A Staffing Agency That Actually Knows Coins
Recruiting Plug places shop managers, buyers, and sales staff for coin dealers who need people that can grade accurately and build real customer trust, not just work a register. This is part of our broader precious metals industry recruiting work, and like every search we run, it's on a contingency basis, no fee unless you hire.
A Bad Hire at a Coin Counter Is an Expensive Mistake
Retail experience alone does not tell you whether someone can actually grade a coin correctly.
Grading Accuracy Protects Your Margins
A hire who cannot spot a cleaned coin or misjudges condition costs you money on every transaction. We screen for real grading ability before anyone reaches your interview.
Customer Trust Drives Repeat Business
Regular customers keep coming back to staff they trust. We evaluate how candidates build rapport, not just how they close a sale.
Spotting Counterfeits Is Non-Negotiable
Plated fakes and altered coins circulate constantly. Staff who cannot catch them expose your shop to real losses.
Candidates Come From Inside the Industry
We source through the ANA job board and the Greysheet email list, so candidates already understand the trade before we ever bring them to you.

Coin Shop Hiring, Explained
How is this different from generic retail hiring?
A coin shop hire needs to grade accurately, spot counterfeits, and build long-term customer trust. We screen specifically for that, not just retail or cashier experience.
What if a candidate has no formal grading certification?
Certification is not required. We evaluate real, demonstrated grading knowledge and trade experience, often a better predictor of performance on the floor.
How fast can you find a hire?
Timelines vary by role and location, but sourcing through the ANA job board and Greysheet typically moves faster than a generic job posting.
Do I pay anything if I don't hire?
No. Recruiting Plug works on a contingency basis, so there is no fee unless you hire a candidate we bring forward.
