Recruiter — Nuclear & Utility MSP Staffing

Posted 2 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

Growth Path: Strong performers will have the opportunity to grow into a Delivery Lead role as our team expands Read This First This is a high-volume, deadline-driven MSP staffing desk. When a requisition is released, qualified resumes must be submitted within hours — not days. The first qualified submittals win; late submittals lose, no matter how good the candidate is. We have hired good recruiters before who could not operate at this speed, and it did not work. If your style is to work a req carefully over several days, this is not the desk for you — and that's okay. If you thrive on speed, competition, and same-day turnarounds, keep reading. About Staffor Staffor Consulting is a 20-year-old staffing firm focused exclusively on nuclear, utility, power generation, engineering, and construction talent. We are a Tier 1 preferred supplier across multiple national MSP programs and were recently awarded a new nuclear utility account — which is why we're growing our delivery team. We are a small, high-performing firm. There is no bureaucracy here. You will work directly with the owner, your work will be visible, and your results will matter from day one. The Role You will own full-cycle recruiting on active requisitions across our nuclear and utility MSP client programs — roughly 35–50 open reqs per month across engineering, technical, and craft positions. You inherit real infrastructure: established candidate pipelines, pre-built LinkedIn Recruiter projects, a mature ATS, and 20 years of client relationships. Your job is to convert that into fast, high-quality submittals and successful placements — often the same day the req is released. What you'll do: – Jump on new reqs the moment they drop — triage, source, screen, and submit qualified candidates within hours – Own requisitions end to end: sourcing, screening, rate discussions, submittal, and candidate management through start date – Work candidate pipelines aggressively via phone, LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS, and email — this is a phone-forward desk, not a message-and-wait desk – Screen fast without cutting corners. We submit candidates who are qualified, committed, and will show up on day one. We do not submit keyword matches — and we do not submit late. – Compete for position in MSP submittal queues where supplier rankings are earned on speed and quality – Manage candidates through client decision cycles and keep them engaged – Maintain clean, accurate pipeline records and communicate status proactively – For senior-level candidates: help build and refine delivery processes, with a path to leading a team (recruiting coordinator, sourcers) as volume grows What We're Looking For Required — no exceptions: – 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in an agency or staffing firm environment (corporate/internal recruiting alone does not qualify) – Hands-on experience working in MSP/VMS programs (Fieldglass, Beeline, or similar) — you understand supplier competition, submittal SLAs, and why the first qualified resumes in the queue win – A proven track record of same-day and next-day submittals at volume — you will be asked for specific examples with numbers, and we verify – Hustle. You chase reqs, chase candidates, and chase closure. You follow up relentlessly and never let a req sit idle waiting for someone to tell you what to do. – Demonstrated ability to independently manage a req load and make submit/hold decisions without hand-holding – Strong phone presence — comfortable cold-calling candidates and having direct rate conversations – Experience with an ATS and LinkedIn Recruiter – Honesty. We never fabricate or oversell a candidate's credentials. We flag gaps openly. Speed never excuses a bad submittal. If this isn't how you operate, don't apply. – Available full-time, 8 AM – 5 PM CST Strongly preferred: – Experience recruiting for nuclear, utility, power generation, construction, or industrial/technical roles – Experience supporting US staffing firms or RPOs on high-volume, deadline-driven desks – For senior candidates: experience mentoring recruiters, running a desk at volume, or building recruiting processes Why This Role – Real ownership. You run your desk. No layers, no committees. – Warm infrastructure. Established pipelines and pre-built LinkedIn Recruiter projects — you're not building from zero, which is exactly what makes same-day submittals possible. – Growth that's actually real. We are scaling from $7M to $10M and building a delivery team. The Delivery Lead role will be filled from within if we hire the right person now. – A niche that pays. Nuclear and utility staffing is specialized, relationship-driven, and far less commoditized than general staffing.
