Four Seasons Produce • Ephrata, PA

8d • Onsite

About The Position

The Senior Talent Acquisition Manager leads the recruiting function for Four Seasons Family of Companies, spanning four operating entities: Four Seasons Produce, Sunrise Logistics, and Sunrise Transport, and Earth Source. The role owns the strategy, team, technology, vendor relationships, and results for all hiring across the organization—with primary focus on warehouse associates (selectors, generalists operating powered pallet jacks and high-lift reach trucks), CDL drivers, and diesel technicians. This is a strategic leadership role and a permanent member of the HR leadership team. The Senior TA Manager partners directly with Operations leadership on workforce planning, manages recruiting budget and vendor ROI, and drives the adoption of modern recruitment marketing and AI-enabled sourcing practices to keep pace with a growing business in a competitive labor market. The role requires a hands-on leader who sets strategic direction while remaining directly involved in sourcing, screening, and closing candidates when volume demands it. The ideal candidate is a servant leader who develops their team, manages vendors with accountability, and delivers measurable hiring results.
