We’re partnering with a global manufacturing company in the Spartanburg area to hire an internal Talent Acquisition professional to lead the plant's recruitment and hiring efforts.
In this role, you’ll serve as the plant’s lead for recruiting and hiring, working closely with managers and supervisors across multiple departments to support a wide range of roles, from front-line production to skilled/technical and salaried positions. You’ll play a key role in shaping recruiting strategy, driving hiring activity, and supporting broader workforce and retention initiatives across the operation.
What you’ll do…
- Lead recruiting efforts for a high-volume manufacturing facility, supporting both front-line production hiring and skilled/technical roles that keep the operation running.
- Partner closely with HR and production leadership to understand staffing priorities, clarify role requirements, and align recruiting efforts with evolving operational needs.
- Spend time on the production floor building relationships with supervisors and managers, learning the nuances of each role and translating those insights into targeted recruiting strategies.
- Source, screen, and interview candidates using a mix of job boards, referrals, community outreach, and proactive recruiting methods.
- Effectively qualify candidates for both front-line and technical positions, ensuring applicants have the skills, experience, and work ethic required to succeed in a manufacturing environment.
- Build strong working relationships with supervisors and hiring managers to maintain consistent communication, timely feedback, and efficient hiring decisions.
- Track recruiting activity, pipeline progress, and performance metrics, maintaining clear visibility into open roles, candidate flow, and weekly results.
- Contribute ideas to strengthen recruiting processes, tools, and workflows as the organization continues to scale and evolve.
What we’re looking for…
- 3+ years of recruiting experience in manufacturing environments.
- Experience recruiting for both front-line manufacturing roles and skilled/technical positions such as maintenance technicians, quality technicians, engineers, or other plant-critical talent.
- Ability to manage multiple openings simultaneously while maintaining strong organization, follow-up, and attention to detail.
- Highly organized and KPI-driven, with the ability to track and report progress across multiple active searches.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the confidence to work directly with supervisors, plant leadership, and HR partners.
- Proactive and self-directed, someone who takes initiative, stays organized, and keeps searches moving without needing constant direction.
- Comfortable learning the operation firsthand, being on the plant floor, and developing a strong understanding of the roles being hired for.
- Proficiency with major job boards and recruiting platforms (Indeed, ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn, etc.)
