Logistics Recruiter / Talent Acquisition Specialist

AMNEX SOLUTIONS CORP•Chicago, IL

1d•$50,000 - $120,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Amnex Solutions Corp is a rapidly growing transportation and logistics company specializing in OTR, drayage, and complex transportation solutions nationwide. Over the last year, we have grown more than 10X. Now we're building the team that will take us through the next stage. Our company moves fast. We work hard, solve problems, compete, and expect people to take ownership of what they do. We have an entrepreneurial culture where strong performers are given room to make decisions, build teams, and create something meaningful. We're not interested in becoming a slow, bureaucratic logistics company. We want talented people — and we need someone exceptional at finding them. The Opportunity: We are looking for a Logistics Recruiter / Talent Acquisition Specialist who can become the engine behind Amnex's continued hiring. This is not a position where you simply post jobs on Indeed and wait for resumes. We want someone who can hunt for talent. You'll identify high-performing logistics professionals, build relationships with people who aren't necessarily looking for a new job, sell them on the opportunity at Amnex, and create a continuous pipeline of people who can help us grow. As the company grows, you'll help us identify talent needs before they become emergencies.
