Are you passionate about connecting great talent with great opportunities? Do you thrive in fast-paced environments and love the challenge of finding the perfect fit - fast? If so, we want you on our team.

As a Talent Acquisition (TA) Specialist, you won't just fill roles - you'll help shape the future of our organization by identifying, attracting, and engaging top talent across all functions. This is more than a sourcing role. You'll partner closely with the business, build strategic hiring campaigns, and play a key part in elevating our employer brand in the market. Speed, focus, and flexibility are critical. We need someone who can fill high-volume roles quickly and efficiently without sacrificing candidate quality or experience.

What You'll Do

• Collaborate with business leaders and hiring managers to understand talent needs and translate them into effective, fast-moving sourcing strategies
• Lead talent attraction efforts through creative sourcing, employer branding, and marketing initiatives
• Drive candidate engagement through compelling outreach and a smooth, high-touch candidate experience
• Manage and maintain accurate candidate data in real time within internal staffing systems
• Own and drive our Employee Referral Program and vendor management, ensuring optimal performance and ROI
• Partner on external branding, events, and marketing campaigns to strengthen our talent pipeline
• Respond quickly to shifting hiring needs and volume spikes - urgency is key
• Align closely with leadership and departmental goals, taking direction constructively and adjusting priorities to meet evolving business needs
• Be a collaborative force within the TA team - sharing knowledge, supporting peers, and celebrating wins together

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's Degree in Human Resources, Business, Marketing, Psychology, or a related field
• 2+ years of experience in recruitment sourcing, preferably in high-volume or fast-paced hiring environments
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple open roles at once - with speed and precision
• Proficiency in Google Workspace and Microsoft Office tools
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• Excellent organizational and data management capabilities
• Resilience and "thick skin" - able to take feedback, manage pressure, and stay solution-focused
• Highly adaptable and calm in the face of sudden changes or urgent hiring needs

Preferred Experience & Skills

• Experience with Workday or similar ATS platforms
• High-volume recruitment, especially for front-line or customer-facing roles
• Strong marketing mindset and social media savvy
• Event coordination and candidate engagement experience
• Strong influencing and stakeholder management abilities

You’ll Thrive in This Role If You Are...

• Confident, and solution-oriented
• Comfortable managing tight deadlines and multiple urgent requests
• Thick-skinned, coachable, and open to direction
• Agile and flexible - can pivot quickly when priorities shift
• Detail-oriented and highly organized
• Emotionally intelligent with strong interpersonal and negotiation skills
• Passionate about delivering a great candidate and hiring manager experience
• A team player with high integrity, trustworthiness, and a strong work ethic

Why Join Us?

You'll be part of a forward-thinking, inclusive team that values innovation, collaboration, and results. We're not just hiring - you'll be part of the strategy, the voice, and the experience that shapes how top talent experiences our brand.
