WHO WE ARE

Swickard Auto Group is a hospitality company that happens to sell and service cars. We believe the best guest experiences start with the best employee experiences. That's why we've grown to 40+ rooftops across the West Coast, Alaska, and Hawaii while maintaining a culture built on one simple idea: do right by people, every time.

Our Talent Acquisition function supports a 3,000-employee, 40+ rooftop organization that continues to grow through acquisition and organic expansion.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Serve as the primary owner of proactive candidate sourcing for General Manager, Director-level and above roles, building and continuously refreshing talent pipelines across corporate and dealership leadership positions


• Design and execute multi-channel sourcing strategies, including direct outreach and leveraging sourcing platforms, industry associations, referrals, and market mapping, to identify passive as well as active leadership candidates

• Travel to dealership locations across Swickard's markets as needed to support in-person interviews, market visits, and hiring manager partnership

• Deep expertise in proactive sourcing techniques, sourcing platforms, market mapping, and passive candidate engagement -- paired with the business acumen to advise senior leadership on talent strategy and market trends


• Excellent relationship-building, negotiation, and communication skills, with the ability to engage and influence senior executives and passive candidates alike


• High level of discretion, sound judgment, and a proactive, results-oriented approach to closing top talent in a competitive market

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive compensation -- pay range to be confirmed


• Medical, dental, and vision insurance


• Life insurance and supplemental coverage options


• Paid time off and paid holidays


• Career growth within a growing Talent Acquisition function at a rapidly expanding multi-state organization
