This position can be an excellent opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to develop valuable business, communication, interviewing, recruiting, and people skills while gaining exposure to multiple areas of a growing company.

This is a people-focused, results-driven role for someone who enjoys building relationships, solving problems, learning new skills, and being held accountable to results. The right person will play a key role in helping qualified candidates take the next step in the recruiting process while supporting the continued growth of our training program.

This Role Is Not For Everyone

If you're looking for a role primarily focused on paperwork, compliance, filing, policies, or administrative HR responsibilities, this probably isn't the right fit. Success in this role is measured by results. Candidates will miss appointments. They'll stop responding. They'll change their minds. Sometimes they'll tell you one thing and do another. You'll need to stay organized, follow up consistently, navigate obstacles, and continue moving candidates through the process.

You'll have goals to achieve, problems to solve, and situations that require sound judgment rather than a simple checklist.

The people who thrive here are resilient, adaptable, emotionally intelligent, accountable, and motivated by growth, challenge, and results.

Growth & Opportunity

As Mast continues to grow, so do the opportunities within it.

People who perform, take ownership, and consistently produce results often earn increased responsibility over time. That may include interviewing responsibilities, expanded recruiting responsibilities, leadership opportunities, or other career paths throughout the company.

Qualifications

• High School Diploma required; Bachelor's Degree preferred.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Professional office, customer service, recruiting, sales, leadership, or related experience is helpful but not required.
• Comfortable learning new technology and systems.
• Ability to travel between Massillon and Millersburg locations.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
