Job Description

Build a Recruiting Function. Shape a Workforce. Make an Impact.

The American Society of Employers has been retained by the historic Detroit Athletic Club to conduct a search for a Talent Acquisition Manager.

Founded in 1887, the Detroit Athletic Club (often referred to as the “DAC”) is one of the oldest and most-respected private athletic and social clubs in the U.S. The DAC has earned the distinction of being named the #1 Athletic Club in the country, and a Platinum Club of America by the Club Leaders Forum.

We are looking for a hands‑on recruiting leader who will immerse themselves in the organization, build strong partnerships with department leaders, and create innovative strategies to attract top talent in a highly competitive hospitality market.

Success in this role requires a self‑starter who thrives on relationship building, enjoys being visible throughout the organization, and isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo to improve results.

If you’re a strategic thinker, a natural connector, and a recruiter who loves being onsite and engaged with the business, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Manage full‑cycle recruiting for both hourly and salaried positions.

• Source, screen, interview, and present qualified candidates to hiring managers.

• Extend offers and guide candidates through pre‑employment requirements and onboarding.

• Ensure a positive and professional candidate experience from first contact through orientation.

• Meet regularly with department leaders to understand staffing needs and workforce challenges.

• Provide ongoing communication regarding recruiting activity, candidate pipelines, and market conditions.

• Serve as a trusted advisor on talent acquisition strategies and workforce planning.

• Evaluate current recruiting practices and identify opportunities for improvement.

• Develop creative sourcing strategies to attract talent in a competitive hospitality environment.

• Build talent pipelines through relationships with colleges, culinary schools, trade schools, workforce organizations, and community partners.

• Plan and participate in job fairs, hiring events, and workforce development initiatives.

• Support and continuously improve onboarding and new hire orientation programs.

• Collaborate with leadership to create a welcoming and engaging onboarding experience.

• Maintain accurate applicant tracking records and hiring documentation.

What We’re Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field.

• 5 years of talent acquisition or full‑cycle recruiting experience.

• Experience recruiting both hourly and salaried employees.

• Experience working in a unionized environment.

• Strong relationship‑building, communication, and organizational skills.

• Experience with Paycom or similar Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).

• Hospitality, restaurant, hotel, private club, food service, or service industry recruiting experience.

• Proven success developing creative recruiting strategies and talent pipelines.

Who Will Thrive Here?

We’re looking for someone who:

• Takes ownership of area of responsibility
• Thinks outside the box when traditional recruiting methods aren’t producing results.
• Enjoys being visible, building relationships, and understanding the business firsthand.
• Is comfortable working directly with managers at all levels
• Brings energy, urgency, and accountability to the recruiting process
• Wants to build and improve programs, not simply maintain them

Work Environment

This position is fully onsite at the Detroit Athletic Club in Detroit, Michigan. Hours: 9am-5pm. The role requires regular interaction with departments throughout the Club and active participation in recruiting events, manager meetings, and onboarding activities.
