• Support large-scale hourly recruitment for distributed warehouse and fleet locations, including managing state work permits and agent badge requirements.
• Maintain and enhance applicant tracking system workflows (Greenhouse), including knockout questions, application forms, scoring tools, and rejection reasons to ensure pipeline clarity.
• Ensure an excellent end-to-end candidate experience with consistent communication and offer negotiations.
• Maintain meticulous data upkeep on candidate dispositions and funnel metrics, regularly reporting on pipeline health, hiring timelines, and conversion statistics to leadership.
• Oversee recruiting technology and channel expenditures, aligning investments with hiring results.
• Ensure compliance with multi-state employment laws such as the Fair Chance Act and state-specific application mandates.
• Identify process inefficiencies and design scalable standard operating procedures, templates, and tools to support team growth.

• Experience in startup environments or high-growth companies, embracing ambiguity and evolving priorities.
• Proficient and hands-on experience with Greenhouse ATS, capable of configuring workflows, question sets, scoring rubrics, and analytical reports.
• A proactive, solution-driven mindset enthusiastically tackling process optimizations alongside hands-on recruitment activities.
• Proven ability to identify gaps and implement new standard operating procedures, templates, and systems.
• Experienced recruiting across both corporate and hourly operational roles.
• Highly skilled in data management, building recruitment trackers, analyzing funnel metrics, and delivering robust reports to leadership.
• Exceptional stakeholder communication skills, comfortable collaborating with senior leaders and hiring managers.
• Flexible and willing to undertake diverse responsibilities including recruiting, coordination, reporting, and occasional People Ops support.
• Prior experience navigating regulated industries' pre-employment protocols (e.g., cannabis, healthcare, gaming, or DOT-regulated transportation) is a significant advantage.
• Knowledge of multi-state employment compliance requirements is beneficial.
• Experience within the cannabis industry, startups, or distribution/logistics sectors is a plus.
