Role summary

The OFJCC is seeking an experienced HR professional to serve as a Talent & Employee Experience Specialist. This role bridges talent acquisition and employee experience, focusing on building and running the recruiting engine, creating sustainable talent pipelines, and shaping a positive employee experience through onboarding, recognition, and communication. The specialist will leverage data, AI, and automation to streamline processes, improve the employee lifecycle, and build smarter systems. Key responsibilities include sourcing candidates, developing talent pipelines, designing employee engagement initiatives, and partnering with hiring managers. A track record in recruiting, employee experience design, data analysis, and HR systems is essential.

Why This Role Is Different
At the OFJCC, we believe HR is at the heart of the organization.
We want to work with great people, create employee experiences that make team members feel valued and appreciated and build smarter systems along the way.
This role is a bridge between talent acquisition and employee experiences. We are looking for an experienced HR professional who has a passion for recruiting and building pipelines, thrives on creating memorable employee experiences and has the drive to make meaningful system changes.
We do not want someone who simply posts jobs and processes applicants. We want someone who turns recruiting challenges into better hiring systems. 

What You’ll Own

  • Build and run the recruiting engine from sourcing through offer, with a strong focus on candidate quality, speed and experience.
  • Create sustainable talent pipelines through schools, job boards, social media, community outreach, professional networks, referral and other recruiting partnerships.
  • Shape the employee experience through onboarding, orientation, recognition programs, engagement and communications that strengthen connection and retention.
  • Use recruiting and engagement data to make decisions, understand patterns and focus efforts that have the greatest impact.
  • Use AI, automation and technology to streamline processes and build smarter, more scalable systems while staying on top of current recruiting and engagement trends.
  • Continuously improve the employee lifecycle, looking for ways to make every stage more thoughtful, efficient, and meaningful.
You’ll Thrive Here if…
  • You think beyond job postings. You build and maintain talent pipelines, relationships and recruiting partnerships before there is an opening.
  • You love the hunt for great talent. You enjoy sourcing, networking and landing top candidates.
  • You think beyond engagement scores. You want to build a workplace where people create community.
  • You know great employee experiences are built intentionally. Events matter, but so do communication, recognition, growth, trust and connection.
  • You think in systems. You spot patterns and fix what isn’t working.
  • AI and automation are already part of how you solve problems. You use technology to improve candidate and employee experiences.
  • You are a problem solver. You like owning the process from idea to implementation, while keeping the user experience front and center.

What You Bring
  • 3-6 years of progressive HR or talent experience, with meaningful ownership of recruiting and employee experience work.
  • A track record of building talent pipelines, improving hiring processes and solving hard-to-fill recruiting challenges.
  • Strong consultative partnership skills with hiring managers, including the ability to challenge assumptions and shape better hiring decisions.
  • Experience designing or improving employee experience initiatives that strengthen connection, engagement and retention.
  • The ability to use data and recruiting insights to identify patterns, improve outcomes and guide decisions.
  • Previous experience with 3rd party platforms, including ATS, HRIS, sourcing tools and digital recruiting platforms.
  • Demonstrated use of AI and automation to redesign work, drive efficiency and create a better candidate/employee experience.
  • Strong business judgement, influence and execution skills, with the ability to take ideas and implement solutions.
  • SHRM or HRCI certification is a plus.
