership and getting things done without constant supervision .

The ideal candidate is professional and personable but also persistent. You should be comfortable spending significant time on the phone when recruiting needs are high and willing to follow up more than once with promising candidates.

Strong candidates will be organized, dependable, detail-oriented, able to manage multiple candidates and deadlines simultaneously, comfortable with basic computer and office systems, and able to maintain confidentiality when handling employee information.

Previous experience in recruiting, staffing, HR, office administration or high-volume hiring is preferred. Experience recruiting drivers or other hourly employees is especially helpful but is not required.

What Success Looks Like

The most important measure of success in this position is our ability to maintain the staffing levels needed to operate successfully .

When hiring needs increase, recruiting takes priority. We expect the person in this position to respond with urgency, actively work the available applicant pool, follow up consistently and move qualified candidates through the hiring process as efficiently as possible.

During periods when we are adequately staffed, the focus will shift toward onboarding, employee administration, workers' compensation and unemployment matters, recordkeeping, filing and keeping the office organized.

Schedule & Availability

This is a full-time position with a flexible schedule. Recruiting is the primary responsibility, and successful recruiting requires being available when applicants are available. While much of the work will take place during normal business hours, candidates are often available before or after work and on weekends.

The person in this position must be willing to adjust their schedule when necessary to speak with and interview qualified applicants. This does not mean working every evening or weekend; rather, we are looking for someone who understands that recruiting cannot always be limited to traditional office hours and who can manage their schedule accordingly.
