This is a strategic, high-visibility role where your recruiting excellence directly fuels company growth.​
     
    Key Responsibilities:

    • Build and execute a comprehensive recruiting strategy aligned with company growth roadmap, scaling from our current four sales reps to multiple teams across functions
    • Own full recruiting lifecycle: sourcing, screening, interviewing coordination, offer negotiation, onboarding, and retention follow-up
    • Develop deep expertise in recruiting sales talent (customer account associates, account executives, carrier sales reps) as well as operations, backend technology, and support roles
    • Source candidates proactively through job boards, industry networks, referrals, social recruiting, and direct outreach
    • Partner with hiring managers to define role requirements, craft compelling job descriptions, and calibrate hiring bar
    • Manage recruiting metrics and pipeline: time-to-hire, cost-per-hire, quality of hire, offer acceptance rate
    • Support HR functions including new hire onboarding, employee documentation, and compliance
    • Build and nurture talent pipelines for future roles and anticipated openings
    • Represent Freight Wizards as an employer brand builder at industry events and professional networks
    Qualifications:

    • 5-plus years of recruiting experience, preferably including 2-plus years in a recruiting management or coordinating role
    • Proven track record sourcing and closing sales talent, ideally in logistics, transportation, or B2B environments
    • Strong metrics orientation: ability to own recruiting KPIs and communicate progress to leadership
    • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with candidates, hiring managers, and peers
    • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, metrics-driven, growth-stage environment
    • Self-starter mentality with proactive problem-solving and initiative-taking
    • Understanding of hiring law, employment compliance basics, and best practices a plus
    What We Offer:

    • Competitive base salary $65,000–95,000 dollars per year, commensurate with experience
    • Uncapped quarterly performance bonuses tied to recruiting quality metrics: time-to-hire, offer acceptance rate, new hire retention at 90 days, and hiring manager satisfaction
    • Exposure to C-level leadership and direct input into company strategy
    • Growth trajectory: as we scale, your role expands to full HR leadership if desired
    • Fast-growing, mission-driven freight brokerage with cutting-edge AI-native operations platform
