Staffing Coordinator/Recruiter

Job Overview
H&R Labor is hiring an experienced, motivated, and high-performing Recruiter to support our growing client base across the Agriculture Processing, Food Manufacturing, Packinghouse, Warehouse, and Light Industrial industries.

You will be responsible for building and maintaining a strong pipeline of talent, filling urgent job orders, and helping our company attract, hire, and retain dependable employees based on our clients’ production demands.

A successful Recruiter at H&R Labor is resourceful, disciplined, fast-moving, and able to recruit using both traditional methods and creative “boots on the ground” strategies.
