About The Position

Are you a seasoned recruiter with a knack for finding top talent? Do you enjoy building partnerships across teams, creating strong candidate experiences, and helping a growing company scale the right way? Socket Fiber is looking for a Recruiter to support hiring across the organization—from Sales, Field Technicians, and Fiber Splicers to Network Engineers, Customer Support Specialists, and more. In this role, you’ll own the full recruitment lifecycle while helping shape how we attract, engage, and hire talent. You’ll partner closely with hiring managers, represent Socket in the community, and play a key role in building the teams that power our growth. A Day in the Life You’ll start your day reviewing open roles, checking in with hiring managers, and prioritizing where to focus your recruiting efforts. From there, you might source candidates for a hard-to-fill technical role or connect with candidates to move them through the process. Some days you’ll be deep in sourcing and pipeline building; other days you’ll be attending a local event, partnering with a leader on a new role, or extending an offer. No two days look the same—but every day, you’re helping build the team that drives Socket forward. Why Join Socket Fiber? At Socket Fiber, we're redefining what it means to connect communities. We share a mission-driven culture focused on bringing high-speed internet to areas that need it most. We're not just selling a service—we're providing access, opportunity, and real change.
