Job description

Manufacturing Recruiter (Salaried & Hourly) – Build Talent for a High-Growth Operation

📍 Near Woodridge, IL (Onsite)

💼 Full-Time | High-Impact Talent Acquisition

💰 $90K–$120K + Quarterly Incentive

🏭 350–450 employee advanced manufacturing environment

Why This Role Matters

This isn’t a seat-filler recruiting job. This is a frontline talent-building role inside a fast-scaling, high-performance manufacturing operation—the kind of environment where the right hires change everything.

You’ll own recruiting across both salaried and hourly manufacturing functions, from engineers and supervisors to skilled trades and key plant operators. If you love understanding how a production ecosystem fits together and enjoy the impact of hiring the right people at the right time, this is your arena.

This role is perfect for someone who builds longevity—not someone who hops every 18 months. You’ll shape the talent foundation of a plant that’s growing, maturing, and investing heavily in people, systems, and innovation.

What You’ll Own

Full-Cycle Talent Acquisition

• Recruit across multiple manufacturing disciplines—engineering, operations leadership, maintenance, production talent, and skilled roles.

• Run a tight, professional search process that reflects the standards of a world-class manufacturer.

• Build strong pipelines for critical roles before the need becomes urgent.

Partnership with Plant Leadership

• Sit at the table with supervisors, managers, and directors to understand real workforce requirements—not just job descriptions.

• Influence hiring decisions with data, talent insights, and a sense of organizational trajectory.

Salaried & Hourly Mastery

• Salaried recruiting → engineers, analysts, supply chain, operations, finance, and frontline leadership.

• Hourly recruiting → high-volume production, assembly, logistics, and plant technical roles.

Build Culture Through Hiring

• Bring in people who stay—those who want craftsmanship, pride in work, team belonging, and long‑term growth.

• Keep the job‑hoppers and résumé tourists out of the pipeline with selective, standards‑forward screening.

Data, Process & Continuous Improvement

• Track hiring metrics like a business athlete—time‑to‑fill, quality‑of‑hire, retention indicators.

• Improve systems, workflows, interview structure, and candidate experience.

Who You Are

• 3–7 years of experience recruiting in manufacturing, industrial, or engineering‑driven environments
• Strong foundation in salaried AND hourly recruiting
• Talent instincts that come from real practice, not scripts
• Confident, polished communicator who elevates every interaction
• Someone who understands plant culture, frontline challenges, and workforce dynamics
• Highly organized, resilient, and able to handle shifting priorities without losing precision
• Comfortable onsite in a plant environment—present, visible, connected
• Values matter to you: consistency, professionalism, craftsmanship, and long‑term fit

If you’ve built teams—not just filled reqs—you’ll thrive here.

If you bounce every year, this is not your role.

Compensation & Structure

• Base salary: $90K–$120K depending on experience
• Quarterly incentive plan
• Full suite of benefits
• Tuition reimbursement
• Health club membership program
• Paid vacation
• 401(k) with profit sharing
• Work environment: clean, modern, climate‑controlled, and built for efficiency
