Job Description Role and Responsibilities

Direct Labor Recruitment Execute weekly hiring plans for operators, material handlers, technicians and other production-support roles across approved shifts and ramp phases.

• Facilitate high-volume interview and hiring events, ensuring sufficient recruiter, hiring-manager and site readiness capacity. Maintain candidate pools and contingency lists for hard-to-fill shifts or launch-critical positions.

Source candidates through job boards, referrals, community partnerships, workforce centers, technical schools, hiring events and approved staffing firms. Own requisition tracking, outreach, application review, job-related screening, interview scheduling and candidate follow-up in the applicant tracking system.

Selection and Candidate Experience Use consistent, job-related screening criteria and structured interview guides; document decisions and maintain accurate candidate records. Communicate work schedule, job expectations, location, pay information, and approved offer terms accurately and in an accessible manner. Coordinate approved offer issuance and pre-employment steps with HR Operations and service providers, without independently changing compensation or conditions. Work with HR on reasonable-accommodation requests and any escalated candidate concerns while respecting privacy and confidentiality. Provide responsive, respectful communication to candidates, including bilingual communication when appropriate.

Launch Readiness and Operational Partnership Review recruiting demand with Production, Planning, HR and the TA Manager; surface gaps in timing, shifts, candidate yield and market competitiveness. Coordinate candidate handoffs for I-9 verification, any applicable E-Verify process, background screening, drug testing under approved policy, orientation, EHS and training. Monitor early turnover and no-show trends with HRBP and Operations and feed insights into sourcing, realistic job previews and selection practices. Support internal referral and approved talent pipelines while routing immigration or relocation questions to the designated specialists.

Metrics and Process Improvement Maintain weekly funnel reporting for applicants, qualified candidates, interviews, offers, acceptances, starts, and open requisitions. Track time to fill, requisition aging, hiring-event yield, pre-employment drop-off, cost per hire, and early retention; recommend corrective actions. Improve recruiting standard work, ATS data quality, event logistics and agency handoffs as hiring volumes evolve.

Knowledge and Experience

Three or more years of recruitment experience, preferably including high-volume hourly or direct labor hiring in manufacturing, distribution or a similar environment. Practical experience with applicant tracking systems, job boards, hiring events, recruiting funnels and structured candidate screening. Working knowledge of fair and consistent U.S. hiring practices, candidate privacy and compliant background-check and employment-verification handoffs. Ability to organize multiple hiring waves and coordinate efficiently with frontline managers in a fast-moving operation. Clear written and verbal communication in English; Spanish proficiency strongly preferred for the Borderplex labor market. Associate or bachelor's degree in HR, Business or related field preferred; equivalent relevant experience considered. Experience with Workday Recruiting, Excel or Power BI is a plus.

Competencies

Role-specific strengths: high-volume recruiting execution, disciplined follow-through, inclusive interviewing, data accuracy, responsiveness and frontline business partnership.

Measures of Success

Direct labor hiring progress against approved weekly/monthly start plans and shift needs. Qualified-candidate conversion, offer acceptance, hiring-event yield and time-to-fill trends. Candidate responsiveness, accurate ATS records, low no-show/drop-off rates and successful onboarding handoffs.

Authority and Key Relationships

Select approved sourcing activities, organize hiring events and manage assigned requisitions within the TA Manager's plan. Recommend recruiting-channel and process adjustments; elevate staffing constraints, selection concerns or unapproved offer requests. Does not independently approve headcount, pay exceptions, agency contracts, immigration commitments or final hiring decisions.

Key partners:

TA Manager, Operations, Planning, HRBP, HR Operations, Payroll, Training, EHS, Security, IT, staffing agencies, Workforce Solutions Borderplex and education partners.
