Prince George, BC | Full-Time, Permanent

$65,000 Base Salary + Commission on New Business

Tuesday–Friday, 9:00 AM–4:00 PM

• Build relationships with local employers and turn opportunities into new clients and job orders

• Grow existing client relationships by identifying additional recruitment and staffing needs

• Conduct client meetings and workplace visits

• Hands-on experience with full-cycle recruitment

• Strong interviewing and candidate assessment skills

• Strong client service and relationship-building abilities

• Confidence prospecting, networking and approaching prospective clients

• A genuine drive to develop new business and grow a client base

Working Hours & Schedule

This position works Tuesday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Our offices are closed on Mondays. There is no regular Monday work schedule; however, you’ll periodically check email and phone messages remotely and respond if something genuinely urgent requires attention.

Our culture is collaborative, supportive and straightforward. Honesty and transparency are important, and we believe in treating each other, our clients and our candidates with respect. We share information, help each other when things get busy and work through challenges together.

We’re professional, but we’re also friendly, down-to-earth and like to have fun at work. We value open communication, accountability and people who contribute positively to the team.

While you’ll work independently from our Prince George office, you won’t be on an island. You’ll have regular contact, collaboration and support from our Kamloops team and will be an important part of the broader Excel Personnel team.

What We Offer

• $65,000 annual base salary

• Commission on new business, giving you additional earning potential as you grow your client base and the Prince George market

About Excel Personnel

For 33 years, Excel Personnel has been connecting employers with great people throughout British Columbia.

We provide temporary, contract and permanent recruitment and staffing services to organizations across the province. We don’t specialize in one particular industry or type of position, which means there’s plenty of variety. One search could be for an accounting professional, the next for an administrative employee, skilled tradesperson, manager or executive.

That variety keeps recruitment interesting and gives our team the opportunity to continually learn about different businesses, industries and occupations.

After more than three decades in business, we’re proud of the relationships we’ve built and the reputation Excel Personnel has earned in the communities we serve. We believe in doing business honestly, treating people well and following through on our commitments.

If you’re an experienced recruiter who wants to step into an established desk, make it your own, grow your earnings through business development and have a supportive team behind you, we’d love to hear from you.
