Our strategic growth relies on great talent, and we need a resourceful, curious, and technically minded recruiter to help us find it. That’s where you come in! The Talent Acquisition Specialist plays an important role in ensuring we have the talent needed not only for today, but also for our long-term strategic growth.

Bringing a talent-seeking mindset and curiosity to learn, you will help grow our engineering, technical, manufacturing, and corporate teams in Minnesota, Georgia, and beyond. We don’t view recruiting as a factory assembly line. It is one of our company’s most important and strategic efforts, one that is collaborative and, above all, human. In this role, you’ll help build the teams that are at the forefront of innovating industrial automation.

You’ll use a variety of sourcing strategies including LinkedIn, job boards, networking, referrals, campus partnerships, and creative outreach to identify and engage talent. You know that great recruiting goes beyond matching keywords on a resume. You’ll learn what makes someone successful at PAR and use thoughtful screening and conversation to evaluate skills, experiences, motivations, and alignment with the opportunity.

As a project engineering organization, details and process matter. Your ability to stay organized, manage competing priorities, and adapt as business needs change will help you successfully manage the full-cycle recruiting process. From sourcing and screening through interview coordination, selection, and offer, you’ll help create a smooth and positive experience for candidates and hiring managers alike. Clarity and collaboration is a core part of our company values, and you’ll bring it to the hiring journey through proactive communication, thoughtful planning, and reliable follow-through. You’ll also bring a continuous-improvement mindset, using recruiting data, feedback, and lessons learned to help us strengthen our processes and find better ways to attract and hire great people.
