POSITION SUMMARY

A & Associates is seeking an experienced, organized, and highly accountable Staffing Manager – Compliance & Operations to join our Dallas staffing team.

This position functions as a full Staffing Manager while also serving as the designated owner of the staffing division’s compliance processes. Unlike other Staffing Manager positions, this role carries specific responsibility for ensuring that pre-employment, onboarding, and employee compliance requirements are completed accurately and consistently across the staffing team.

The Staffing Manager – Compliance & Operations will manage an assigned portfolio of client accounts, recruit and place candidates, support active associates, and maintain strong client relationships. Because this individual will also own the compliance function, the assigned book of business will be structured appropriately to allow sufficient capacity for both responsibilities.

The compliance component of the role includes oversight of electronic onboarding documents, Form I-9 completion and verification, background checks, identification and employment authorization documentation, internal file audits, document tracking, and resolution of compliance deficiencies.

The ideal candidate is an experienced staffing professional who can successfully manage clients and recruiting activity while also bringing exceptional attention to detail, follow-through, and ownership to the compliance function

The Staffing Manager – Compliance & Operations will serve as the primary owner of staffing compliance activities and will be accountable for maintaining consistent compliance standards across the staffing team.

Responsibilities include:

• Own and coordinate the pre-employment compliance process for staffing placements.
• Manage electronic onboarding and e-signature documentation.
• Review employee and applicant documentation for accuracy and completeness.
• Complete and/or review Form I-9 employment eligibility verification in accordance with federal requirements and company procedures.

ROLE STRUCTURE

This position is part of the staffing team and will report to the National Staffing Director and Director of Operations.

The role is intentionally structured differently from a traditional Staffing Manager position.

While the individual will maintain responsibility for an assigned book of business and recruiting activity, the size and complexity of that portfolio will be adjusted to account for the individual’s additional ownership of staffing compliance.

Success will therefore be measured across two primary areas:

• Effective management, recruiting, and servicing of assigned client accounts.
• Accurate, timely, and consistent ownership of the staffing division’s compliance function.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• High school diploma or GED required.
• Associate or bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Management, or a related field preferred.
• Minimum of 2–3 years of staffing agency, recruiting, account management, or related workforce-management experience preferred.
• Previous experience completing or reviewing Form I-9 documentation strongly preferred.
• Experience coordinating background checks and pre-employment screening.
• Experience managing electronic onboarding or e-signature documentation.
• Experience reviewing employee files, onboarding records, or compliance documentation.
• Previous responsibility for client or account management strongly preferred.
• Ability to recruit, screen, interview, and manage candidates through the placement process.
• Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office and web-based staffing systems.
• Ability to learn applicant tracking, onboarding, background-screening, and compliance platforms quickly.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong organizational and time-management abilities.
• Ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines without sacrificing accuracy.
• Must demonstrate exceptional attention to detail and follow-through.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES

The successful candidate must demonstrate:

• Strong staffing and recruiting skills.
• Ability to manage and grow strong client relationships.
• Exceptional attention to detail.
• Strong understanding of onboarding and employment documentation.
• Ability to identify incomplete, inconsistent, or potentially noncompliant records.
• Strong organizational and follow-through skills.
• Ability to manage high volumes of information and documentation accurately.
• Ability to balance client urgency with required compliance standards.
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability.
• Ability to communicate compliance expectations clearly and professionally.
• Ability to maintain confidentiality and exercise sound judgment.
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
• Ability to prioritize responsibilities across staffing, recruiting, client service, and compliance.
• Ability to work collaboratively while independently owning an assigned functional responsibility.

SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE

Success in this position requires someone who understands that staffing speed and compliance must work together.

The individual must be capable of filling positions, supporting clients, managing associates, and driving recruiting activity while also ensuring that no associate is placed without satisfying required documentation, screening, and verification requirements.

The ideal candidate will:

• Take full ownership of the compliance process.
• Identify documentation issues before they become larger risks.
• Maintain organized and audit-ready employee records.
• Follow through consistently on incomplete or outstanding requirements.
• Hold others accountable for submitting required documentation.
• Maintain a strong sense of urgency without compromising accuracy.
• Effectively manage an assigned client portfolio.
• Recruit and place qualified candidates.
• Communicate proactively with clients, candidates, associates, recruiters, and leadership.
• Balance operational demands with attention to detail.
• Take ownership of issues through resolution.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

• Professional office and staffing environment.
• Frequent use of computers, applicant tracking systems, onboarding platforms, email, telephone, and electronic document systems.
• High volume of interaction with applicants, associates, clients, recruiters, and Staffing Managers.
• Position requires the ability to manage frequent interruptions and shifting priorities while maintaining accuracy.
• Occasional travel to client locations may be required based on business needs.

Schedule: Monday–Friday; additional availability may be required based on client and staffing needs

COMPENSATION

Annual Salary: $50,000 – $55,000
