Talent Acquisition Specialist

The Opportunity

The Talent Acquisition Specialist owns hiring for their region. Every open position in your market runs through you, from craft and field roles through office and professional staff. You will partner with your hiring managers to understand what they need, prescreen and interview candidates, support the offer process, and hand off cleanly to onboarding.

Your region is yours to build. You will come to know its labor pool, its hiring managers, and where the good candidates actually come from, and you will carry the full range of what we hire there rather than a slice of it. When a position in your market opens, filling it is your result to own.
