• 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, in-house or agency, including demonstrated high-volume hourly hiring.

Responsibilities

• Partner with hiring managers on role definition, candidate calibration, and realistic expectation setting.
• Build and maintain active pipelines for the company's highest-volume and highest-turnover roles ahead of need, and support executive searches with panel coordination and interview guides.

• Coordinate panel interview scheduling across a rotating cross-functional interview panel.

• Administer Missouri agent identification applications and renewals, and ensure first-day readiness alongside hiring managers.
• Launch and operate a leadership ambassador referral channel, from card distribution through candidate screening and attribution tracking.
• Build partnerships with Missouri cannabis, horticulture, and workforce programs — campus presence, guest instruction, facility tours, and practicum placement.
• Extend outreach to workforce boards, veteran employment services, and trade and interest-based associations across the region.
• Administer the employee referral program, including eligibility verification and payout coordination.
• Configure and enforce source tagging in the applicant tracking system before any channel goes live.
