Requirements

  • Full-lifecycle recruiting for frontline, supervisory and regional operations staff, working directly with Field Operations Managers and People Operations.

  • Experience using AI recruiting tools to improve sourcing and speed up high-volume hiring.
  • Working knowledge of multi-state employment rules, Fair Chance hiring practices and standard pre-employment screening.
