About Us

GFL is one of the largest diversified environmental services companies in North America, recognized by our signature fleet of bright green trucks. One of the keys to our success lies in the diversity of our services and our ability to deliver robust integrated solutions. By providing safe, accessible, and cost-effective solutions, we allow our customers and the communities we serve to be Green For Life.

The Role

In this dynamic role, you won't be tied to just one market. Instead, you will serve as our internal TA "strike team," stepping in country-wide to support various districts on their hardest-to-fill roles. From headhunting skilled trades (like mechanics) to sourcing leadership and management talent, you will partner closely with local Operations Managers and District Directors across US to diagnose hiring pain points. You understand that recruitment directly drives operations, and you possess the relationship-building skills to quickly earn trust with diverse teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Agile Full-Cycle Recruitment: Lead end-to-end recruitment across different US regions, shifting focus rapidly based on the business's highest-priority vacancies.
• Strategic Headhunting: Proactively source a diverse portfolio of roles, from frontline skilled trades (mechanics, drivers) to high-level regional management positions.
• Hiring Manager Partnership: Act as a consultative advisor to district leadership, quickly identifying local hiring pain points and building trust remotely.
• Operational Alignment: Connect talent acquisition strategy directly to daily operational needs, ensuring local management feels fully supported.
• Pipeline & Brand Building: Utilize advanced sourcing tools and networks to build sustainable talent pipelines for niche, critical roles across the country.
• Data-Driven Insights: Maintain ATS integrity (Workday) and utilize market intelligence to advise leadership on regional hiring trends.

What We’re Looking For

• Location: Based out of our office in either Raliegh, San Antonio or Dallas, with the ability to manage recruitment across multiple US time zones.
• Experience: 5+ years of full-life-cycle recruitment experience, with a proven track record of headhunting both skilled trades and management roles.
• Adaptability: A natural relationship-builder who thrives in a floating capacity and easily adapts to various regional dynamics.
• Industry Savvy: Experience in industrial, logistics, blue-collar, or waste management sectors where recruitment directly impacts operational success.
• Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency with modern ATS platforms (Workday preferred) and LinkedIn Recruiter.
• Travel Flexibility: Willingness to support regional teams remotely, with occasional travel as required.

What We Offer

• Health: 4 medical plan options including a HSA with employer contribution & match program, dental, and vision coverage.
• Wellness: Employee Assistance Program with free counseling services, Paid time off.
• Financial: 401(k) with an employer match and competitive wages.
• Culture: Growth opportunities and continuous learning opportunities.

Join us and become part of "Team Green" at GFL Environmental.
