What are the responsibilities and job description for the Talent Acquisition Manager position at Generation Auto Group?
Job Overview
HELP WANTED: Talent Acquisition Manager
(Also known as Recruitment Manager or Hiring Manager)
High-Volume Auto Dealership Group – (New York, Long Island and New Jersey)
We’re one of the fastest-growing dealership groups in the region and we’re expanding again. That means we need great people — fast — in sales, service, F&I, detail, parts, and front-desk roles. We’re looking for an experienced, high-energy recruiter who thrives in a retail automotive environment and can keep our stores fully staffed with top performers.
What You’ll Do Every Day
- Own full-cycle recruiting for 100-200 hires per year (mostly sales consultants, service advisors, technicians, and support roles).
- Post jobs, write ads that actually get responses, and run aggressive campaigns on really, Facebook, ZipRecruiter, Craigslist, LinkedIn, and local trade schools.
- Build a steady pipeline of licensed techs, BDC agents, and hungry salespeople.
- Screen hundreds of applications weekly, phone interview, and schedule in-person interviews with hiring managers the same week.
- Host monthly open-house hiring events and weekend job fairs.
- Run background checks, motor vehicle reports, and drug screens.
- Extend offers, negotiate pay plans, and get new hires to Day-1 training on time.
- Track time-to-fill, cost-per-hire, and turnover — and beat last year’s numbers.
- Work hand-in-hand with GMs and department managers to forecast needs before positions even open.
- Keep our Google and really reviews strong by giving every applicant a fast, respectful experience.
What You Bring
- 3 years of high-volume recruiting experience (auto dealership, retail, hospitality, or call center experience is a big plus).
- Proven ability to hire 15–30 people per month without sacrificing quality.
- You’re not afraid of cold-calling techs or walking the service drive with a clipboard.
- Comfortable with Applicant Tracking Systems
- Available to work some Saturdays for hiring events.
- A hustle-first mindset — this is not a 9-to-5 corporate TA role.
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary ($70k–$95k DOE) monthly bonus for hitting hiring goals.
- Full benefits (health, dental, 401k match, paid time off).
- Demo or monthly car allowance.
- Clear growth path — many of our GMs and corporate leaders started in recruiting or sales.
- Fun, fast-paced environment with free lunch Fridays and dealership events.
If you live for the thrill of closing candidates the same way our salespeople close deals, we want you on the team.
