Samplers Inc Hiring for Staffing Coordinator at Pawtucket, RI Full Time

We are currently looking to hire a full-time event coordinator to represent our in-house staffing agency, Samplers Inc.

What do our companies do? We help our clients (generally marketing agencies, retailers, liquor distributors/suppliers, and brands) promote their products and complete other marketing tasks such as merchandising or data collection. Samplers Inc. is a nationwide W2 employer with a database of field staff who complete this type of work, and we are always recruiting and bringing on new employees as well.

For more information Big Orange Productions and Samplers Inc. and what we do, we suggest finding us on Facebook or Instagram!

Staffing Coordinators play a key role in our company’s success. Staffing Coordinators work on multiple projects simultaneously. The goal of each project is simple: select people to represent our client’s brand and prepare those people to show up at the event and do a great job. Let’s be clear, however, getting to that finish line is not always easy. With most Staffing Coordinators booking multiple projects and hundreds of people each weekend, it takes a unique skillset to succeed.

Do you…?

– Want an entry level job with a high level of independence? You will be given various tools (phone, computer, database, training, etc.) to do the job. To that you will add your own interpersonal skills, problem solving ability, and drive to become successful.

– Strive for excellence? In your personal, work, or school life, do you always want to do better and be better? Our company has grown and thrived as a result of hard work and never settling for average and always striving for excellence.

– Take accountability for your actions? The blame game has no place here. Owning both our successes and failures allows us all to learn and grow.

– Handle stress well? It is 9am on Saturday and a brand ambassador who is scheduled for an event at 11am calls you to say she is sick and cannot work. 5 minutes later, you receive another call from a different brand ambassador also canceling for his event. What do you do? The ability to remain calm under pressure and solve problems is critical.

– Want career advancement opportunities? Our entire management team has been promoted from within and many started as Staffing Coordinators.

Duties:

– Selecting and scheduling employees for shifts.

– Communicating with field employees on an ongoing basis (phone, email, text message, etc.) to ensure they are prepared to successfully execute assigned shifts and all their questions are answered.

– Following internal Human Resources policies and guidelines regarding managing event staff.

– Learning clients’ internal systems for ing & compliance.

– Serving as liaison between clients/company management and field employees.

– Communicating daily with management about program specifics.

– Tracking event paperwork and invoicing.

– Communicating with clients regarding project details, as assigned.

– Recruiting and screening event staff for client projects as needed.

Ideal Candidate Qualities:

– Professional and assertive verbal and written communication skills

– Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment

– Ability to multi-task and handle stress of multiple demands being placed upon you at once
