This is a spectacular opportunity to join a stable, recession-resistant private equity-backed company and partner with senior leaders to help build and guide the organization's people and talent function from the ground up. The company is rapidly growing and needs a driven Talent Acquisition (TA) professional who can bring strong organizational skills, proven selection and sourcing ability, and a passion for creating enduring company cultures in the skilled trades industry. The Talent Acquisition Specialist will help optimize current practices, track and impact key TA metrics, and ensure the adoption of new recruiting tools with managers and HR partners. The right business partner will understand what a best-in-class professional organization looks like and is interested in working on building that in a very hands-on but rewarding environment. In this role, you will enjoy the stability and high growth of a small business environment while benefiting from being backed by a large network of companies and professionals with decades of success. You will be part of a recession-resistant, truly essential business and use your recruiting and communication skills to help transform the company. The position is hybrid based in Kansas City, MO, with occasional travel (15%) to other business locations and partner business sites. As a key talent acquisition role, you will continuously execute strategies and tactics to autonomously drive attraction, sourcing, interviewing, and hiring of a world-class workforce in the skilled trades, specifically technicians and management in Kansas and Iowa. You will also work with trade leaders to develop their ability to select and retain great people, and increase brand awareness as an “Employer of Choice” in the market through marketing and community involvement, opening new talent pools.
