This is a hands-on role for someone who is resourceful, proactive, and motivated by the chance to help build a recruiting operation from the ground up. Over time, the role is expected to grow into a leadership position with the chance to support additional recruiters and expand recruiting operations as the business grows.

What Makes This Opportunity Different
