Candidate Sourcer / Recruiter — Direct-Hire Recruiting Agency

Oberg and Associates, LLC
Full-Time | On-Site | Addison, TX

About the Role

Oberg and Associates is seeking a driven, competitive Candidate Sourcer / Recruiter to join our team. This role is focused on the candidate side of agency recruiting—identifying talented professionals, generating candidate interest, building relationships, and developing a strong pipeline of qualified candidates for our clients. This is an entry-level role and would be ideal for someone who has 1-2 years of recruiting/sourcing experience or who is just starting out in the recruiting space.

This is not a passive recruiting role. Success requires consistent outbound activity, including cold calling, creative sourcing, networking, follow-up, and direct outreach to professionals who may not be actively looking for a new opportunity.

We operate in a fast-paced, high-pressure, results-driven environment. We're looking for someone who enjoys the challenge of finding the right person, isn't intimidated by the phone, and has the work ethic and determination to keep going when the easy searches and easy conversations run out.

What You'll Do

• Source and recruit qualified candidates for direct-hire opportunities with our client companies
• Conduct a high volume of outbound cold calls to prospective candidates
• Identify passive candidates who may not be actively searching for a new position
• Utilize LinkedIn, job boards, databases, referrals, networking, internet research, and other sourcing tools to uncover talent
• Develop creative sourcing strategies for difficult-to-fill positions
• Conduct initial candidate conversations and evaluate experience, qualifications, career goals, compensation expectations, and overall fit
• Build and maintain an active pipeline of qualified candidates
• Develop strong relationships with candidates throughout the recruiting process
• Consistently follow up with candidates and keep recruiting activity moving forward
• Maintain accurate and detailed candidate information within our recruiting/ATS system
• Work closely with senior recruiters and account managers to understand client needs and recruiting priorities
• Meet established activity, sourcing, and recruiting goals
• Take ownership of searches and continuously look for new ways to generate results

What We're Looking For

Required:

• 1–3 years of recruiting, sourcing, staffing, sales, business development, or other relevant outbound experience
• Comfortable making outbound cold calls and initiating conversations with people you don't know
• Strong work ethic and willingness to put in the activity necessary to produce results
• Highly motivated with a genuine drive to succeed
• Comfortable working in a high-pressure, performance-driven environment
• Persistent and willing to continue pursuing a search when candidates are difficult to find
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Comfortable learning and utilizing multiple recruiting and technology platforms
• Organized and able to manage multiple searches, candidates, and priorities simultaneously
• Coachable and receptive to feedback
• Self-motivated and able to take initiative without needing constant direction

You'll Be Successful Here If You...

• Are competitive and motivated by achieving measurable results
• Pick up the phone instead of relying solely on emails or LinkedIn messages
• Don't take rejection personally
• Are comfortable hearing "no" and making the next call
• Have the persistence to find candidates others can't
• Take ownership when something isn't working and change your approach
• Enjoy working toward goals and being held accountable for your results
• Are naturally curious and willing to dig deeper to find the right candidate
• Want to continuously improve your recruiting and sourcing skills
• Bring energy, urgency, and a strong work ethic to your job every day

This Role May Not Be the Right Fit If...

This position probably isn't for you if you prefer recruiting primarily through inbound applications, are uncomfortable making cold calls, need significant direction to stay productive, or dislike working in an environment where activity and results are measured.

Agency recruiting requires persistence. Candidates won't always answer. Searches won't always be easy. Priorities can change quickly. We're looking for someone who sees those challenges as part of the job, not a reason to slow down.

Why Oberg and Associates?

Oberg and Associates is an established outside recruiting agency specializing in connecting talented professionals with our client companies within the corrugated packaging industry. Our recruiters work in an environment that values initiative, accountability, persistence, teamwork, and results.

For someone who is motivated to build a career in recruiting, this position offers the opportunity to develop strong sourcing and recruiting skills while learning the direct-hire agency business from an experienced team.

If you're driven, resourceful, comfortable picking up the phone, and ready to be held accountable for your results, we'd like to hear from you.
