Job Description

We are seeking a high-energy, results-driven Recruiter to lead our sourcing and placement efforts for skilled hourly professionals . This role focuses on the backbone of the manufacturing industry—finding the specialized technicians, operators, and craftsmen who keep production lines moving. You will be responsible for the full recruitment lifecycle, from identifying talent in competitive markets to managing the offer process for high-demand technical roles.

Key Responsibilities Targeted Sourcing:

Proactively identify and engage "passive" hourly candidates through specialized job boards, social media, local vocational networks, and community outreach.

Technical Vetting:

Conduct initial screenings to evaluate technical competencies in areas such as CNC programming, industrial maintenance, welding (GMAW/GTAW), and electrical systems.

Pipeline Management:

Maintain a consistent "bench" of qualified talent to ensure rapid fulfillment of high-priority requisitions.

Industry Partnership:

Collaborate with hiring managers to understand specific plant floor requirements, shift nuances, and the unique cultural fit of different manufacturing environments.

Candidate Experience:

Act as a brand ambassador, guiding candidates through the interview process and providing clear, timely feedback.

Required Qualifications Experience:

2+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, specifically focused on hourly technical roles within the manufacturing, industrial, or construction sectors.

Technical Literacy:

Ability to read job descriptions and understand the difference between specific certifications (e.g., Journeyman status, AWS certifications, or PLC troubleshooting skills).

Sourcing Prowess:

Proven track record of using creative methods to find talent beyond traditional resume databases.

Communication:

Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build rapport with both executive leadership and plant-floor personnel.

Adaptability:

Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities and high-volume hiring needs.

Pay:

$22.00 - $27.00 per hour
