Job description

Field Workforce Manager - Remote (Preferred locations: Houston/Katy TX, Pittsburgh PA, or Athens GA)

Franklin Retail Solutions (FRS) is hiring a hands‑on, strategic recruiter to build and scale a network of field representatives across the country. This is not a "post and wait" recruiting role; this is an opportunity to own the process, solve market gaps, and directly impact business growth.

If you're someone who loves the challenge of finding the right candidate, testing creative sourcing channels, and creating a competitive edge through recruiting, this role is for you.

What You'll Own

You’ll manage the full recruiting lifecycle while driving smarter coverage across priority markets:

• Full-cycle recruiting: source, screen, interview, and onboard field reps, primarily 1099 contractmerchandisers
• Coverage strategy: identify gaps, prioritize markets, and solve for hard‑to‑fill territories
• Creative sourcing: go beyond traditional job boards; tap into referrals, local networks, niche platforms, and new channels
• Candidate experience: timely, clear, and consistent communication that converts candidates to contract hires
• Data & optimization: track funnel performance, improve conversion, and refine strategy

The candidate chosen for this role will build a scalable recruiting engine that improves coverage, quality, and retention.

How You'll Make an Impact

• Increase coverage in high‑priority and historically hard‑to‑staff markets
• Accelerate the path from candidate interest to active field rep
• Launch and scale new sourcing channels that drive higher‑quality candidates
• Strengthen referral pipelines and field engagement
• Improve early rep success, activity, and retention

What You Bring

• Experience recruiting for field, retail, or gig workforces
• A proactive, scrappy approach to sourcing and pipeline creation
• Strong judgment, communication, and follow‑through
• Ability to manage multiple markets and shifting priorities

Why This Role is Different

This role sits at the center of Franklin’s growth. Your work directly determines where we can operate, which clients we can support, and how quickly we scale.

You’ll have the autonomy to test ideas, challenge assumptions, and build something better by identifying and scaling creative sourcing strategies.
