Recruiter

Description

About the company. American factories deserve a supply chain that moves as fast as they do. The company is building it, along with the tools that run it. We’re a technology company with operations in Metro Detroit and Los Angeles, supplying aluminum plate, bar, and rounds to aerospace and defense manufacturers. We use software and automation to supply metal to American factories faster than the industry thought possible.

The role. We’re hiring a Recruiter to find and close the people who will build the company. You will recruit across factory operations, engineering, sales, marketing, finance, and leadership, adapting your approach while holding a consistent bar for ownership, judgment, and ability.

This is a full-cycle role. You will learn the work, build the search, engage candidates directly, run a disciplined process, and help hiring managers make better decisions.

• Coach hiring managers on interviews, evidence, speed, and candidate experience
• Keep candidates informed and represent the company honestly and compellingly
• Maintain accurate pipeline data and use it to identify bottlenecks
• Build local talent networks around our Los Angeles and Detroit facilities
• Improve interview plans, recruiting content, referrals, and onboarding handoffs
• Support high-volume hiring without lowering the standard

Requirements

• Credible with factory candidates, technical specialists, and senior leaders
• Fast and organized across many active searches

• Data-aware without treating recruiting as a spreadsheet exercise
• Accountable for outcomes and willing to change a search that is not working
• Experience recruiting for manufacturing, industrial operations, engineering, or hard-to-fill technical roles
• Experience with both hourly and salaried searches
• Experience building a recruiting function in a fast-growing company
• Strong command of Ashby or another modern applicant-tracking system
• Comfort using AI tools for research and administration while preserving human judgment

Benefits
