• Build and maintain diverse talent pipelines for high-volume and hard-to-fill field roles using job boards, social media, trade associations, technical schools, military outreach, employee referrals, and community partnerships.
• Represent Oncourse Home Solutions at job fairs, trade events, technical colleges, veteran organizations, and workforce development programs.
• Maintain the preferred vendor list and escalation paths for surge and seasonal hiring needs.
