About the role

Position Overview: Our client is a leading provider of mission-critical support services to the healthcare industry, operating processing plants across multiple regions of the United States. The Company has grown rapidly through both organic expansion and acquisition, and that growth depends on one capability above all others: the ability to staff plants and routes faster, better, and more cost-effectively than the market. The Talent Acquisition Partner (TAP) is a full-cycle, high-volume recruiter and the front line of the Company’s in-house talent acquisition model. Reporting to the Director of Talent Acquisition, the TAP owns an assigned requisition load of entry-level production positions across assigned plants and shifts and is accountable for delivering approximately seven (7) hires per week—roughly 30 per month—in sorting, processing, finishing, and other production roles. These positions require no prior experience, so the TAP recruits for reliability, shift availability, and the ability to meet the physical demands of the work. The TAP partners directly with plant managers and site HR to convert staffing plans into filled shifts, moves candidates from application to first day worked with speed and consistency, and helps replace the Company’s reliance on third-party agencies and temporary staffing with a disciplined, measurable in-house process.

Why Join Us? The Company is rebuilding how it hires, and this role is where that work shows up in the plants every week. The Talent Acquisition Partner will be part of the team that proves the in-house model works—using a defined funnel, clear service levels, and real data rather than guesswork. In a high-volume production environment, every hire directly affects plant throughput, overtime, and service to hospitals and healthcare customers. The Company has been repeatedly recognized for its workplace culture, and the TAP is often the first impression a candidate has of that culture. Compensation Approved Salary Band | $68,000-$75,000 Annual Incentive- 7% | Paid Quarterly Primary Duties and Responsibilities:❖ Full-Cycle High-Volume Recruiting (Primary Focus ~50%)

Own an assigned requisition load of production roles across plants and shifts, consistently delivering approximately seven (7) hires per week against plant staffing plans.
Manage the full recruiting cycle—posting, sourcing, screening, interview and tour scheduling, offer, pre-employment screening, and start date—within established service-level agreements.
Make first contact with applicants quickly and keep candidates moving; minimize the time between application, screen, interview, and offer.
Conduct structured phone screens that assess shift availability, transportation, and fit, and give candidates an accurate preview of the work environment, schedule, pay, and physical demands before they accept.
Coordinate interviews and plant tours with hiring managers, and organize on-site interview days and same-day offer events where appropriate.
Extend offers within approved guidelines, manage acceptance through background and drug screening, and confirm start dates with candidates and plant leadership.
Recruit for attendance, reliability, and willingness to learn rather than prior experience, opening production roles to first-time workers, career changers, and candidates re-entering the workforce.❖ Sourcing & Pipeline Development
Build and maintain evergreen pipelines for continuously recurring production roles so that second shift, third shift, weekend, and seasonal staffing is proactive rather than reactive.
Source candidates through job boards, text recruiting, social channels, ATS candidate rediscovery, employee referrals, and direct outreach.
Plan and staff hiring events, job fairs, and community partnerships, including workforce boards, community and faith-based organizations, adult education and ESL programs, and other local partners in plant communities.
Promote the employee referral program with plant employees and supervisors as a primary, low-cost sourcing channel.
Support bilingual and Spanish-language applicant flow where local market demographics warrant.❖ Hiring Manager & Plant Partnership
Serve as the primary recruiting contact for plant managers, supervisors, and site HR within assigned locations.
Lead intake conversations for new requisitions to confirm department, shift, pay, physical requirements, and interview process before posting.
Participate in regular staffing calls covering open positions by plant and shift, pipeline status, upcoming starts, and attrition risks.
Hold hiring managers to interview and feedback timelines, coach on structured interviewing and consistent selection criteria, and escalate delays or process issues to the Director of Talent Acquisition.
Partner with HR and Operations on the handoff from offer accepted to first day worked to reduce no-shows and early fallout at onboarding and orientation.❖ ATS, Data & Reporting
Maintain accurate, real-time candidate records in the applicant tracking system, including timely disposition of every applicant.
Track and report personal funnel performance: applicants, screens, interviews, offers, acceptances, starts, no-shows, time-to-fill, and 30-day retention, measured against weekly hiring goals.
Identify where candidates drop off in the funnel and recommend adjustments to postings, screening, scheduling, or sourcing.
Provide feedback on source-of-hire and channel effectiveness to help direct advertising spend toward what actually produces hires.❖ Candidate Experience & Employer Brand
Write and refresh job postings for clarity, search visibility, and shift and pay transparency, following Company standards.
Communicate promptly and professionally with candidates at every stage, including closing the loop with non-selected and declined candidates.
Represent the Company positively in every candidate interaction, hiring event, and community touchpoint.❖ Agency Reduction & Process Discipline
Fill positions in-house that have historically been routed to third-party agencies or temporary staffing vendors.
Follow the documented recruiting playbook and service-level agreements, and identify gaps or improvements for the Director’s review.
Support plant expansions, new customer start-ups, and acquisition integrations with focused recruiting efforts as assigned.❖ Compliance & Risk
Ensure recruiting activity complies with federal, state, and local employment laws, including EEO, record-keeping, FCRA background screening, drug screening, and I-9 and work authorization requirements.
Apply consistent, documented selection standards that support defensible hiring decisions.
Maintain confidentiality and data security in alignment with Company policies and legal obligations.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
