Talent Acquisition Specialist
About The Position
At RK, our Talent Acquisition Specialists play a critical role in building the teams that drive our continued growth. As a Talent Acquisition Specialist, you'll manage a high volume of recruiting activity while combining recruiting expertise, strategic thinking, and proactive problem-solving to deliver critical hires and help improve how recruiting gets done across the organization. This is a fast-paced role where you'll own a targeted requisition load, build multiple talent pipelines at once, and execute high-volume recruiting strategies across a variety of roles. Working closely with hiring managers, recruiters, and leadership, you'll identify talent risks and pipeline gaps, create forward-looking hiring plans, and keep multiple searches moving with urgency. And you won't recruit alone. RK's growing organization, collaborative culture, and diverse business operations give our TA team the opportunity to build relationships across the company and make a meaningful impact on how we attract and hire great people. This is an opportunity to influence more than individual hires—it's an opportunity to help shape how RK builds its teams.
