• Screen candidates, coordinate interviews, extend offers and help create a strong candidate experience from first contact through start date.
• Build talent pipelines before positions become urgent.
• Develop relationships with technical schools, colleges, workforce organizations and other community partners.
• Participate in job fairs, hiring events and other creative recruiting initiatives.
• Track recruiting activity and results and use data to continuously improve how we attract talent.
• Build relationships with schools, trade programs, workforce development organizations and community groups.
• Identify opportunities for RISE employees and leaders to participate in community events and volunteer activities.
• Represent RISE at career fairs, community events and local partnerships.
• Develop creative ways to introduce people to careers in modular manufacturing and construction.
• Help strengthen RISE's employment brand throughout southern Minnesota and the Twin Cities.
• Recruiting people is only part of the job. We want them to feel connected once they're here.
• You'll partner with the People Operations team and leaders to:
• Develop employee engagement activities and events.
• Help strengthen recognition programs and employee appreciation efforts.
• Create opportunities for employees across departments and shifts to connect.
• Gather employee feedback and help turn good ideas into action.
• Support new-hire engagement and early-tenure retention initiatives.
