  • Conduct daily applicant flow management, including walk-ins, job fairs, community outreach, and referral programs.

  • Partner with supervisors and plant leadership to understand staffing needs, turnover trends, and skill gaps.
  • Maintain accurate requisition data, candidate notes, and hiring metrics in ATS (UKG/Kronos or your system).
Compliance & Documentation
  • Perform I-9 verification, E-Verify processing, and document validation with 100% accuracy.
  • Ensure all onboarding packets, offer letters, and hiring forms meet federal, state, and company compliance standards.
  • Maintain audit-ready records for HR.
  • Support pre-employment requirements (drug screens, background checks, physicals, PPE fit testing, etc.).
  • Uphold confidentiality and data integrity in all hiring and onboarding processes.
Onboarding & New Hire Experience
  • Facilitate daily or weekly new-hire orientations, including safety training, HR policies, and facility rules.
  • Coordinate with Safety, IT, Payroll, and Operations to ensure new hires are fully prepared for Day 1.
  • Ensure new hires receive badges, PPE, locker assignments, timeclock setup, and department introductions.
  • Monitor early-tenure retention and conduct follow-ups at 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days.
Workforce Support & Facility Presence
  • Provide daily on-site HR support to employees, supervisors, and applicants.
  • Participate in shift-start meetings, plant walkthroughs, and safety huddles to maintain visibility.
  • Assist with cross-training, job postings, internal transfers, and rehire eligibility checks.
  • Serve as a resource for employees regarding attendance, policies, and HR procedures.

  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) highly preferred due to workforce demographics.
  • Excellent communication, documentation, and organizational skills.
  • Ability to maintain professionalism, confidentiality, and composure under pressure.
  • Must have advanced Excel and reporting skills, including pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, dashboards, and data analysis for recruiting metrics.
