- Extend offers and complete onboarding paperwork, handing off cleanly to HR
- Route candidates to the right location when fit or availability shifts across sites
- Track and report on key metrics, including time-to-fill, 90-day retention, and GM satisfaction
- Build and maintain a values-based screening rubric in partnership with HR and site leadership
- Provide regular feedback loops with GMs after each hiring cycle to continuously improve the process
- Identify and support continuous improvement initiatives within the hiring process as the company scales
