But, unlike other jobs in the staffing industry, Elwood treats you like a business partner: We reward our recruiters with a competitive base wage and an UNLIMITED pay-for-performance incentive program. The more workers your team places in a profitable manner, the more money you can make.

A conviction record will not necessarily prevent you from being employed. You will be required to complete and submit a questionnaire. We will consider your age at the time of the offense, when the offense occurred, the seriousness and the nature of the offense, as well as any rehabilitation to determine your employability. A pre-employment drug screen is also required as a condition of employment. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.
