• Keep recruiting on track. Maintain accurate records that support organized, consistent, and compliant hiring practices.

• Can independently manage multiple priorities while knowing when to collaborate, escalate, or recommend a different approach.
• Are curious, data-minded, organized, adaptable, and always looking for ways to make recruiting better.

What You’ll Bring

• A bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Management, Organizational Leadership, or a related field.
• At least three years of progressive talent acquisition, recruiting, or Human Resources experience, including full-cycle recruiting; Professional in Human Resources (PHR) certification preferred.

• Advanced communication, presentation, networking, relationship-building, and organizational skills, with the ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and make recommendations based on recruiting needs and results.
• Working knowledge of employment laws and requirements related to recruiting and hiring.
• Experience developing, coordinating, and maintaining internship, early-career, college recruiting, or workforce-development programs and partnerships.
• Ability to travel as needed for recruiting events, career fairs, educational partnerships, and company locations.
