STAFFING SPECIALIST

Full-Time · Loris, South Carolina (on-site)

Looking for a front desk job? Look elsewhere.

Looking for a post where you’re the first face every candidate sees — and the person who decides who we talk to next? Read on.

We’re Laudisi — the people behind Smokingpipes.com, Peterson of Dublin, Cornell & Diehl, Low Country Pipe & Cigar, and a handful of other brands you’ve probably never heard of (but our customers are obsessed with). Over 275 Laudisians make it all happen, and we’re looking for others like us to help support our rapid growth. A lot of them find us the old-fashioned way: they walk through the front door and ask. The person who greets them should be the person who can move them forward.

This role reports to our HR Manager and owns two things at once: the front end of our hiring and our front desk.

Your role? You’re the front door between the people who want to work here and the managers who need them.

WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY DO

Keep every candidate moving, from the moment they apply or walk in to the day they get an answer, with the kind of care that makes people say, “I didn’t get the job, and I’d still tell my friends to apply there.”

That’s the standard. Every candidate. Every visitor.

You’ll also

Review incoming applications and flag the strong ones to hiring managers before someone else hires them
Run phone screens and keep candidates moving, so no one is left waiting on a callback
Schedule interviews and send confirmations, reminders, and follow-ups
Go find great people: job boards, past applicants, referrals, schools, and wherever else they turn up
Post and refresh job ads so they’re current and getting seen
Keep our applicant tracking system accurate and every candidate in the loop
Run the front desk: greet visitors and sign in guests and interviewees
Welcome walk-in applicants and get them into the hiring process on the spot
Handle mail and deliveries, and keep the lobby looking sharp

YOU’LL THRIVE HERE IF

You’re not looking to process applicants. You’re looking to find the right ones.

You genuinely like people, and it shows in every conversation: in the lobby, on the phone, and in every email you send. When the phone rings, the door opens, and three candidates need rescheduling at once, you stay calm and friendly and handle all of it. You’re organized enough that nothing, and no one, slips through the cracks.

You can size someone up quickly and fairly, and you take the “fairly” part seriously. You’d rather pick up the phone and call a stranger than wait for the perfect candidate to find us. And you show up on time because that’s what professionals do, and because the first thing a visitor sees should never be an empty chair.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

While a background in recruiting or HR will help, what we’re really looking for is:

A real intolerance for sloppiness. When a candidate’s status is wrong or a confirmation didn’t go out, you notice and you fix it.
A professional, confident phone presence, and the nerve to call people who weren’t expecting to hear from you.
Curiosity about pipes, cigars, or really any other “deep hobby” world where the minutiae really matter.
1 to 3 years of experience in recruiting coordination or HR
Experience with an applicant tracking system preferred
Strong Microsoft Office or Google Workspace skills
High school diploma or equivalent
Availability to work on-site, Monday through Friday, and the ability to pass a criminal background check

YOU CAN EXPECT

Compensation and benefits: $21.00/hour; health, dental, and vision insurance; six paid holidays; generous PTO; 401(k) with 1:1 match up to 4% and no vesting period.
Perks: casual dress (jeans and t‑shirts), tuition reimbursement, referral bonuses, year‑end bonuses, fresh fruit daily, paid luncheons, and regular company events.
Growth: real opportunities to take on more responsibility as you master the work, improve processes, and show you can own outcomes — not just tasks.
Culture: a passionate group of “Laudisians” who like the products, like the customers, and like working with other people who actually care.
Reality check: we work around tobacco and smoke; many of us are enthusiasts. You’ll [often] be in smoking areas, so you’ll need to be comfortable with that.

THE BOTTOM LINE

This job isn’t for everyone. It’s for people who like people, who get frustrated when a good candidate falls through the cracks, and who want to be the reason the right person says yes.

If you’re reading this and thinking, “Finally, a role where talking to people all day is the actual job” — apply below.

If you’re reading this and thinking, “Wow, they sound intense” — we probably are. And that’s fine. There are plenty of other jobs out there.

But if you want to help decide who joins a growing company, and be the reason they say yes?

We’re building something here. Come help us build it right.
