• Maintain accurate and timely documentation in the applicant tracking system (ATS) and ensure data integrity for reporting and compliance.
• Track and report recruiting metrics such as time to fill, time to start, candidate flow, event conversion, source effectiveness, and no-show or early attrition trends; propose improvements.
• Ensure consistent and compliant hiring practices, including EEO, interview documentation, and adherence to company policies and local, state, and federal employment laws.
• Promote the employer brand in local markets and strengthen community pipelines through technical schools, workforce boards, veteran organizations, and community groups to support ongoing manufacturing hiring needs.
