talent acquisition manager.

The goal? Successfully hire, orient, and onboard 150 personnel by the end of August 2026. The infrastructure is already built, the hiring processes are locked in, and the KPIs are clearly defined. We don't need a process builder-we need a master executor who loves being on the floor with their team. If you are a headcount champion who thrives under a tight deadline and knows how to drive a high-volume funnel across the finish line, we need you on-site today.

Responsibilities:

• Drive the 150-Person Ramp: Own the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle for this critical summer surge, ensuring seamless execution from initial job board postings and pre-screens all the way through to final orientation and onboarding.
• Lead the On-Site Squad: Manage, motivate, and align an on-site team of 4 Production Recruiters and 1 specialized Technical Recruiter.
• Enforce Established KPIs: Keep your finger on the pulse of daily, weekly, and monthly targets. You will ensure the team is consistently hitting aggressive benchmarks across all stages: Pre-screens, Interviews, Offers, Hires, Orientations, and Onboardings.
• Remove Bottlenecks Fast: Monitor the funnel daily to identify lag times, optimize recruiter bandwidth, and partner directly with local hiring managers for rapid feedback and offer extensions.

A High-Volume Velocity Expert:

• You have a proven track record of managing talent acquisition teams through rapid, short-term headcount surges (e.g., manufacturing ramps, plant expansions, or new facility launches).
• Waco-Based / Ready to Be On-Site: You thrive in a collaborative, face-to-face environment and are ready to be 100% on-site at our Waco facility to drive daily huddles and face-to-face accountability.
• Data & Metrics Obsessed: You run your day by the numbers. You know exactly how many pre-screens it takes to yield a Day 1 orientation, and you manage your team's output accordingly.
• Immediately Available: With our strict August 2026 deadline, you are ready to jump in, absorb the existing playbook, and start leading on Day 1.
