Recruiter – High-Performance Staffing Operations

Location: Allentown, PA
Serving: Lehigh Valley, Bethlehem, Easton, Nazareth, and surrounding areas
Employment Type: Full-Time
Compensation: Competitive base pay + performance-based incentives
Company: Rapid Staffing Solutions

About the Role

Rapid Staffing Solutions is hiring a Recruiter for a fast-moving staffing operation serving warehouse, logistics, distribution, and light industrial clients across the Lehigh Valley area.

This is not a passive HR role.

This is an execution role for someone who can recruit daily, screen with discipline, communicate clearly, move with urgency, and help build a reliable workforce that clients can trust.

Our standard is simple:

We do not send people just because we need bodies. We send people because they are prepared, aligned, reliable, and capable of doing the work.

The right person for this role understands that recruiting is not just calling applicants. Recruiting is judgment. Recruiting is follow-through. Recruiting is protecting the client relationship, respecting the candidate’s time, and making sure the person being sent has a real chance to succeed.

We are looking for someone who believes in excellence, accountability, honest communication, and operational discipline.

2. Candidate Screening and Quality Control

This role requires good judgment. Not every applicant should be sent to the client.

You will be responsible for identifying whether a candidate understands the job, can follow instructions, has reliable attendance, and is aligned with the position.

For certain warehouse roles, candidates may need basic computer ability, scanner/PDA/RF gun experience, or the ability to learn simple warehouse technology quickly.

You will help filter candidates by evaluating:

- Reliability
- Punctuality
- Communication
- Work ethic
- Ability to follow instructions
- Basic digital comfort with phone, scanner, PDA, RF gun, or computer
- Warehouse experience
- Shift availability
- Transportation stability
- Attendance risk
- Attitude and professionalism

The goal is not to reject people unfairly. The goal is to place the right person in the right assignment so the worker, client, and company all succeed.

3. Interviewing and Candidate Classification

You will interview candidates using a structured process.

Candidates must not only say they can do the job. They must show that they understand the job.

You will classify candidates based on fit:

- A Candidates: Strong fit. Send first.
- B Candidates: Good potential. May need monitoring or training.
- C Candidates: Not right for the current assignment, but may fit another role.
- D Candidates: Do not send due to reliability, attitude, availability, or comprehension concerns.

This position requires the ability to make decisions quickly and document those decisions clearly.

4. Onboarding and First-Day Start Support

You will help move selected candidates through the onboarding process and prepare them for their assignment.

Responsibilities include:

- Confirming job location, shift, pay, start date, and reporting instructions
- Making sure candidates understand attendance expectations
- Confirming that candidates know where to report
- Following up before the first day
- Tracking who starts, who does not show, and why
- Helping reduce first-day confusion and no-shows

5. KPI Ownership

This role is measured by results.

You will be expected to track and report recruiting activity daily.

Key metrics may include:

- Leads contacted
- Candidates reached
- Appointments scheduled
- Candidates who show up
- Candidates who complete screening
- Candidates classified as A/B/C/D
- Candidates sent to client
- Candidates who start
- No-shows
- First-week retention
- Candidate rejection reasons
- Replacement needs

Success in this role is not measured only by how many people were contacted. Success is measured by how many qualified people were placed, started, performed, and stayed.

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone with urgency, discipline, and professional pride.

The right candidate is:

- Comfortable making calls and following up all day
- Organized and consistent with details
- Strong under pressure
- Direct but respectful
- Able to communicate clearly with applicants
- Able to identify weak candidates without being rude or unfair
- Able to work with high-volume recruiting targets
- Comfortable using recruiting platforms, phone systems, text, email, spreadsheets, and basic reporting tools
- Able to protect the company’s reputation through clear communication and good judgment
- Coachable, accountable, and serious about performance

Our Values

Excellence

We do the work correctly, not just quickly. Speed matters, but quality protects the client, the worker, and the company.

Accountability

We own our numbers, our follow-up, our communication, and our results. Excuses do not build a workforce. Execution does.

Honesty

We explain the job accurately. We do not oversell assignments. We do not promise what has not been approved. We do not send candidates into jobs they do not understand.

Respect

Applicants are people, not inventory. Workers should be treated with dignity, clarity, and professionalism. Respect also means telling the truth when a role is not the right fit.

Urgency

Staffing moves fast. Clients need employees, and people need jobs. Candidates need answers. The right recruiter does not wait passively. The right recruiter finds the right solution despite the problem.

Operational Discipline

Recruiter is poised and detail oriented: every call, appointment, no-show, start, and rejection reason matters. The details create the system. The system creates results.

Requirements

This Role Is a Strong Fit If You Are Competitive!

- Ability to respond to leads immediately
- Ability to follow up until lead is classified
- Strong phone, text, and follow-up skills
