Staffing Specialist

About Reliable Temps

Reliable Temps Inc. has been connecting businesses with qualified talent since 1989. We're a locally owned staffing firm serving Western Massachusetts and northern Connecticut, with deep relationships across manufacturing, logistics, clerical, and professional industries.

We're a small, entrepreneurial team with a 35+ year track record. Decisions happen quickly. Effort is visible. Results matter.

We have a strong temporary staffing base — and a direct-hire practice with significant room to grow.

The Opportunity

This is not a back-office recruiting role.

As a Staffing Specialist, you'll own the full cycle of recruiting and client management — from sourcing candidates to developing long-term client partnerships. This role is client-facing and performance-driven — you’ll be on the phone daily, building relationships, filling openings quickly, and generating revenue.

You’ll work directly with hiring managers, solve staffing problems in real time, and help expand our direct-hire business.

If you want a role where you can build something — not just maintain it — this is it.

What You'll Do

• Manage full-cycle recruiting for temporary, temp-to-hire, and direct-hire placements
• Source, screen, and interview candidates across multiple industries and skill levels
• Develop strong relationships with client companies to understand their needs and culture
• Proactively build candidate pipelines before positions open
• Monitor placements and ensure client satisfaction
• Identify and pursue new business opportunities, especially in direct-hire recruiting
• Maintain accurate records and ensure compliance with employment regulations

Who Succeeds Here

You don't need staffing experience — we will train the right person.

You do need:

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Comfort picking up the phone and having business conversations
• Ability to juggle multiple priorities without losing details
• A self-starter mindset in a small-team environment
• Motivation to grow professionally and contribute to revenue growth

We value accountability, responsiveness, and follow-through — both with clients and candidates.

Experience in sales, recruiting, account management, or customer service is a plus.
