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

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:
