Internal Recruiter

Champaign, IL | Full-Time

If you’re the kind of recruiter who enjoys talking to people, influencing decisions, closing the loop, and seeing your work directly impact a business, this might be your lane.

We’re a locally owned Express Employment Professionals office in Champaign, and we’re adding an Internal Recruiter to help attract, evaluate, and place talent across light industrial, skilled, and office roles.

Manage job postings across multiple job boards and social platforms
Conduct in-person, phone, and virtual interviews
Match candidates to roles using a consultative, problem-solving approach
Maintain accurate and compliant candidate records in our ATS
Partner closely with internal recruiters and leadership to support hiring demands
Follow up, close loops, and drive candidates through the hiring process
Deliver a high-touch, professional candidate experience from first contact through placement

What We’re Looking For

Recruiting, staffing, HR, or talent acquisition experience preferred
Sales, customer service, or relationship-based experience strongly valued
Confident communicator who can influence, build rapport, and overcome objections
Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple priorities
Comfortable using ATS platforms, job boards, and recruiting technology
People-first mindset with strong follow-through and accountability
Local to Champaign or willing to commute

Competitive base pay
Performance-based bonuses tied to results
Paid time off and paid holidays
Health benefits
Hands-on training and ongoing support
A stable, locally owned office with national backing
Clear growth and leadership opportunities within the organization
