This hands-on, strategic leader will build scalable processes, partner with executives, coach managers, and own data-driven recruiting metrics to improve time-to-fill and quality of hire.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of progressive recruiting experience, including experience leading recruiting strategy.
• Experience recruiting across a mix of hourly and salaried populations, ideally including manufacturing, consumer products, ecommerce, distribution, warehouse operations, or multi-site business environments.
• Demonstrated ability to build or improve recruiting infrastructure and processes in a growing, changing, or multi-brand business.

Responsibilities

• Own the company's end-to-end recruiting strategy for corporate, operations, ecommerce, warehouse, customer service, marketing, and leadership roles.
• Build and manage a repeatable, scalable hiring process — job descriptions, interview structure, manager intake, candidate experience, offer approvals, and recruiting metrics.
• Partner with leaders across the business to forecast hiring needs, identify talent gaps, and build proactive pipelines rather than reactive, one-off searches.
• Reduce time-to-fill and improve quality-of-hire through better sourcing, interview design, and process discipline.
• Manage requisition load directly and/or oversee recruiters, coordinators, or agency relationships as hiring volume requires.
• Develop sourcing strategies for both hourly/warehouse populations and salaried corporate, ecommerce, and leadership roles.
• Elevate candidate experience across the funnel — communication, speed, interview logistics, and offer process.
• Strengthen the company's employer brand and reputation in the markets where it hires.
• Coach hiring managers and senior leaders on interviewing, role scoping, candidate evaluation, and making sound hiring decisions.
• Act as a strategic advisor to executives on org design and headcount needs as they relate to hiring.
• Support succession and internal-mobility conversations where they intersect with recruiting needs.
• Own recruiting data and reporting — pipeline health, time-to-fill, source effectiveness, offer-acceptance rates, and cost-per-hire — so leadership has real visibility into hiring performance.
• Partner with HR, finance, and operations on headcount planning, budgeting, and workforce forecasting.
• Evaluate and improve ATS/recruiting systems, workflows, and vendor relationships (agencies, job boards, sourcing tools).
• Ensure recruiting practices align with compliance requirements (EEO, wage/hour classification at hire, documentation standards), partnering with HR/legal as needed.
