Employment Specialist

Express Employment Professionals | Christiansburg, VA

Change Lives. Build Careers. Strengthen Businesses.

Are you passionate about helping people succeed? Do you enjoy building relationships, solving problems, and making a real impact every day?

At Express Employment Professionals, we do more than fill jobs—we connect talented people with meaningful careers and help local businesses build exceptional teams. Every successful placement changes a life, supports a family, and strengthens our community.

We're looking for an energetic, people-focused Employment Specialist to join our growing Christiansburg team serving the New River Valley. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy working with people, and want a career with purpose, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

As an Employment Specialist, you'll serve as both a trusted career advisor and a workforce consultant. You'll help job seekers discover rewarding opportunities while partnering with local businesses to solve their hiring challenges.

Your responsibilities include:

• Interviewing, evaluating, and matching candidates with positions that align with their skills, experience, and career goals.
• Creating an exceptional candidate experience from the first conversation through placement and follow-up.
• Recruiting top talent through online job boards, social media, referrals, networking, community outreach, and recruiting events.
• Building strong relationships with local employers to understand their workforce needs.
• Partnering with our Business Development team to deliver customized staffing solutions.
• Managing multiple job openings and candidate pipelines while maintaining excellent organization and attention to detail.
• Communicating consistently with candidates and clients to ensure a smooth hiring process.
• Representing Express Employment Professionals with professionalism, integrity, and exceptional customer service.

What Makes You a Great Fit

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys helping people and thrives on building lasting relationships.

You bring:

• Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills.
• A positive, energetic, and customer-focused attitude.
• Strong organizational and time-management abilities.
• The ability to prioritize multiple responsibilities in a fast-paced environment.
• Professionalism, accountability, and a collaborative mindset.
• Confidence communicating in person, by phone, email, and social media.
• A desire to learn, grow, and continuously improve.

Experience in recruiting, staffing, customer service, sales, human resources, business development, or account management is a plus—but not required.

If you're motivated, coachable, and eager to build a rewarding career, we'll provide the training and support you need to succeed.

Why Express?

We offer:
