- Monitor recruitment velocity metrics, including time-to-fill, candidate pass-through rates, and source efficacy, using data to address regional hiring bottlenecks
- Serve as the first touchpoint for Metropolis in local communities, championing our technology, operational vision, and growth opportunities

## What we're looking for

- 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a focus on high-volume, field, retail, hospitality, light industrial, or multi-site operations hiring
- Demonstrated track record of managing 15–25+ open requisitions simultaneously while maintaining low time-to-fill metrics
- Expertise in geo-targeted sourcing methods (e.g., Indeed, Craigslist, local hiring events, community partnerships) alongside traditional recruiting channels
- Proficiency with modern Applicant Tracking Systems (e.g., iCIMS, Greenhouse) and recruitment databases
- Experience leveraging AI recruiting tools to optimize candidate sourcing and accelerate high-volume hiring workflows
- Working knowledge of multi-state employment regulations, Fair Chance hiring practices, and standard pre-employment screening workflows
- Strong interpersonal and negotiation skills, with an ability to communicate effectively with both frontline talent and regional corporate leadership
- High adaptability and problem-solving skills suited to a rapidly growing, operationally complex environment

While not required, these are a plus:

- Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
