[Hiring] Full Desk Recruiter @JR Recruiting

Role Description

At JR Recruiting, we believe great recruiting is honest, organized, and human, and that AI should make it faster, not colder. We're a boutique recruiting firm in Naperville. We run high-volume sales hiring programs for a Fortune 500 logistics company, and specialized technology and leadership searches for growing businesses.

We're growing into 2027, and we're looking for our first full desk recruiter: someone who wants to own client relationships, deliver great hires, and help build the way this firm works.

• Partner with hiring managers like you're on their team. Learn what a great hire looks like for each team, not just what the job description says.
• Run full-cycle recruiting: intake, sourcing, screening, submittals, offers, and pre-start check-ins so new hires actually show up on day one.
• Give every candidate an honest picture of the role, the pay, and the first 90 days. We'd rather lose a candidate in the first call than in the first week.
• Grow the accounts you support and bring in new clients.
• Use AI throughout your day, from sourcing and outreach to notes and reporting, so your time goes into the conversations that matter.
• Keep every tracker, submittal, and client update accurate. Details are how we earn trust.

Qualifications

• Emotionally intelligent. You read people well and can be candid and kind in the same conversation, whether it's a candidate weighing an offer or a client under pressure.
• Efficient. You close every loop, protect your calendar, and never let a candidate wonder what's next.
• Exceptional attention to detail a must.
• Someone who works smarter, not harder. You build templates, checklists, and shortcuts, and you're always asking how to do it better next time.
• AI positive. You already use AI in your work, you check its output, and you protect candidate and client information.
• Driven by results. You like a scoreboard and own your numbers.

Requirements

• Minimum 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting, agency or corporate.
• Business development experience, or a real appetite to build it.
• High-volume or technology recruiting experience is a plus.
• Applicant tracking system experience (Zoho Recruit and Workday is a plus).

Benefits

• Base salary plus commission on the placements and business you drive.
• Your own desk, with direct mentorship from our founder.
• A seat at the table early, and a path to leadership as we grow.
