  • Source, screen, and qualify candidates using multiple recruiting channels.
  • Review applications and conduct recruiter phone screens to assess qualifications and fit.
  • Coordinate interviews and maintain consistent communication with candidates and hiring managers throughout the hiring process.

  • Maintain accurate candidate records and recruiting activity within Workday.
  • Manage multiple open requisitions simultaneously while meeting hiring timelines.
  • Ensure a positive candidate experience through timely communication and professional follow-up.
  • Assist with recruiting process improvements while maintaining established Workday recruiting workflows.
Qualifications
  • Corporate recruiting experience required.
  • Strong experience with Workday Recruiting is highly preferred (or extensive experience using a comparable Applicant Tracking System).
  • Proven ability to manage multiple requisitions in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience sourcing and recruiting for technical, engineering, operations, industrial, manufacturing, energy, or similar corporate positions.
  • Strong interviewing, candidate assessment, and relationship-building skills.
  • Excellent organizational, time management, and follow-up abilities.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and quickly adapt to changing priorities.
Preferred Experience
  • Recruiting within manufacturing, industrial, engineering, energy, or technical environments.
  • Experience partnering with hiring managers across multiple departments.
  • Experience supporting high-volume recruiting while maintaining quality candidate pipelines.
Why You'll Be a Great Fit
This position is ideal for an experienced recruiter who enjoys owning the recruiting process, building strong candidate relationships, and partnering with hiring managers to deliver top talent. If you're organized, proactive, and experienced with Workday Recruiting, we'd love to hear from you.
