Raleigh-Durham listeners scanning the job market this week are stepping into one of the liveliest hiring snapshots the Triangle has seen in months, with fresh openings ranging from county government and healthcare to hospitality, logistics, and entry-level leadership.
Durham County Government’s own careers site shows a wave of new public sector opportunities posted over the last few days. As of the weekend, Durham County is actively hiring multiple Telecommunicators for 911 operations, several Detention Officer Cadets and Certified Detention Officers, and BLET Deputy Sheriff Cadets, all posted December 14 and aimed at listeners interested in law enforcement careers and paid training pipelines. The same site highlights a new Senior Human Resources Analyst role, along with human services positions such as Human Services Clinical Counselor and Clinical Social Worker roles posted December 13, signaling steady demand for professionals who blend people skills with regulatory and clinical expertise. Fire Inspector II, a Senior HVAC Technician, and a Strategy and Data Analytics Manager round out the latest technical and operational postings, reflecting how county government is recruiting everyone from trades talent to data-savvy strategists.
On the private side, Indeed’s Raleigh-Durham listings reveal tens of thousands of openings, but several fresh roles stand out from the past few days. A new posting for Restaurant Server at Flavor Hills Durham Restaurant and Bar in downtown Durham invites listeners drawn to hospitality, with tipped full-time shifts, paid training, employee discounts, and a flexible schedule. Also in Durham, Public Storage is advertising a Customer Service – Self Storage Manager role, emphasizing customer interaction, use of a personal vehicle to move between locations, and benefits such as health insurance, 401(k) matching, and paid time off, a match for those who like autonomy and face-to-face service work.
Listeners interested in flexible or hybrid knowledge work will notice new postings such as Remote Part-Time Writer – AI Trainer with Outlier AI, open to North Carolina residents and paying hourly for those who can craft complex prompts and critique AI-generated content. That role points to Raleigh-Durham’s growing niche in AI and tech-adjacent work that can be done from home while still tapping the region’s talent pool.
For those who prefer hands-on roles, Indeed’s newest Raleigh-area warehouse and production listings showcase how logistics and light industrial employers are hiring ahead of the new year. McGrath Electric in Raleigh is seeking a Warehouse Associate at 18 to 22 dollars an hour, with a flexible schedule and 401(k) matching for listeners who are organized, comfortable with shipping and receiving, and ready to keep materials flowing. In Durham, LCI is posting for a part-time Handler I, Material, Monday through Friday with benefits like 401(k) matching, life insurance, and an employee assistance program, illustrating that even part-time roles in the region can carry robust benefits.
Staffing firms are amplifying this momentum. Express Employment Professionals’ Raleigh East office lists fresh openings dated December 10, including Solderer, Cook, CNC Machine Operator, and Maintenance positions, all geared toward listeners who want immediate, resume-building experience with a path to full-time work. Randstad’s Durham page shows a mix of temporary and permanent industrial, office, and professional roles posted and refreshed in recent days, giving job seekers a curated path into everything from production lines to back-office support.
All of this sits on top of a deep baseline of demand. Indeed notes tens of thousands of active postings in Raleigh-Durham, spanning everything from Board Certified Behavior Analysts and Clinical Social Workers to stockers, pilots, and flight attendants, confirming that the region is pulling in talent across education levels and industries.
For listeners, the message in this week’s postings is clear. Public agencies are hiring for stability and service, hospitality and retail are staffing up with flexible schedules, logistics and skilled trades are chasing reliable hands, and remote-friendly employers are tapping the Triangle’s brainpower. Whether a listener wants a badge and uniform, a headset and CRM, a serving tray, a forklift, or a laptop and Wi‑Fi connection, the last seven days of job posts in Raleigh-Durham show a market ready to talk.
