Staffing Coordinator - Full-time / Part-time

Staffing Consultant Job Description
Position: Staffing Consultant
Reports to: Franchisee/Manager
FLSA Status: Exempt
Principal Accountabilities of the Position
To assist in accomplishing the goals and objectives of the office by exercising multi-tasking, decision-making, and problem-solving skills.
Role of the Staffing Consultant
The Staffing Consultant - the inside sales person - in an Express office plays a vital role because the Staffing Consultant is the link between both the client companies and the associates (temporary employees). The Staffing Consultant consistently exercises discretionary judgment in administering Express systems and procedures in recruiting, hiring, and assigning associates to clients within the franchise territory. The Staffing Consultant is also responsible for retaining qualified associates and for inside sales, including responsibility for increasing sales and hours by making telephone sales calls for a portion of each day.
If a Staffing Consultant can assign a high percentage of associates and keep a greater number of associates working longer, the results are increased revenue, reduced recruiting costs, and better service to clients.
Clients appreciate and come back for quality service. The Staffing Consultant takes the job order, assigns the associate, and follows up to ensure client satisfaction. The quality of service causes a client company to select one staffing service over another.
Service is based on people, and people are never perfect. However, a good Staffing Consultant can smooth out difficulties resulting from human imperfections and assure both quality and quantity in terms of associates and assignments.
