Manufacturing Recruiter (Salaried & Hourly) – Build Talent for a High-Growth Operation

Near Woodridge, IL (Onsite)

Full-Time | High-Impact Talent Acquisition

400 Employee Advanced Manufacturing Environment

$90K–$120K Quarterly Incentive

About the Company

You’ll be joining a fast-moving, high-performance manufacturing organization that’s scaling with intention. This is a plant that takes pride in its people, its precision, and its ability to grow the right way. Think modern production floors, climate-controlled facilities, and leaders who actually understand the value of hiring well.

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to recruit for a place where your hires genuinely shape the future of the operation — this is that place.

About the Role

This is not a transactional seat-filler position. This is frontline talent building.

You’ll recruit the people who MAKE the work happen — engineers, supervisors, maintenance pros, operators, leads, and the hourly teams who keep production running with craftsmanship and pride.

If you love understanding how a plant ecosystem fits together…

If you can walk a manufacturing floor and feel what good talent looks like…

If you believe retention starts at the first conversation…

You’re home.

This role is built for someone who values longevity, consistency, and the long game — not someone who changes jobs every 16–20 months. You’re here to help build something that lasts.

Responsibilities

Full-Cycle Talent Acquisition

• Recruit across salaried and hourly disciplines, from engineering to production.

• Run a professional, structured search process that mirrors world-class manufacturers.

• Build real talent pipelines — not “just-in-time” scrambling.

Partnership With Plant Leadership

• Work directly with supervisors, managers, directors, and HR partners.

• Understand workforce needs beyond a job description.

• Influence hiring decisions with insights, data, and genuine talent instincts.

Salaried & Hourly Mastery

• Salaried: engineering, supply chain, ops leadership, finance, technical roles.

• Hourly: production, assembly, maintenance, plant logistics, skilled trades.

Build Culture Through Hiring

• Bring in people who stay — people who want to grow, contribute, and take pride in their craft.

• Keep the job-hoppers, résumé tourists, and “just browsing” candidates out of the funnel.

Data, Process & Continuous Improvement

• Track metrics like a business athlete: time-to-fill, quality-of-hire, turnover indicators.

• Improve interview flow, communication, candidate experience, and hiring manager alignment.

Qualifications

✔ 3–7 years of recruiting experience in manufacturing, industrial, or engineering-driven environments

✔ Experience recruiting both salaried and hourly manufacturing talent

✔ Highly organized and resilient — great under pressure, strong with shifting priorities

✔ Comfortable onsite, visible, and connected to the operation

✔ Values-driven: craftsmanship, professionalism, consistency, long-term fit

Required Skills

If you’ve built teams — not just filled requisitions — you’ll thrive here.

If you hop every year, this role will feel too grounded and too long-term.
