Senior Recruiter

Socket Fiber has grown from a small Columbia, MO startup to a trusted fiber internet provider, serving residential and business customers across 21+ counties. What started as a local solution to bring internet access to mid-Missouri has evolved into a fiber-to-the-home network reaching more than 90,000 homes with speeds up to 5 GIGs. With our corporate headquarters still in Columbia, MO, we provide customers with a value-driven, customer centric alternative to the incumbent service providers - because people deserve better. Socket is committed to equal opportunity and will provide reasonable accommodations for applicants with disabilities, as required by the ADA.
