About the position

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.

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.
