Job description

Job Overview

This Role Is Not For Everyone. It Might Be For You. You follow up before you’re asked. You notice what others miss and you don’t walk past it. You can hold a real conversation with anyone, not because you’re working the room, but because people genuinely feel heard when they talk to you. And you know how to close. You move things forward and you own your decisions.

What You’ll Be Doing

You will lead recruiting in support of the AbilityOne program, a federal initiative creating employment opportunities for individuals with significant disabilities. This is structured, compliance-driven, meaningful work that requires you to hold people, process, and documentation at the same time without dropping any of them.

• Own the full recruiting cycle under AbilityOne and regulated frameworks
• Manage candidate qualifications and compliance documentation with precision
• Communicate proactively and move with urgency without being prompted
• Partner with operations and compliance to ensure every placement is correct and ethical

You Are A Strong Fit If You:

• Have experience in compliance-driven or disability-focused recruiting
• Are known for follow-through, not just initiative
• Make decisions with available information and adjust, you don’t stall
• Take ownership without needing to be managed closely

Why This Work Matters

Every placement creates access to employment for someone who might not have had it otherwise. If that draws you in rather than slows you down, we want to hear from you.

Qualifications

• Minimum 1-2 years of recruiting or HR experience in a compliance-driven, regulated, or social services environment
• Demonstrated ability to manage detailed documentation and follow processes with precision
• Strong interpersonal communication skills with the ability to build rapport across all levels
• Comfortable making independent decisions and managing competing priorities without constant direction
• Proficiency in Paycom or a comparable HRIS system
• Experience with Monday.com or similar project management tools
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record

Preferred Qualifications

• Degree or certification in Human Resources, Social Work, Rehabilitation Services, Disability Studies, or a related field
• Familiarity with the AbilityOne program, SourceAmerica, or disability employment frameworks
• Experience recruiting or working directly with individuals with disabilities
• Knowledge of FLSA, EEOC, and federal compliance standards related to hiring

What We Value Over a Resume

If you don’t check every box but you have a track record of doing hard things carefully, communicating without being asked, and finishing what you start, we still want to hear from you. Experience working alongside or in service of people with disabilities carries real weight here regardless of how you came by it.

Responsibilities

Recruiting and Candidate Management

• Own the full recruiting cycle including sourcing, screening, interviewing, and submitting qualified candidates for open positions
• Prioritize candidates who meet AbilityOne disability eligibility requirements and ensure accurate documentation of qualifications
• Maintain consistent and professional communication with candidates throughout the process, providing clarity and follow-through at every stage
• Conduct structured interviews using established guides and person-centered assessment tools

Compliance and Documentation

• Ensure all recruiting activity aligns with AbilityOne program guidelines, EEOC standards, and applicable federal and state regulations
• Maintain accurate and complete candidate records in Paycom and Monday.com
• Submit weekly updates summarizing sourcing activity, outreach attempts, candidate pipeline status, and any barriers encountered
• Flag compliance concerns proactively before they become problems

Collaboration and Communication

• Partner with HR leadership, operations, and site supervisors to understand staffing needs and priorities
• Communicate proactively and consistently without waiting to be prompted
• Coordinate site visits and supervisor introductions as candidates move through the hiring process
• Support a smooth handoff to HR staff at the point of hire, as onboarding remains the responsibility of internal HR

Other

• Perform additional recruiting and HR support duties as assigned

Benefits

Health and Wellness

• Medical insurance
• Dental and vision coverage
• Company-paid life insurance

Time Away

• Paid time off and vacation
• Paid sick leave
• Paid holidays

Growth and Development

• Professional development and training opportunities tailored to your role and career path

Something Worth Noting

This is mission-driven work inside a growing organization. The people who thrive here are not just looking for a benefits package. They are looking for work that means something, a team that holds itself accountable, and a place where showing up fully is both expected and recognized.

Equal Opportunity

We are an Equal Opportunity/affirmative action employer committed to a workplace free from discrimination and harassment. We select the best-matched individual for each position based upon job-related qualifications, regardless of race, religion, national origin, age, sex, veteran status, disability, or other protected status under state, federal, or local Equal Employment Opportunity Laws.
