Job description

We design and hand-build premium off-grid camper vans that turn “someday” into a road trip this weekend, selling direct so adventure isn't taxed by dealer markups. We believe great products come from real-world testing and honest craftsmanship — and whether you're behind the build or behind the scenes, everyone here plays a part in getting people out the door and onto the road.

The Role

As our Talent Acquisition Specialist, you're Geotrek's dedicated recruiting engine — the second role on our People Operations team, and a true business partner to the hiring managers you work with, not just a process administrator. For every open role, you'll partner directly with the hiring manager to define that role's hiring strategy — sourcing approach, candidate profile, and interview plan — and own the outcome, balancing quality of hire with time-to-fill. You’ll also broaden your HR experience, provide support across other HR programs and processes.

You’ll report to our Head of People Operations, who sets overall recruiting and onboarding strategy. You'll own day-to-day execution: building pipelines, running the candidate and interview process, and delivering a consistent, well-run onboarding experience for every new hire.

What You’ll Do

• Partner directly with hiring managers to define the hiring strategy for each open role — sourcing approach, candidate profile, and interview plan — and own getting it right
• Source and build candidate pipelines across open and anticipated roles — production, R&D, business operations, and more — through job boards, referrals, networking, and creative outreach
• Screen candidates and run the interview process end to end: scheduling, communication, panel coordination, and feedback, keeping every candidate moving without unnecessary delay
• Own new-hire onboarding from offer acceptance through the first weeks on the job, so every new employee starts well
• Help build Geotrek's employer brand alongside Head of People Ops and Marketing, including a clear employee value proposition and a strong candidate experience
• Track recruiting metrics — pipeline health, time-to-fill, source effectiveness — and support general HR tasks like payroll data entry, personnel files, and benefits/leave administration as time allows

What You Bring

• 3+ years as an in-house recruiter, with experience sourcing for manufacturing, production, or other on-site operational roles, as well as business support positions
• A track record of building and managing candidate pipelines across multiple open roles at once, without sacrificing quality or missing deadlines
• Experience running or supporting new-hire onboarding, and comfort with an applicant tracking system (ATS) or candidate tracking tool
• Working knowledge of basic employment law as it relates to recruiting (EEO, non-discriminatory screening practices)
• A start-up mindset — you build lightweight processes, iterate quickly, wear multiple hats, and take ownership without waiting to be told
• You thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous, fast-changing environment — adaptable, growth-minded, and able to hold a high bar through shifting priorities

Work Environment & Physical Demands

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this role, consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act.

This is primarily a desk-based role — extended computer, phone, and video-call use for sourcing, screening, and interview coordination — with occasional time on the production floor for new-hire tours and first-day orientation (standard shop PPE applies while there). You'll manage a high volume of concurrent candidates and open roles, exercise sound judgment screening and escalating sensitive situations, and maintain strict confidentiality handling candidate and employee data.

Hiring Range:

$35h - $40/hr.

Benefits:

• 401(k) with 4% match
• health insurance reimbursement program
• monthly wellness reimbursement

Schedule:

Full-time, on-site at Geotrek HQ, Boulder, CO; occasional pre-scheduled weekend availability; travel 1-3x/year.
