• Use ATS automations (Ashby) and local platforms (Indeed, Facebook) to quickly source qualified local talent.

• Use a fast, structured interview process that prioritizes safety awareness, teamwork, and reliability.

• Manage weekly high-volume offers, track metrics, and oversee background checks and drug screenings.

What you'll bring:

• 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with at least 1 year dedicated to high-volume hourly hiring within manufacturing, automotive, warehousing, or intensive industrial environments.

• A proactive, "get-it-done" attitude to handle shifting targets and schedule disruptions calmly.

• Ability to build rapport with everyone from factory floor technicians to plant executives.

• A commitment to clean ATS data to accurately track hiring metrics (Time-to-Hire, passthrough rates).
