Responsibilities
- Source, track, and maintain a high volume of candidates without dropping the ball, keeping open lines of communication with stakeholders at every step
- Get into the business and onto the floor to understand the product, the technical roadmap, and the team's manufacturing reality, i.e., takt times, cycle times, throughput, yield, so you can pitch the opportunity credibly to operators
- Translate a missing role into what it costs the line in throughput and revenue and use that to drive urgency and prioritization with hiring managers
- Build deep trust with operations and program leaders through consistency and a strong operating rhythm; influence talent strategy while executing on deliverables
- Develop a sharp understanding of the mission, learn to pitch the team and opportunity, and bring offers across the line, including with candidates who are strong negotiators in their own right
- Track and analyze pipeline and performance data to find areas of opportunity and turn it into a data-driven narrative that builds momentum
- Build recruiting strategies that scale with the company, implementing referrals, process improvements, and automation where they move the needle
- Act as a subject-matter expert in prospecting, information retrieval, data extraction, web-scraping, process automation, and candidate management
- Conduct candidate interviews and anticipate hiring-manager preferences, demonstrated through high interview-to-offer ratios
- Source through LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, Boolean strings, referrals, and SOBO campaigns
- Deliver a consistent, positive experience throughout the process with proactive communication and engagement
