Here’s why you’ll love being part of the Tribe:

Unlimited Growth

With our rapid expansion, opportunities are everywhere. We invest in our people, promote from within, and give you the tools to level up your career faster than ever.

Position Overview

We are looking for a high-energy, results-driven Talent Acquisition Partner to own the full-cycle recruitment process across our growing franchise of Crunch Fitness- Undefeated Tribe locations. This is a high-volume role — you will be filling a large number of positions across multiple clubs simultaneously, and you'll be doing it with urgency, consistency, and a relentless commitment to candidate quality.

This is not a reactive recruiting role. You won't just post jobs and wait. You will proactively source A players across job boards, social media, college campuses, community events, and referral networks — building pipelines before we need them and moving fast when we do. You'll be a trusted partner to Market Leaders and Managing Partners, giving them qualified, motivated candidates and freeing them up to focus on running their clubs.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, multi-location environment, has a hunter mentality when it comes to sourcing, and understands that in high-volume recruitment, speed and quality are not opposites — they're the standard.

What You’ll Do

• Own full-cycle recruitment for assigned locations — from job posting and sourcing through offer acceptance and pre-hire onboarding handoff.
• Proactively source candidates across Indeed, LinkedIn, and other platforms — don't wait for applicants to find you.
• Build and maintain active talent pipelines for leadership roles including Managing Partners, Managing Partners in Training, Asst General Managers, Personal Training Managers, and Group Fitness Coordinators..
• Screen and prequalify applicants quickly and consistently, using Topgrading principles and structured behavioral questions to assess fit before passing to hiring managers.
• Coordinate and schedule interviews directly on hiring managers' calendars, leveraging Paradox and other scheduling tools to eliminate back-and-forth.
• Partner closely with General Managers and Managing Partners to understand their team needs, hiring timelines, and what great looks like for each role.
• Attend and represent Crunch Fitness at local job fairs, community events, college career fairs, and hiring events to build brand awareness and attract talent.
• Execute local store marketing (LSM) recruiting efforts — distributing flyers, posting at community boards, and building relationships with schools, apartments, and local businesses within the trade area.
• Track and manage your requisition load with urgency — maintaining up-to-date pipeline status, candidate notes, and activity logs in the ATS.
• Deliver a candidate experience that reflects our brand — responsive, warm, and professional from first contact to first day.

What Success Looks Like

• You complete upwards of 25 prescreens per week to keep reqs moving and finding A players.
• Open leadership roles are filled quickly and efficiently — hiring managers are never stuck short-staffed because recruiting was the bottleneck.
• Your pipelines are always warm — you're not starting from zero every time a position opens.
• Hiring managers trust your prescreen. When you pass a candidate, they know it's worth their time.
• Candidates have a great experience and feel respected throughout the process
• Time-to-fill is consistently at or below target across your assigned locations.
• Your offer acceptance rate is high because you've built genuine relationships with candidates and sold the opportunity throughout the process.
• You are a known presence in your markets — you have strong relationships with leadership rooted in trust and respect
• New hires are A players. The people you place are the right people.

About You

• You are a natural connector — you love meeting people, building relationships, and matching the right person to the right opportunity.
• You have a hunter mentality. You don't wait for candidates to come to you. You go find them — on LinkedIn, at events, through referrals, social media.
• You are organized and can manage a high requisition load without letting things slip. You know where every candidate stands at all times.
• You move fast without sacrificing quality. You understand that in high-volume recruiting, urgency is part of the job description.
• You communicate proactively. Hiring managers always know what's in the pipeline, and candidates always know where they stand.
• You are resilient and adaptable. Priorities shift, roles change, and sometimes great candidates take other offers — you adjust and keep moving.
• You take pride in the candidate experience. Every interaction with your candidates reflects the Crunch brand — energetic, welcoming, and real.
• You are coachable and process-driven. You follow the system, use the tools, and are always looking for ways to get better

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement strategic initiatives for recruiting diverse talent across a multi-site organization, ensuring every location has access to a strong, qualified candidate pool.
• Partner with company leaders to forecast staffing needs and develop proactive plans for key hiring initiatives — getting ahead of openings before they become urgent.
• Manage the full-cycle recruiting process across club leadership in your region— from sourcing and screening through offer extension and onboarding handoff.
• Work with hiring managers and interview teams to ensure job requirements and expectations are clearly defined — and that every candidate is evaluated against consistent, role-appropriate criteria.
• Develop strong relationships with hiring managers, business leaders, and HR to serve as a trusted recruiting partner — not just a transactional resource.
• Maximize the effectiveness of the recruiting process by staying close to hiring managers, providing real-time pipeline updates, and eliminating friction at every stage.
• Track and report key staffing metrics — including time-to-fill, offer acceptance rate, pipeline conversion, and requisition volume — designed to measure performance and predict future hiring needs.
• Maintain regular follow-up with hiring managers and candidates throughout the process to ensure timelines are met and no one is left in the dark.
• Actively participate in all staffing-related activities and engage in cross-functional projects that support broader organizational goals.
• Execute proactive sourcing across job boards (Indeed, LinkedIn), social media, referral programs, campus partnerships, and community events to build warm pipelines before roles open.
• Utilize the ATS to manage candidate flow, schedule interviews, send automated communications, and maintain clean, accurate pipeline data in real time.
• Support employer brand initiatives — contributing content, sharing job posts, and representing Crunch Fitness as a great place to work in every candidate interaction.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, Communications, or a related field required
• 5+ years of experience in a full life cycle recruiting environment, including management of multiple high-volume roles simultaneously.
• Proven track record of proactive sourcing — you can point to specific channels, strategies, and measurable results beyond job board posting.
• Demonstrated ability to partner with and influence business leaders and hiring managers across multiple locations or business units.
• Experience developing and executing Employment Marketing Strategies to attract both active and passive candidates.
• Strong interviewing and candidate assessment skills — able to run structured, topgrading prescreens with consistency and confidence.
• Proficiency with an ATS and recruiting platforms such as Indeed, LinkedIn Recruiter, ZipRecruiter, or equivalent tools.
• Strong analytical skills — comfortable tracking, interpreting, and reporting on key recruiting metrics to drive decisions.
• Excellent communication skills — written, verbal, and in-person — with the ability to build trust quickly with both candidates and internal stakeholders.
• Ability to manage competing priorities with urgency, adapting quickly to shifting timelines, new openings, and changing business needs..
